Collaboration is important for Impact Impact in Africa While international partners and donors play a vital Role in supporting health interventions across the African Continent, Africa's health priorities, policies ans research must be locally led. African governments should also explore innovative financing mechanisms that drive up domestic financing for health to diversify funding sources for Health. All stakeholders must work to dismantle the systemic biases within global health. Collaboration across sectors and geographies is also indispensable in the pursuit of global health equity. International organizations, governments, academia, civil society, and the private sector all have a role to play in sharing best practices ans directing resources where the need is greatest. South -South Cooperation, in particular, can facilitate knowledge-sharing and foster greater collaboration among countries facing similar resource constraints and health challenges. The year 2030 is just around the corner and questions still remain about our ability to teach the SDGs which, while not legally binding, require African governments, researchers and scientists to take responsibility. African led and supported research initiatives, conferences and platforms are crucial for understanding health disparities and designing effective interventions. By harnessing the collective will of all stakeholders, we can dismantle the barriers that have hindered Africa's health progress and usher in a healthier, more equitable Africa.
