Amref Health Africa was founded in 1957 and has since grown to become the largest African-based international health development organization. Amref Health Africa is driven by its vision of ‘Lasting health change in Africa’ and its mission ‘To catalyse and drive community-led and people-centred health systems while addressing social determinants of health.’ We believe that the power to transform Africa’s health lies within its communities; therefore, we strive to ensure that health systems are not only functional but also that communities are empowered to hold these systems accountable for delivering quality and affordable healthcare.

Y-ACT, Youth in Action, is a multi-country youth-led initiative established in 2017 at Amref Health Africa. With a current presence in over 21 countries in Africa, Y-ACT mentors, supports, and increases the capacity of youth advocates and youth-led organizations to influence youth health policy and resource priorities. Y-ACT believes that Africa’s youth have a huge opportunity to shift policy landscapes to address challenges that the youth face and subsequently achieve their full potential.
