From December 3-5, the Capacity Project’s Ummuro Adano participated in the Foundation Meeting of the Africa Health Leadership and Management Network (AHLMN), held in Nairobi, and contributed to the final conference press statement.

The meeting brought together representatives from 33 African and international institutions to agree upon and ratify a constitution to formally establish the network.

The AHLMN aims to expand technical assistance resources for health management and human resources development by pooling and sharing human and technical resources; to facilitate intraregional integration and exchange of knowledge, services and expertise; to agree on benchmarks and standards for improving the performance of members; and to serve as a forum for collective advocacy for resources to support health service delivery.
