Who Are We?

AFGH is a broad European network of NGOs advocating for Europe to play a more proactive role in enabling developing countries to meet the Health Millennium Development Goals by 2015.

Established in 2006 by 15 organizations under the leadership of ActionAid, today Action for Global Health is active in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK and Brussels and counts with an increased membership of almost 30 NGOs, which is growing every day.

As a network of development and health organisations we bring a unique blend of expertise, collectively raising awareness on the need to reach the health MDGs and promote the right to health in developing countries. We have established strong links with decision-makers and international agencies during our 4 years of working together.

Our main actions take place in Europe, particularly Brussels and EU member states, targeting the EU institutions and key member state governments. We develop policy analysis and research, engaging with other civil society groups both in Brussels and throughout the EU, to build advocacy alliances. We reach out to decision-makers and the media so as to influence EU decisions on global health and highlight the need for action to meet the health MDGs. Our messages and our policy expertise are built through research in Europe and in developing countries, where we benefit from the expertise and evidence provided by Southern partners of our member organisations.
