A significant portion of the US$100+ million target is already secured. African governments have committed to raising research investment to 1% of GDP—up from today’s 0.5%—while global partners recognize that strengthening Africa’s science base enhances both health equity and global security and positions the continent as a long-term partner in discovery and manufacturing.
With political will, scientific talent, and new technologies ready for transfer, Africa has a unique opportunity to turn decades of investment into a self-sustaining engine for health solutions—developed in and for Africa as part of a clear, long-term development story rather than through short-term projects alone.
ACHIEVE Africa connects African scientists, institutions, manufacturers, funders, and global partners in a collaborative innovation network to deliver scientific, technical, and policy solutions for Africa’s health challenges.
The breadth of engagement across partners reflects a coordinated, continental approach, moving beyond isolated national efforts toward shared ambition and collective impact.
