Africa Advocacy Foundation

Africa Advocacy Foundation (AAF) is a UK-based community health organization and registered charity dedicated to addressing health disparities among African and other minority ethnic communities. The foundation operates primarily in the fields of infectious diseases, specifically HIV and viral hepatitis, where it provides advocacy, community-based screening, and linkage-to-care services. AAF plays a critical role in the healthcare ecosystem by facilitating access to treatment and participating in policy development to improve health outcomes for marginalized populations. Beyond infectious diseases, the organization is a prominent advocate against female genital mutilation (FGM) and provides comprehensive support for sexual and mental health. For life science stakeholders, AAF serves as a vital community partner for health promotion, patient engagement, and reducing barriers to specialized medical care.
