The Kofi Annan Global Health Leadership Programme was launched by African Union Commission under the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) in partnership with the Kofi Annan Foundation on 25 May 2020, after approval by the Governing Board of Africa CDC in March 2018. The aim of the yearly based programme is to support aspirational Public Health Leaders (Fellows) from Africa in acquiring advanced skills and competencies to strategize, manage and lead public health programmes who will in turn mentor and develop the next generation of public health leaders for the continent.

The first cohort of the Fellowship programme was launched on 7th April 2021 and consisted of a total of 20 fellows from 14 countries.

IOM took part in a lecture on Migration health prepared and delivered by IOM Regional Migration Health Thematic Health Specialist Dr. Michela Martini on January 26, 2022.
