About This Cause
Amref is the largest Africa-based international health development organisation delivering health services and training to over 30 million people annually in 35 countries in Africa. Headquartered in Kenya and founded in 1957 as the Flying Doctors of East Africa which brought critical health services to remote communities, Amref continues to evolve and innovate their approach to increase sustainable health access in communities. Our strong technical expertise is matched by a robust operating platform, which supports our community-based last mile health delivery approach which has been refined over the last 65 years. We have strong, trusted partnerships and collaboration with governments; national, regional, and global policy makers, and multi-sectoral partnerships that support holistic and diversified community-health programming. Our expanded resource mobilisation strategy includes a lens on social enterprise, as well as an expanding geographic footprint across Africa. Amref’s vision is for lasting health change in Africa and our mission is to catalyse and drive community-led and people-centred primary care health systems while addressing social determinants of health. Our ambition is driven by six drivers of change: 1. The urgency to attain Universal Health Coverage (UHC) 2. The climate crisis 3. Growing youth population resulting in increased rapid urbanisation 4. Health security 5. Regional conflicts and their impact on health systems 6. Transformation in data and technology and its impacton access and delivery of health services Our strategy is intentionally aligned to key regional and global policies,frameworks and strategies that shape Africa’s health agenda such as Universal health Coverage(UHC), the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) and the Africa Health Strategy( AHS),all of which run until 2030, perfectly aligned with TRANSFORM. By 2030, Amref will deliver several health impacts in an expanding geographic footprint across Africa. Community health systems will be strengthened to better support and sustain UHC. We will increase access to and the use of quality Primary Health Care (PHC) to reduce morbidity and mortality; address social determinants of health; all in a quest to improve the livelihoods of women and young people who are the agents of change in our communities. Ultimately,throughTRANSFORM,Amref will support a stronger health development agenda to deliver lasting change in Africa. TRANSFORM’s strategic ambition will be achieved via two interconnected strategic platforms: ▪ Invest in people-centred community-led health systems for sustainable PHC ▪ Address social determinants of health to increase equitable access to health services Amref’s promise: “To TRANSFORMthe health of communities in Africa through investing in the health and lives of women and young people as agents of change in African communities”.
