Success Metrics
Our strategy is in direct response to challenges arising from six external drivers of change and augmented by key regional and global policies, frameworks, and strategies shaping Africa’s health agenda – such as UHC 2030, the Sustainable Development Goals, and the Africa Health Strategy 2030. The six drivers are:
- Urgency to attain universal health coverage by 2030
- Climate change and the intersectionality with health
- Demographic transition with a focus on growing youth population, rapid urbanisation and the impact on health
- Increasing need for Public Health Security driven by preparedness and response to emerging health threats
- Political instability and conflicts and their impact on health systems
- Transformation driven by technology
With Amref‘s heritage of a trusted organization, delivering on its promises and objectives to the people of Africa, the new strategy is set to have this impact on the continent:
- Strengthened community health systems towards sustainable UHC.
- Increased access to and utilisation of quality PHC to reduce morbidity and mortality.
- Improved livelihoods of women and young people to reduce inequalities.
- Improved social and structural conditions that impact health outcomes.
