The establishment of APHN is a reality because of the various regional and national health system gaps and challenges observed over the years including the lessons obtained from the recent COVID-19 pandemic. To have maximum impact and enhance footprint across the African continent, APHN has managed to involve within its network various organizations and entities functioning in different parts of Africa. APHN has strong and capable organizations within its network. The breadth of their scope of work covers all regions in Africa. The APHN’s approach would enable our network members to direct resources quickly and effectively. We believe that by forging partnerships, we can accomplish more to address and support health system problems and gaps in Africa. Our fast-track partnerships with various organization within the network and beyond will enable to have effective resource mobilization and a timely response. The accumulated rich experience by its network members would enable APHN to effectively undertake the roles of strengthening African health system.
