Mission and Vision

Our mission is to strengthen health systems in Southern Africa through inclusive, high-quality, and low-cost research that responds to real-world challenges. We are committed to building research capacity, empowering emerging scholars, and translating evidence into action that improves lives and promotes equity across the region.


We envision a future where research is locally driven, widely accessible, and deeply connected to the communities it serves. By fostering collaboration across borders and disciplines, we aim to develop a vibrant network of researchers, practitioners, and partners working together to create lasting impact in health and development.
