African Global Health

What African Global Health does

African Global Health (AGH) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization founded in 2023 and initiated in Morocco, operating with a continental African mandate. Its stated mission is to bring together African scientific experts, economists, lawyers, and health policymakers to advance "health for all and by all" and continental health sovereignty, with emphasis on cultural and educational determinants of health. AGH does not sell products or services and has no disclosed technology stack, proprietary models, or APIs; its core activity is convening, advocacy, and knowledge dissemination on topics including health harm reduction, pandemic preparedness, climate and health, food security, and effective governance.

The organization reaches its audience through an event-driven go-to-market model anchored by its flagship African Health Harm Reduction Conference (held in two editions), the Africa Women's Health Symposium, and participation in external forums including the BHF Annual Conference and Abu Dhabi Global Healthcare Week. Distribution is executed via its website as a knowledge hub, social media (Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn), email newsletter, and field-level engagement at conferences and through institutional partnerships.

AGH is funded through membership contributions, institutional partnerships, and organizational sponsorships rather than commercial revenue. Its partner base spans six Moroccan government ministries (General Secretariat, Foreign Affairs, Health, Agriculture, Industry and Trade, Solidarity, Economy and Finance), continental and multilateral bodies (African Development Bank, UNICEF, Africa CDC), academic institutions (University of Ottawa), and African healthcare organizations (BHF, Africa Health Business, KZNDHC, Food Banking Regional Network). The organization is led by President Dr. Imane Kendili and supported by a continental ambassador network covering South Africa, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Egypt, and Sudan, with additional global ambassadors in India, Ecuador, Canada, and Brazil.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Africa CDC (Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention): Continental health institution coordinating disease prevention, pandemic preparedness, and health emergency response across Africa. Direct peer: AGH explicitly partners with Africa CDC and shares its mandate of African-led health coordination.
• Amref Health Africa: Large African NGO delivering health programs and advocacy across the continent. Comparable as a continental health-focused organization pursuing policy influence and partnerships with African governments.
• Speak Up Africa: Pan-African advocacy NGO driving policy change on health, gender, and sustainable development across the continent. Comparable in advocacy focus, event-driven GTM, and continental coalition-building model.
• Africa Health Business: Continental healthcare business development and market access platform. AGH is a strategic partner of AHB; both convene African healthcare leaders and policymakers at conferences like the BHF Annual Conference.
• Board of Healthcare Funders (BHF) Africa: Continental healthcare financing membership body hosting the BHF Annual Conference where AGH regularly exhibits. Comparable as a membership/coalition-driven platform shaping African healthcare policy dialogue.

Emerging players

• African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC): African-led research institution generating evidence to inform health policy across the continent. Comparable as an Afrocentric knowledge producer feeding into policy advocacy, though more research-focused.
• Resolve to Save Lives: Global health advocacy organization partnering with governments on epidemic preparedness and cardiovascular health. Comparable in mission-driven advocacy and policy implementation support model.
• Global Health 50/50: Advocacy initiative monitoring gender equity in global health policy. Comparable as a focused advocacy/policy organization working to shift institutional behavior in the health sector.

Broad incumbents

• WHO Regional Office for Africa (WHO AFRO): The UN's regional health body for Africa, coordinating WHO technical and policy engagement across member states. Operates with vastly greater scale and statutory mandate than AGH in the same continental health policy space.
• African Union Commission (Health, Humanitarian Affairs & Social Development): Continental political body with statutory health policy authority over African member states. A much larger institutional incumbent whose agenda overlaps with AGH's health sovereignty mission.
