The African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) is a premier research-to-policy institution, generating evidence, strengthening research and related capacity in the African research and development ecosystem, and engaging policy to inform action on health and development. The Center is Africa-based and African-led, with its headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, and a West Africa Regional Office (WARO) in Dakar, Senegal. APHRC seeks to drive change by developing strong African research leadership and promoting evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM) across sub-Saharan Africa.
APHRC has implemented numerous research projects over the last two decades and generated evidence that has shaped policy and practice across Africa, resulting in several global recognitions and awards. Its Africa-wide mandate and reach, the wide network of partners across the continent and globally, and successful large-scale programs have certainly put the Center on the global map.
The Center’s portfolio comprises over 100 projects in more than 35 countries involving global, regional, and national stakeholders. As a progressive African-based and African-led global research center invested in creating legacy impact, our work centers on three integrated programmatic areas: Research, Research, and Related Capacity Strengthening (RRCS) and Policy Engagement and Communications (PEC).
