Our Strategy

We are deeply committed to advocacy work aimed at advancing health and gender justice across the continent.

Our advocacy efforts take on multiple forms, both directly and indirectly, as we recognize that creating lasting change requires a multi-pronged approach. We utilize various tools such as public campaigns, petitions, policy briefs, media engagement, public speaking, and presentations, as well as position papers. These tools enable us to raise awareness about critical issues, mobilize public support, and engage with policymakers to drive meaningful change.

We understand the power of storytelling and testimonials in humanizing the issues we advocate for, and we leverage these narratives to connect with people on a personal level and drive our message home. Additionally, we employ digital activism to reach wider audiences and harness the collective power of online communities to advocate for health and gender justice. In our capacity-strengthening efforts for grassroots organizations, we offer comprehensive training in skill development, strategic planning, organizational development, research methodologies, and communication and media engagement.

Our goal is to create a network of empowered advocates who can drive positive change at the community, national, and regional levels. Our advocacy work is guided by a commitment to inclusivity, gender responsiveness, and evidence-based approaches, ensuring that the voices of those often marginalized are heard, and their rights are upheld in the realm of health and gender justice.

Our commitment to African-led research extends far beyond the conventional boundaries of knowledge generation. We firmly believe that this approach is the cornerstone of creating meaningful and sustainable change within health systems while advancing gender equality.

Our studies are deeply rooted in the cultural fabric of the diverse contexts across the continent, embedded within the communities. This approach empowers individuals and groups to actively participate in the research process, and it extends beyond the clinical realm to encompass social, economic, and political dimensions.

Our commitment to African-led research goes hand in hand with our dedication to informing policies and interventions that are tailored to the specific needs of the communities we engage with. Beyond research outcomes, our approach is geared towards driving community-centered change. We believe that communities should have a seat at the table when decisions about their health systems and gender dynamics are made.
