Globally, nurses make up nearly 60% of the health workforce (37% in Africa), and in many low-income settings, they deliver 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝟵𝟬% 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀. Africa continues to face one of the world’s largest health workforce shortages, with the World Health Organization projecting a shortage of more than 6 million health workers by 2030. At the same time, brain drain continues to place immense pressure on already stretched systems, with one in every ten doctors and nurses trained in Africa now working abroad,— with 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 $𝟭𝟴𝟰,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀.

This is not just a workforce challenge. It is a financing and equity challenge.

This International Nurses Day, we asked nurses what they envision for the future of the nursing profession in the next decade. They spoke of Stronger, better-funded primary health care systems. A future where nurses and midwives are better supported, fairly compensated, continuously trained, digitally empowered, with strong career pathways to grow.

Today, we also celebrate the incredible work and leadership of the Nurse and Midwife Alliance (NMA), a fiscal sponsored partner of Financing Alliance for Health. We are proud to support their mission.

To every nurse and midwife. Thank you for showing up every single day for communities, families, and health systems. Your work keeps health systems alive. investing in nurses is investing in stronger, more resilient health systems.

Leaving you with some happy go lucky moments as we waltz into the weekend. ✨

At Financing Alliance for Health, we often say that our greatest asset is our people and our Q1 Review in-person meeting was a beautiful reminder of exactly that. We took time as a team to pause, reflect, and reconnect as we reviewed the first quarter of the year. From celebrating wins, to learning from challenges, to reenergising ourselves for the months ahead, it was a moment to remember why we do what we do.

Behind every meeting, strategy, report, and reform are passionate people who genuinely care about strengthening health systems and improving lives across Africa. And honestly, we could not be more grateful for this brilliant, energetic, thoughtful, and mission driven team.

What does a reimagined health system for Africa look like?
For Mpuma Kamanga, it starts with one big shift: moving away from health systems that rely on out-of-pocket payments and unpredictable external financing, and towards systems where public financing is predictable, adequate, and actually reaches the frontlines.

𝗔𝘀 𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁:
“𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦.” Speaking at the sidelines of the World Health Summit Regional Meeting 2026 in Nairobi.

Across the continent, more than half of people still cannot access the health services they need. And as external donor financing declines, leaders are being pushed to make difficult but necessary decisions to protect health systems through stronger domestic financing and smarter use of what already exists.

This is why this conversation matters so much right now. Universal Health Coverage will not happen by ambition alone. It happens when financing is reliable, and when funds move all the way to the frontlines.

𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲?

If so, come connect with our team and let’s talk about what it really takes to finance strong, resilient and government‑led health systems across Africa.

This year, 𝗗𝗿. 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝗨𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗲 and 𝗗𝗿. 𝗠𝗽𝘂𝗺𝗮 𝗞𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮 are representing Financing Alliance for Health, and are keen to engage on sustainable financing for primary health care, community health systems, public financial management reform, and domestic resource mobilisation for universal health coverage.

The theme of this year’s Summit — 𝘙𝘦𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘈𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢’𝘴 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘚𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘴 — feels especially timely. Across the continent, more than half of people still cannot access the health services they need, and Africa faces some of the lowest public health spending globally. At the same time, donor financing is declining, while the financing gap for universal health coverage is projected to reach $𝟯𝟳𝟭 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗯𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟯𝟬. Africa has the lowest public health spending globally, with most countries allocating well 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝟱% 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗗𝗣 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵, far short of what is needed for universal health coverage.

That’s why this conversation matters so much to us. Strong primary health care and community health systems are the foundation of universal health coverage, but they only work when financing is predictable, public systems are strengthened, and governments are supported to lead.

We’re excited to connect, learn, and move from commitment to impact.

“𝗜𝗻 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮, 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵.”
A powerful and honest, maybe even controversial reflection from our Co‑CEO Soleine Scotney on the challenge of scaling social innovations — especially those rooted at the grassroots.
Africa has no shortage of ideas that work. The real problem is scale.
Too often, promising innovations succeed at a small level but never make it into the systems that could take them nationwide. Why? Because the bridge is broken:
philanthropy and private actors fund and deliver innovations,
governments hold the mandate and the budgets to scale and fundamentally know what needs to be funded,
but the two need more alignment.
As Soleine puts it, Ministries of Health and Finance are the only purchasers of scale — yet funding rarely reaches the frontline, public financial management systems are still too rigid, and public and social actors often speak different languages.
The solution isn’t choosing one over the other.
It’s finding the sweet spot where government, philanthropy, private sector, and social entrepreneurs work together — focused on outcomes, resourcing the frontline, and paying for what works.
This is the conversation we’re bringing to Skoll.
And this is the systems change needed to move from pilots to impact.

Sizwile Sibindi spoke to the realities of 𝗳𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 and why it matters for the grassroots‑led organisations we work with every day.

Globally, only ~2–7% of humanitarian funding reaches local and national actors directly.
For grassroots African NGOs, less than 1% of international funding reaches them directly, slowing down potential progress.
