The African Forum for Research and Education for Health (AFREhealth) is proud to be the recipient of a $ 3,942,419 five-year grant award from the US National Institutes of Health’s Fogarty International Center (NIH/FIC). The overall objective of this grant is to strengthen AFREhealth as a pan-African multi-professional young association, through building squarely upon the highly productive experience and achievements of the PEPFAR-supported Medical Education Partnership Initiative (MEPI) and Nursing Education Partnership Initiative (NEPI). The specific aims of the proposed grant are to:
1. Strengthen AFREhealth to become a leading, self-sustaining, pan-African inter-professional organization;
2. Provide strong professional skills development, inter-institutional and inter-professional partnerships, build collaborations, and shared learning to increase quantity, quality, and retention among African health workers;
3. Provide transformational leadership to increase productivity, impact, and visibility of African-led, locally relevant health research.
