Why a Health Intelligence Centre for Africa?

The quantity of data is growing steadily, but timeliness, accuracy, and use of this data to improve health is uneven. The Centre supports countries to strengthen capacity to identify, implement, and evaluate evidence-based actions that countries themselves decide are their priorities. Through coordination and cross-country learning, the Centre reinforces national systems anchored in sovereignty and driven by impact.
