The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Global Initiative for Breast Cancer Awareness brings together Susan G. Komen for the Cure's expertise and leadership, the Institute of International Educations (IIE) experience in global leadership training and international education, and the knowledge and expertise of local partners in nine countries: Brazil, Costa Rica, Jordan, Mexico, Panama, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine and the United Arab Emirates. Together, these groups are taking the fight against breast cancer to a new level.

The Komen Global Initiative empowers diverse stakeholders with the training, tools and support needed to influence strategic country-specific programming and funding decisions around breast cancer. The Global Initiative also strengthens individual and organizational capacity to launch effective education, awareness and advocacy campaigns that will increase early breast cancer detection and reduce mortality.
