Public Policy

Founded under a resolution by Africa Health Ministers, the African Constituency Bureau brings together 46 African countries that are recipients of Global Fund Support. The Bureau aims to help Africa attract, leverage and invest in resources to end epidemics in Africa, with AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria as top priorities.We do this by strengthening the capacity of African health leaders to effectively represent Africa's interests and needs, engage in global health governance and influence global health discussions and decisions. We facilitate the meaningful engagement of African countries in global health discussions and processes and ensure that Africa's voice is enhanced to influence Global Health policy decisions. The Bureau offers new thinking and new approaches to addressing some of today's most intractable health issues in Africa. One of the biggest challenges in influencing global health policy is accurate information. The Bureau, therefore, fosters independent policy analysis and research and provides forums – like think tanks, Cluster based Learning Networks, on-line policy forums and communities of practice – through which African academics, government officials, global health leaders and prominent thinkers can feed into policy discussions and debate key issues.
