About This Sector
We support the strengthening of health systems across the EAC region, working toward universal health coverage, disease control, and cross-border health security. Our approach integrates health systems strengthening with community engagement and regional coordination.
The Challenge
East Africa faces a triple burden of communicable diseases, rising non-communicable diseases, and weak health systems. Health financing remains below the Abuja Declaration target of 15%, health workforce shortages persist, and cross-border health threats require coordinated regional responses.
