Africa Frontline First is a collaborative initiative dedicated to advancing health, health security, and economic recovery across Africa. The organization recognizes the vital role of community health programs in saving lives and creating livelihoods. Unfortunately, community health workers often face challenges such as underpayment, inadequate training, and disconnection from formal health systems. Africa Frontline First aims to address these issues by catalyzing innovative financial solutions and supporting national governments in building robust community health infrastructure.

By 2030, Africa Frontline First aims to deploy 200,000 Community Health Workers in 10 countries. These workers play a crucial role in delivering lifesaving care to people's doorsteps, detecting and responding to epidemics like Ebola and COVID-19, promoting healthy behaviors and practices, and connecting communities to the formal health system. Their work improves access, uptake, and overall health outcomes.

Africa Frontline First envisions a legacy of robust and resilient primary healthcare systems with community health workers at its core. Through collaboration and bold reforms, the organization seeks to build back better for the COVID-19 response and beyond.
