Regional Secretariat

AHOP is hosted by the WHO’s Regional Office for Africa (AFRO) who serve as the regional secretariat, helping to coordinate the Platform’s activities.

National Centres

National Centres are research institutions that serve as the focal points for analysis and knowledge brokering within each country. They lead the technical work of the Platform, supported by and working with technical partners to access primary research, academic networks and expertise.

Technical partners

Technical Partners are central to supporting the research and dissemination activity of the Platform. Through institutional partnerships, they bring together health systems expertise and networks from national, regional and global levels. Led by the London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE) and the European Observatory on Health Systems & Policies, the Technical Partners Consortium meets annually to discuss approaches to research, analysis and knowledge brokering.

Donor partners

The Platform has received seed funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Additional donors are expected to join as the Platform’s activities expand.
