Tracking Health Security Progress and Building Resilience in Africa

The world is shifting from a period of urgent health actions to one of vast growing neglect, even as biological threats continue to rise. Against this backdrop, the 2026 Africa Health Security Index shows great progress has been made across the continent – but substantial gaps remain.

Join NTI, the Brown University Pandemic Center, Economist Enterprise, and the Science for Africa Foundation for a discussion of the findings and recommendations of the 2026 Africa Health Security (AHS) Index, an independent assessment of health security capacities in Africa.

This webinar will convene global experts and policymakers to discuss how the AHS Index can shape policy decision-making and drive meaningful action to strengthen health security capacities and improve preparedness for future epidemics and pandemics.

The AHS Index will be published ahead of the event. Register now and also be notified when the Index is available online.

Additional speakers to be announced.

The AHS Index is independent assessment of epidemic and pandemic preparedness, with a focus on African priorities. It assesses the 54 countries of Africa using publicly available data and a standardized analytical framework. This new Index will enable African leaders to measure, finance, and advance improvements in health security and create an evidence-based accountability framework to track progress toward better epidemic and pandemic preparedness and response.
