We are pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the East, Central, and Southern Africa Health Community (ECSA-HC), marking an important step toward strengthening collaboration in health diplomacy, regional health governance, and capacity development across Africa and beyond.
The MoU establishes a framework for cooperation between the two organizations in areas of shared interest, recognizing the growing importance of diplomacy, partnership building, and cross-sector collaboration in addressing today’s complex health challenges.
Through this collaboration, HDA and ECSA-HC aim to promote dialogue and knowledge exchange on health diplomacy and global health while supporting initiatives that strengthen leadership, institutional capacity, and regional cooperation.
The partnership will also create opportunities for joint activities, including policy engagement, research, training, technical exchanges, and the convening of stakeholders from across government, academia, civil society, and international organizations.
The agreement also underscores the importance of regional organizations in shaping global health discussions and ensuring that diverse perspectives contribute to international decision-making processes. By combining HDA’s expertise in health diplomacy with ECSA-HC’s extensive regional network and experience, both organizations are well positioned to advance practical solutions that respond to evolving health priorities.
