Description
The Afya Bora Consortium runs this global health leadership fellowship, listed by Northwestern University’s Institute for Global Health. The program aims to strengthen health systems in African partner countries through leadership training for African and U.S. health professionals. Its fellowship model prepares leaders for HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and research programs.
Afya Bora means “better health” in Swahili, reflecting the consortium’s health-system strengthening mission. The fellowship connects global health leadership development with the needs of HIV/AIDS programs across prevention, care, and research, rather than focusing on only one of these areas. Leadership training is the central activity.
