Amref Health Africa`s Strategic Direction Six is Developing a Strong Research and Innovation Base to Contribute to Health Improvement in Africa

A strong research and innovation base is key to identifying new and effective means of improving health across Africa. Between the years 2011 - 2014, Amref Health Africa'’s research will focus on influencing positive behavioural change to obtain better health outcomes, understanding health inequalities, addressing issues around disease prevention and uncovering strategies to build capacity in all areas of health service delivery.

To consolidate its position as a leader in African health development, Amref Health Africa researches and develops position papers on key health issues affecting communities in Africa as well as disseminates information through publication in peer reviewed journals and technical briefing papers.
