Global health research and development

Africa bears 25% of the global disease burden while producing just 2% of the world's research output. That imbalance has consequences, for health outcomes, for policy, and for the continent's ability to respond to emerging threats. We work with government leaders to champion policies that invest in African-led research and ensure health R&D secures its rightful place on political and financing agendas.
