ACHCGA
The African Center for Health, Climate & Gender Justice Alliance (ACHCGA) is a women-led non-governmental organization committed to amplifying African and women’s voices, in all their diversities, including Indigenous peoples, community groups, and grassroots movements, to protect the planet, strengthen health systems, and advance gender justice. ACHCGA proactively supports the documentation of climate-induced Loss and Damage and advocates for the timely disbursement of the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD), an operating entity under the UNFCCC financial mechanism, to address escalating and irreversible climate impacts affecting vulnerable communities in developing countries. ACHCGA works through multi-stakeholder consortia, to contribute high-quality, impactful research at the climate–health–gender nexus.
Our Mission
We seek to ignite a women- and children-led movement that ensures a healthy planet and a fair future by tackling the connected challenges of climate change, health, and gender justice.
Climate Action
We advocate for a just transition while advocating for and gathering evidence for the Loss and Damage Fund in the Global South.
Health
We work to build strong health systems that can handle climate shocks, pollution, and support climate refugees and survivors, regardless of gender, age, or creed.
Gender justice
We champion the rights of women, children and youth and amplify their voices in decision making spaces, nationally, regionally and globally.
Child protection
We work with children to protect them from risks like hunger, displacement, and harm made worse by fossil fuels and climate change.
