PublicHealth.Africa

PublicHealth.Africa (PHA) is a community-driven initiative strategically positioned to advance public health across Africa through open science and open education.

We are building a resilient, African-led ecosystem where researchers, educators, and institutions can collaborate, learn, and publish without barriers. With support from the West and Central African Research and Education Network (WACREN) and Peoples-Praxis, PHA strengthens local research infrastructure, empowers African researchers and professionals, and promotes knowledge equity across the region.

Through strategic partnerships, accessible training programmes, and community-led publishing platforms, PHA tackles key barriers to public health education and research in Africa, including limited access to quality learning, low visibility of research outputs, and gaps in research infrastructure. Our goal is to build a future where African public health knowledge is trusted, openly shared, and globally recognized.
