Redefining Global Health Governance Through African-Led Diplomacy
The African Global Health Diplomacy Network (AGHDN) is a high-level initiative committed to transforming global health governance, policy, and leadership through an African-led, equity-driven approach.
In a world where health policy is often dictated by a few powerful nations and institutions, AGHDN seeks to shift the balance—ensuring that African nations, researchers, and industry leaders have a seat at the table in shaping global health policies, funding structures, and research priorities.
📌 The Goal: To empower African nations and global health leaders to advocate for ethical, locally-driven, and decolonized health policies that prioritize equity, sustainability, and community-based solutions.
