2026-2030 Five-Year Strategic Plan

RESILIENT 2030

AHDA's Five-Year Strategic Plan (2026-2030) responds to a changing health and development landscape characterised by tightening health financing, increasing climate-related risks, and persistent inequities in access to quality services and social-economic constraints.

3 Thematic Pillars
6 Strategic Objectives
5 Year Roadmap
4+ SDGs Addressed

Strategy Overview

Building healthy, developed, and resilient communities across Tanzania and Africa through integrated, community-centered solutions

Strategic Context

Communities across Africa face a convergence of health and development pressures, including infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, climate-related shocks, gender disparities, and socio-economic inequalities. Climate change is reshaping disease patterns and increasing vulnerability while constrained health financing and workforce gaps strain primary health care.

Climate-related health risks increasing
Limited community participation in decision-making
Health system fragility and resource constraints
Aligned with SDGs, AU Agenda 2063 & Tanzania Vision 2050
Community Resilience in Action

Thematic Priorities (2026-2030)

Our comprehensive framework for building climate-resilient communities

01

Climate and Health

Strengthening climate-responsive health action through community preparedness, risk reduction, and climate-informed decision-making.

  • Community climate-health resilience programmes
  • Green and smart healthcare practice
  • Climate-health storytelling for advocacy
  • Early warning and preparedness systems
  • Policy influence through community evidence
02

Community Engagement

Empowering communities, youth, and women to co-create solutions and strengthen accountability for service delivery and policy.

  • Youth and women leadership development
  • School and faith-based platforms
  • Social accountability mechanisms
  • Peer support networks for mental health
03

Health Systems Strengthening

Improving primary health care delivery through stronger community health workforce capacity, better use of data, and practical innovations.

  • CHW capacity building and advocacy
  • Service quality improvement initiatives
  • Digital tools for community health
  • Oxygen Sustenance Initiative (OSI)

Strategic Objectives (2026 - 2030)

Measurable objectives guiding our journey toward resilience

Objective 1

Climate-resilient health action and preparedness

By 2030, strengthen community and health system capacity to anticipate, prevent and respond to climate-related health risks by integrating climate risk screening, preparedness planning, and community early-action mechanisms into priority programme areas and target geographies.

Objective 2

Community leadership, inclusion and accountability

By 2030, expand community, youth and women leadership to co-create solutions and strengthen accountability for service delivery and policy, using structured community platforms, dialogue mechanisms, and social accountability tools.

Objective 3

Stronger primary health care and community health workforce

By 2030, improve access, quality and continuity of primary health care through strengthened CHW capacity, supportive supervision, referral linkages, and practical service-improvement initiatives at community and facility levels.

Objective 4

Evidence generation, learning and influence

By 2030, generate and translate credible evidence into action by implementing a defined research and learning agenda, producing decision-ready products (briefs, scorecards, stories), and influencing policies, guidelines and investments at local and national levels.

Objective 5

Digital systems, innovation and responsible AI

By 2030, deploy and scale digital tools and data systems (and responsible AI where appropriate) to improve planning, service delivery, community engagement, performance tracking and decision-making, while ensuring data protection and user adoption.

Objective 6

Sustainable financing and partnerships for scale

By 2030, diversify and increase organisational resources and partnerships to sustain operations and scale impact, through multi-year funding, public-private partnerships, strategic alliances, and stronger internal systems for grants, compliance and financial management.
