Africa carries a disproportionate share of the global disease burden while facing a severe shortage of healthcare workers and constrained government capacity to deliver complex health programmes. Strengthening healthcare systems therefore depends not only on clinical solutions, but also on well-capacitated public-sector teams that can effectively lead, manage and sustain change at scale.
AMP Health partners with governments and other mission-driven organizations to strengthen leadership, management and governance capabilities of public-sector health teams – the backbone of effective healthcare delivery. Working alongside Ministries and other implementing agencies, AMP Health provides tailored support ranging from short-term strategic engagements to longer-term embedded partnerships, helping teams to strengthen coordination, use data more effectively, improve program execution, and embed lasting institutional change. Since 2015, AMP has partnered with 45 health teams across 18 countries – covering English-, French- and Portuguese-speaking countries. While rooted in health systems strengthening, AMP is increasingly working in intersectional areas including disease surveillance, health innovation, adolescent health and wellbeing, and climate.
We partner with AMP Health as part of LGT Venture Philanthropy’s healthcare strategy, which is founded on the principle that governments should be the primary funders and implementers of community and primary health solutions at scale. Supporting actors such as AMP Health enhances the management capacity of governments to adopt and replicate proven interventions on a larger scale. Our engagement with AMP is focused on three areas:
programmes supported across 9 countries
CHWs trained on surveillance, malaria, and RMNCAH in CAR, Malawi, and Mauritania
children vaccinated against polio in Central African Republic (CAR) through AMP supported campaign
individuals trained through AMP Health Partnership
LGT Venture Philanthropy’s system-wide approach is an excellent example of the type of commitment required to strengthen health systems at scale.
