Achieving health in Africa through a united global community.
Our Approach
ASH works to improve the health status of populations across Africa through a three-pronged approach:
- Monitoring and analyzing health issues: ASH gathers knowledge on current trends in health, identifies constraints which prevent progress in improving health in Africa, and identifies solutions for addressing these constraints.
- Communicating and advocating for the adoption of promising and best practices: ASH shares information with regional partners about the effectiveness of health interventions, and advocates for the adoption of these practices.
- Enhancing technical capacity of African health institutions: ASH engages African regional institutions to address health issues in a sustainable manner and to build capacity in leadership and management. ASH promotes African strategic and technical leadership with the objective of empowering Africans to enhance country ownership.
