African Health Policy Network

The African Health Policy Network (AHPN) is the leading policy organisation that influences policy on health and wellbeing issues that affect Africans in the UK.

They are a network of member organisations and individuals with a common goal to improve the health and wellbeing of the UK's African population. The AHPN acts as a focal point and catalyst for individuals and organisations in the African community, providing platforms to share learning and experience, to influence policy and to speak with a collective voice.

They do the following:

Policy - AHPN influences policy through research, campaigning, lobbying and advocating. They ensure that the voices of Africans in the UK are represented in national health and wellbeing policies

Programmes - AHPN runs various programmes throughout the year targeted at reducing health inequalities among the UKs African population. Most recently, AHPN ran a programme funded by Time to Change which aimed to tackle mental health stigma through working with churches and faith groups.

Membership - AHPN has a growing membership of over 200 mostly African community-based organisations who work at local, regional and national levels in the UK.

Research - Their policy position is based on evidence, assessments and the contribution of the African HIV Research Forum, which the AHPN hosts. Their other activities include a network of Africans living with and affected by HIV (Ffena), engaging with the media and faith work.

Get Involved - AHPN is regularly recruiting for policy interns, who work with our policy team and gain experience of policy, research, lobbying and campaigning.
