Five interconnected research themes driving climate-health resilience across Eastern and Southern Africa
Strengthening responsive, inclusive, and interoperable climate-health data systems to inform evidence-based decision-making, predictive modeling, early warning, and surveillance of climate-sensitive diseases.
Building a skilled, diverse, fit-for-purpose health workforce with surge capacity to respond to climate-related health risks and shocks, ensuring inclusive, equitable, and timely health service delivery.
Examining costs of climate-sensitive diseases, economic trade-offs of action versus inaction, innovative financing, and governance models for cross-sectoral coordination in Eastern and Southern Africa.
Enhancing data availability, interoperability, and security to enable predictive modeling, early warning, and surveillance, equipping public institutions for proactive and inclusive climate-health action.
Strengthening health systems through gender-responsive research, integrating economic, political, and social factors with a focus on advancing women's access to primary health care and climate-resilient services.
Driving measurable impact across the climate-health nexus
Increase availability of intersectional, disaggregated climate-health data for integrated program design.
Equip policymakers with newly available disaggregated, gender responsive, intersectional climate-health data for evidence-based policies and program design.
Improve capacities of individuals, organizations and networks in assessing, designing, informing and implementing climate-resilient health systems approaches.
Enhance health systems' surge capacity and prepare health systems' workforces to respond to climate-induced health risks and shocks at community and primary health care settings.
Increase the application and reach of generated evidence by strategically positioning efforts at subnational, national, and regional levels for sustained impact.
