ACHCGA
The African Center for Health, Climate & Gender Justice Alliance (ACHCGA) is a women-led non-governmental organization that amplifies the voices of African women in all their diversity, including indigenous peoples, community groups, and grassroots movements, to protect the planet, fortify health systems, and advance gender justice. ACHCGA actively supports the documentation of climate-induced loss and damage, climate- induced diseases, and climate- induced GBV and femicide, and advocates for the timely disbursement of the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD), a dedicated operating entity under the UNFCCC financial mechanism, to address the intensifying and irreversible climate impacts affecting vulnerable communities in developing countries. ACHCGA lives to produce rigorous, actionable research at the intersection of climate, health, and gender through multi-stakeholder consortia.
