At the Africa Health Collaborative's 2026 Annual Convening (Africa Unlocked), hosted by Amref International University, young entrepreneurs exhibited ventures they have already built - products, services and enterprises trading today, not ideas on paper.
Health devices designed for African contexts. Ventures where climate and health gains arrive together. Student researchers moving evidence into market. Women founders building businesses through structural barriers.
This is what the collaboratives are for - to convene, connect and build: founders to capital, research to market, skills to jobs. Africa does not need to be rescued. It needs its own innovations taken seriously - so whether to invest, buy, mentor or hire, the ventures were working with the Collaboratives. Do connect with us!

The Association of African Universities, backbone of the Africa Climate Collaborative, is participating in the Africa Health Collaborative's 2026 Annual Convening, themed - Africa Unlocked: Co-creating Impactful and Sustainable Youth-led Health Innovations - hosted by @AmrefUniversity, 17- 23 October.
Building green jobs and health jobs separately would be a missed opportunity. Building them together is the point.
Thank you to the Africa Health Collaborative and Amref International University for the space to exchange. We look forward to further opportunities to engage and take the discussions further

Today, Africa mourns the loss of a remarkable statesman, visionary leader, and champion for health and human dignity. His Excellency Festus Gontebanye Mogae was a passionate believer in the power of African-led solutions, evidence-based leadership, and stronger health systems for our continent.
As the Inaugural Chancellor of @AmrefUniversity, he helped shape a bold vision for nurturing the next generation of African health leaders. His wisdom, humility, and unwavering commitment to public service inspired many across Africa and beyond.
We are deeply grateful for his leadership, guidance, and legacy of service. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and the people of Botswana during this difficult time ~ @daktari1

Africa faces a critical shortage of skilled health workers, and closing that gap requires bold, sustained investment in training and workforce development. Many #health workers endure unsafe conditions, inadequate pay, and limited career growth opportunities. This drives talent away and widens the care gap for millions of patients. Addressing these systemic challenges is essential to building a resilient health system that works for everyone. @AmrefUniversity leads the way by offering structured pathways from certificates and diplomas to bachelorโs and masterโs degrees. These programmes equip health workers with the skills and confidence to deliver quality, essential health services across Africa.
