01 — Overview
What we publish.
Our publication programme is being established. The work below reflects our active pipeline.
Rigorous, African-focused, openly shared knowledge — from verified evidence to practical guidance.
Evidence-Driven
Every output rests on graded, independently verified evidence — and says honestly how strong that evidence is.
African-Focused
We prioritise African research and contexts, so findings reflect local realities rather than imported assumptions.
Openly Shared
As a public-interest body, we publish for educational, research, and policy use — not behind paywalls.
02 — Featured
Flagship work.
The two resources that anchor everything else we publish.
Knowledge Base · Open Access
The African Child Health Evidence Vault
A structured, continuously audited evidence base across six pillars — graded for quality and weighted toward African research.
