AFIDEP work on governance and accountability has primarily been with African parliaments to institutionalise strategies that enable them to improve their oversight, representative and legislative functions. We now seek to step up this work by strengthening capacity for evidence-informed decision-making as a mechanism for enhancing better governance and accountability in service delivery and use of public resources. Our governance and accountability programme acknowledges the importance of the intersecting gender equality issues in governance. Read more about our impact in the brochure here:

Most African governments are not spending enough on health care. As a result, the Sustainable Development Goal 3 targets of universal health coverage and financial risk protection by 2030 are unlikely to be achieved. Without strong health systems, African countries are unlikely to make significant progress on persistent health challenges as well as emerging epidemics such as non-communicable diseases, antimicrobial resistance and neglected tropical diseases. Our health and wellbeing priority focus area seeks to provide capacity strengthening and technical assistance for evidence-informed decision-making. Find more details in the brochure here:
