Strengthening Regional Health and Social Development through Strategic Collaboration

The East, Central and Southern Africa Health Community (ECSA-HC) is honoured to host a high-level technical engagement with AUDA-NEPAD from 10–11 July 2025 at the ECSA-HC Secretariat in Arusha, Tanzania. This engagement follows the momentum of the A2DSRH Steering Committee meeting held in Geneva and aims to translate shared priorities into concrete programmes for health, youth empowerment, and social development across the region.

Focus Areas:

• Alignment with the Africa Demographic Dividend and Sexual and Reproductive Health (A2DSRH) programme

• Review of the Programme for Investment and Financing in Africa’s Health Sector (PIFAH)

• Advancing youth and women’s empowerment through the COYWA initiative

• Exploration of joint financing, procurement, and health systems support

This collaboration is a pivotal step toward:

• Creating a structured roadmap for joint programme implementation

•  Strengthening alignment between AUDA-NEPAD initiatives and ECSA-HC priorities

• Reinforcing commitments toward Agenda 2063, Universal Health Coverage, and inclusive growth

Together, AUDA-NEPAD and ECSA-HC are building resilient, people-centered health and social systems for a sustainable future.
