Africa’s pharmaceutical future will not be secured by ambition alone. In this policy brief, the abstract outlines key policy priorities for strengthening pharmaceutical manufacturing in low- and middle-income countries, with a particular focus on Africa’s technological gaps and the reforms needed to close them. We hope this brief contributes to ongoing conversations on local manufacturing, access to medicines, health security, and African health sovereignty. Read the brief here: tinyurl.com/y9yf72bt

Publication Alert🔔 Our latest viewpoint, "The Frame That Kills: Post-Abortion Care, Colonial Penal Law, and the Right to Health," is now published in the @hhrjournal. In this viewpoint, @afyanahakiug's authors, Dr. @jessica_oga, Dr. @MulumbaMoses_, @stuartlawrenc, @MwebeFatina, and @nimrodmuhumuza, examine how colonial-era penal laws continue to undermine access to post-abortion care and reproductive health services across Africa. They argue that the central legal problem with the Court of Appeal's judgment is the conflation of post-abortion care with abortion itself, allowing lawful emergency treatment to be prosecuted as a criminal offence. This framing fuels stigma, exposes healthcare workers to legal risk, and undermines the right to health. The piece calls for clearer legal distinctions and rights-based reforms to protect access to essential care. Read the full viewpoint here: hhrjournal.org/2026/05/06/the…

What does it mean for Africa to be the author, not merely the subject, of its own health futures? On 22nd April, a distinguished line-up of scholars, practitioners, and policy leaders will convene to engage that very question. Their work spans institutions, disciplines, and continents and has consistently challenged the orthodoxies that govern how global health knowledge is produced, whose evidence counts, and how narratives about Africa are shaped. Grounded in rigorous research, institutional leadership, and lived experience across African and global contexts, each speaker brings a perspective that is both critically reflective and practically engaged. Together, they will move the conversation beyond critique toward a reimagining of global health and knowledge production in which African agency is not peripheral but constitutive of global intellectual and policy direction.

5 reasons. 1 conversation. And every single one matters. - Because Africa deserves to reclaim its own narrative in global health. - Because world-class African voices belong at the centre, not the margins. - Because the questions that matter most are still not being asked. - Because knowledge without action changes nothing. - Because this is bigger than a webinar, it is a movement. On 22nd April, @afyanahakiug is proud to bring this conversation to life. Come ready to engage, to challenge, and to be part of something meaningful. 10:00 AM EAT | Zoom | Register here: tinyurl.com/2u36y8w5

Who produces knowledge about Africa, who sets the agenda, and how do we reclaim that power? For too long, Africa has been written about, analysed, and interpreted by others. But a shift is underway. Across the continent, scholars, practitioners, and thinkers are challenging whose voices influence global health conversations and whose knowledge counts. On April 22nd, 2026, at 10:00 AM EAT, the Ubingwa Webinar Series brings together extraordinary voices to confront these questions under the theme Africa as Authors, Not Subjects. This conversation will explore how Africa can move from being studied to defining the narrative, setting priorities, and leading knowledge production on its own terms.

Africa produces the burden. The world produces the knowledge. That has to change. We are proud to launch the Ubingwa Webinar Series, a Cross-Sectoral Africentric Dialogue on Global Health, Colonial Legacies, and African Solidarity. We open with what may be our most urgent conversation yet, “Africa as Authors, Not Subjects”, exploring epistemic sovereignty, continental solidarity, and the health futures Africa must define and build for itself. Joining us for this inaugural session are five voices who don't just talk about this shift; they are building it: 👉🏾 Dr Ebere Okereke 👉🏾 Prof. Seye Abimbola 👉🏾 Prof. Ngozi Erondu. 👉🏾 Dr. Onikepe Owolabi 👉🏾 Dr. Mulumba Moses 22nd April 2026 | 10:00 AM EAT Register here: tinyurl.com/2u36y8w5 This is just the beginning. Come ready to think. Come ready to act.

