About ACHSGJ
The Africa Center for Health Systems and Gender Justice (ACHSGJ) is a feminist, Pan-African organisation committed to reimagining health systems that centre the voices, needs, and leadership of women and structurally marginalised groups. Grounded in the belief that health is not just about services but about justice, power, and dignity, ACHSGJ envisions an Africa where women and girls thrive in systems rooted in gender equity—systems that listen, respond, and deliver with care and inclusion.
Through three strategic pathways—Amplify, Equip, and Catalyse—ACHSGJ works to shift narratives and power in health governance, build the capacity of health actors to integrate gender equity, and support grassroots-led change through economic empowerment and accountability mechanisms.
