Health & Wellbeing

Advocating for maternal health, reproductive rights, mental wellness and community health programmes that ensure women can fully participate in economic life.

About this Programme

Women's health and wellbeing are fundamental to economic participation and community development. WAN's Health & Wellbeing pillar advocates for comprehensive healthcare access for women across Africa — focusing on maternal health, reproductive rights, mental wellness and community health education. We partner with healthcare providers, community health workers and policy advocates to ensure that women can access the healthcare services they need to thrive. Good health is not just a human right — it is a prerequisite for women to fully participate in education, entrepreneurship and leadership.
