Amref Health Africa
About Company
Amref Health Africa is a non-governmental organisation headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya and founded in 1957. Our vision is lasting health change in Africa. We began partnering with communities to improve health in Uganda in the mid-1980s, and set up an office in Kampala in 1987.
Amref Health Africa partners with the Uganda Ministry of Health, Ministry of Water, Ministry of Education and Sports and corporate and non-profit organisations to improve access to health services across the country.
Amref Health Africa’s seminal projects in Uganda were related to providing health services and education to communities and local institutions acutely affected by the detrimental effects of ongoing civil and political unrest.
Amref Health Africa was founded in 1957 and has since grown to become the largest African-
based international health development organisation; currently implementing more than 180
programs, reaching more than 40 million people across 35 African countries; and a staff
complement of over 2,000. Headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, Amref Health Africa has offices in
ten countries in Africa – Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Guinea (Conakry), Kenya, Malawi, Senegal, South
Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. An additional eleven advocacy and fundraising offices are
located in Europe and North America.
Amref Health Africa is driven by its vision of ‘Lasting health change in Africa’ and its mission ‘To
catalyze and drive community-led and people-centred health systems while addressing social
determinants of health’. We believe that the power to transform Africa’s health lies within its
communities, and therefore strive to ensure that health systems are not only functional but that
communities are empowered to hold these systems accountable for the delivery of quality and
affordable health care.
The recently adopted corporate strategy 2023-2030 sets out a large aspiration for the offices in
Europe and North America to grow, especially their annual unearmarked funding contribution
to Headquarters. To lead this transformative change, a new department at Headquarters was
established, which is now looking for Executive and Office suppo
