As African countries adopt the Sustainable Development Goals and prepare to meet the ambitious targets for 2030, strong regional cooperation will become increasingly important to ensure commitments become action. USAID and the African Strategies for Health (ASH) project, led by MSH, invite you to a side session alongside the 69th World Health Assembly to discuss the role of regional actors in the African health sector and opportunities to leverage greater collective impact on health outcomes through strengthened collaboration and partnership between global, multilateral, regional, and country-level stakeholders.
