The African Centre for Global Health and Social Transformation (ACHEST) is an initiative promoted by a network of African and international leaders in health and development who have gained first-hand experience in planning and implementing health and development programs in Africa and at international level. It is an independent "Think Tank and Network".
There is now abundant evidence to show that past and current efforts at identifying and implementing solutions that are handed down from outside and are not rooted in the history and culture have faced some difficulties.

Ownership of these solutions by African countries and populations has repeatedly failed to take root and as the result such solutions have not achieved their full potential and, in some cases, they have done more harm than good. At continental and country level, ACHEST aspires to strategically promote and advocate for the use of well grounded knowledge and evidence to strengthen professionals and build institutional capacity that will provide transformational leadership to African communities, countries and the world; to apply constructive and targeted strategic communication at all levels to catalyse the needed behaviour change.To achieve this, ACHEST will forge strategic alliances and partnerships with individuals and organisations within Africa and around the world.
