“To save lives and livelihoods by transforming the health and social sector landscape in Africa using better evidence for decision making, accountability and action.”

HSDF works on projects across the health and social sector in Africa, addressing complex and fundamental systems challenges. Within the health sector, we focus on the core pillars of health systems strengthening as well as priority disease and programmatic areas that improve health outcomes and reduce disease burden. We also address some of the social and environmental determinants of health and wellbeing through our engagement in the social sectors such as nutrition, water and sanitation, social safety nets etc.
