AFREhealth-Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) working Group

Duration: 120 minutes

The ACWG demonstrates that North-South partnerships are an effective way to generate rich ideas that  focus on improving health systems through collaboration. Several programs at AFREhealth have been designed to empower partners in the South with support from collaborators in the North and South. AFREhealth seeks to contribute towards establishing and sustaining a responsive health care workforce, providing high quality, interprofessional and evidence-based health care in Africa. The organization functions as a network of networks in Africa, working across multiple countries and numerous regional and international partnerships to meet its goals. AFREhealth actively promotes collaborative partnerships as being key to achieving its goals. The ACWG collaboration draws together a diverse group of members of both organizations, representing multiple professions and sharing their experiences in various domains.

ACWG has in existence since 2017. It works towards, defining areas for collaboration for the two organisations. It has three main groups namely, Research, Interprofessional Education and Student Exchange. The purpose of this meeting at the 2021 AFREhealth Symposium is to build on what has already been on done and forge a way forward for the collaboration.
