Our Impact
Dear Colleagues, Friends, and Partners,
Every day, health workers across Africa strive to serve their communities, often despite limited resources, conflict, or crisis. Behind the scenes, data systems quietly guide their decisions, inform life-saving responses, and help ensure no one is left behind.
Today, these systems are under threat and urgently
need our collective support.
With global funding for health information systems shrinking and priorities shifting, many countries risk losing the tools needed to protect their people.
When data systems weaken, the consequences are serious: delayed responses, missed outbreaks, inefficient use of resources, and communities at
greater risk.

CESMEL Health is committed to protecting and strengthening the systems that support health decisions in Africa. We believe in local leadership, solutions designed for and by the people they serve, and the importance of data that reflects real needs.
We are not just filling a gap-we are helping shape a future where African-led data systems are valued and sustained.
Join us in investing in this vision, collaborating across borders, and ensuring health systems have the data they need to serve everyone, even in times of crisis.