Reproductive rights, health policy, and education systems across Africa are being reshaped by a document that has never completed the AU treaty process. Our latest policy brief, "Draft African Charter on the Protection of the Family, Sovereignty, and Values: A Critical Legal and Policy Analysis," is our response, equipping those working on the front lines with the legal tools to push back. In this brief, we examine the Charter through a rigorous legal lens. We identify three structural weaknesses that make it legally vulnerable under African regional law, expose the pathways through which its provisions are hardening into enforceable national law, and draw a sharp distinction between the Ubuntu that the Charter deploys to justify state and parental control over individuals and the Ubuntu African courts have consistently used to protect human dignity and extend rights to the most vulnerable. If you work in reproductive justice, public health law, civil society advocacy, or human rights across Africa, this is essential reading. Read it, share it within your networks, and use it.

Publication Alert 📢 This study examines the relationship between climate change and spontaneous abortion, exploring how environmental stressors such as extreme heat and other climate-related factors may affect pregnancy outcomes. The findings contribute to a growing body of evidence highlighting the need to consider climate change as an important factor in maternal and reproductive health. As climate impacts intensify globally, research like this is essential for informing policies and interventions that protect women’s health and reproductive rights.

.@afyanahakiug (Ahaki) researchers convened under the Epidemic and Pandemic Science Innovation and Leadership Networks (EPSILONs) of the Science for Africa Foundation (SFA) to develop a normative framework on the Right to Enjoy the Benefits of Scientific Progress (REBSP) for Africa. The framework is intended to clarify the content of the right within African legal and policy contexts and to provide guidance on state obligations to ensure that scientific progress is governed in ways that are equitable, accountable, and responsive to African people’s needs. Grounded in African values, knowledge systems, and traditions of collective wellbeing, it seeks to strengthen how the benefits of science are translated into tangible social and developmental gains across the continent.

New on the Ahaki blog: “HIV Criminalisation and the Cost of Stigma from the Africentric Lens” by Babirye Rita. In this incisive piece, Rita unpacks how laws that treat HIV as a criminal issue rather than a public health concern fracture community solidarity, reinforce stigma, and undermine access to care across Africa. From colonial legacies to contemporary legal frameworks, she calls for approaches grounded in care, dignity, and collective responsibility, rooted in African values and lived realities.

Resisting structural inequities in health data migration, addressing regulatory gaps in consumer-facing mHealth applications, advancing Pan-African harmonisation of digital health governance, and strengthening protections for data subjects across jurisdictions were central to discussions at the Health Apps Project International Conference 2026. The convening, held at the Chalsty Teaching and Conference Centre, School of Law, @WitsUniversity, brought together scholars, regulators, civil society actors, and technologists, with Afya na Haki in participation. Discussions examined how cross-border flows of health data are governed in Africa, particularly as digital health innovation continues to outpace regulatory safeguards and accountability mechanisms. Through our engagement, we reaffirm our commitment to shaping digital health governance frameworks that are grounded in human rights, responsive to African realities, and protective of data sovereignty. @afyanahakiug continues to advocate for approaches that ensure technological progress strengthens equity and justice rather than deepening existing inequalities across the continent.

Publication alert🔔. As digital health systems expand across the Global South, questions of who controls data, whose knowledge counts, and who ultimately benefits remain urgent. In this policy analysis, Ahaki-affiliated Authors critically examine Uganda’s digital health data ecosystem, advancing a case for governance frameworks that are inclusive, equitable, and decolonised. The article calls for approaches grounded in local realities, accountable to communities, and aligned with principles of health justice. This contribution adds to global debates on digital sovereignty, power, and ethics in health data systems, while offering practical pathways for reform in low and middle-income country contexts.

Honoured to represent @afyanahakiug at #SCoMRA2025 🇰🇪 — sharing insights from our ARMA programme on how evidence and technological justice can shape equitable regulation and strengthen local pharmaceutical manufacturing across Africa. 🌍💊 #HealthJustice #AMRH #PharmaSovereignty
Afya na Haki@afyanahakiug

At @afyanahakiug, we believe regulation is not only about rules; it is about justice, equity, and systems that serve people in Africa. Building on this principle, our Research Officer, @stuartlawrenc, will bring @afyanahakiug's evidence-based perspective to the forefront at #SCoMRA2025, presenting his analysis on how technological justice can shape and enable regulatory systems for local pharmaceutical manufacturing on the continent. He will also contribute to a session on leveraging oversight and investment to advance pharmaceutical sovereignty and engage policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders on strengthening regulatory frameworks to better support equitable health innovation and access.
