The supreme decision-making body comprising representatives from all member organizations. Sets strategic direction, elects Board members annually, and forms the democratic foundation of the coalition.
Provides strategic oversight and fiduciary accountability. Elected by the General Assembly with clear term limits, ensuring democratic and mission-aligned leadership at every level of the coalition.
Distinguished scientists, health policy experts, and innovation leaders providing independent technical guidance — ensuring CHReaD's positions are scientifically grounded and evidence-based at all times.
Manages day-to-day operations, programme implementation, and member coordination. Hosted at AMREF Health Africa since 2020, fully accountable to the Board and serving the entire coalition membership.
The values that guide every decision, every process, and every interaction within the CHReaD coalition.
All decisions, finances, and activities are documented and accessible to members through annual reports, open communications, and published audit results at every level.
Leadership is accountable to the member assembly through regular reporting, independent audit processes, and member-driven feedback mechanisms across the coalition.
Diverse representation across geography, sector, and organizational size in all governance structures. Every member organization has an equal voice in coalition decisions.
All governance decisions anchored to CHReaD's core vision: saving lives through health research and development — not institutional interest or political pressure.
One of Africa's leading health development organizations, providing operational infrastructure and credibility to the coalition's work across the region.
Visit AMREFSince 2020, CHReaD's Secretariat has been hosted by AMREF Health Africa, marking a significant transition in the coalition's localization journey. This move, guided by a transition committee formed in 2019, strengthened CHReaD's identity as a truly African-led coalition.
The Secretariat manages day-to-day operations, programme implementation, and member coordination across the region, fully accountable to the Board of Directors and serving the entire coalition membership.
