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.
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 by advancing evidence-based advocacy for the Loss and Damage Fund, with a focus on tangible outcomes for vulnerable communities in the Global South.
Health
We advocate for a strengthen health systems to withstand climate shocks and pollution, while ensuring care and support for climate refugees and survivors, irrespective of gender, age, or creed.
Gender Justice
We defend the rights of women, children and youth and amplify their voices in local, regional and global decision-making spaces, nationally, regionally and globally.
Child Protection
We engage children as partners in reducing risks of climate induced hunger, displacement, and harm exacerbated by fossil fuel dependence and climate change.
Fossil Fuels are not the solution, it’s not the answer to Eastern Africa energy shortages. We have an abundance of clean energy, with over 1000% potential.
We must explore clean energy for our communities to ensure we build for the future.
