The African Center for Health, Climate & Gender Justice Alliance (ACHCGA) is a women-led non-profit organization uniting African women in all their diversities, Indigenous peoples, community groups, and grassroots movements to protect our planet, safeguard health systems, and advance gender justice. With women producing 60–80% of Africa’s food, yet being disproportionately affected by climate shocks, ACHCGA grounds its work in evidence, community knowledge, and lived realities. We elevate the voices of farmers, women, girls, and Indigenous communities whose livelihoods are threatened as climate disasters increase in frequency and severity, having risen by over 40% in the last decade across the continent.

ACHCGA actively advocates for increased financing for Loss and Damage, ensuring that Kenya and other African states receive fair compensation for climate impacts they did not cause. We are also pushing for a just transition that accelerates renewable energy, protects health, and secures climate-resilient livelihoods while opposing the expansion of fossil fuels, which continue to drive air pollution responsible for 1 million premature deaths annually in Africa. Through policy engagement, movement building, and community-driven research, we work to secure a climate-just future where African states can thrive sustainably and equitably.
