About Us

Drive change by developing strong African research leadership

African-founded, African-led, and Africa-based global research center

APHRC is a premier research-to-policy institution, generating evidence, strengthening research and related capacity in the African Research and Development (R&D) ecosystem, and engaging policy to inform action on health and development.

The Center is African-founded, African-led, and Africa-based, 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 evidenceinformed decision-making (EIDM) across sub-Saharan Africa
The Center’s portfolio comprises over 200 projects in more than 35 countries, involving global, regional, and national stakeholders. APHRC engages with policymakers in the region to influence policy decisions and to tackle development challenges in the continent.
APHRC started as a fellowship program and thereafter became autonomous in 2001 and was registered in the USA, and signed a Headquarters Agreement with the Government of Kenya as an African Regional Research Center. In the last two decades, the Center has grown, expanding its Africa-wide mandate and reaching partners globally.
