African Institute for Health and Development

The African Institute for Health and Development (AIHD) is a non-governmental organization based in Nairobi, Kenya, established in 2004 to improve health and social development across Africa. The institute specializes in conducting evidence-based research, policy advocacy, and community-based interventions, with a primary focus on non-communicable diseases (NCDs), maternal and child health, and nutrition. AIHD works closely with governments and international partners to translate research findings into actionable public health policies and programs. Their expertise extends to health systems strengthening and addressing the social determinants of health in urban informal settlements. By empowering communities and providing technical support to policymakers, AIHD aims to mitigate the double burden of infectious and chronic diseases in the region.
