AIHA’s team in Ethiopia participated in CSOs Week 2026 at the Addis International Convention Center March 5-7. The event brought together more than 120 civil society organizations (CSOs) from Ethiopia and Kenya.

According to Kidest Hailu, AIHA's Country Director for Ethiopia, "It was particularly rewarding to connect with new organizations, while also renewing relationships with long-standing partners and colleagues. These interactions fostered meaningful dialogue around shared priorities and challenges, and opened the door to exploring potential areas for collaboration."

She continued, "Overall, participation in the CSO Week strengthened AIHA’s network, enhanced visibility of our programs, and reaffirmed our commitment to partnership-driven approaches in advancing health and development outcomes in Ethiopia."

Did you know that more than half the world’s population still lacks access to essential health services? And a quarter of them face financial hardship when paying for health care out of their own pockets, often at the expense of food, education or housing?

That's why this year's theme for Universal Health Coverage Day is “Unaffordable Health Costs? We’re Sick of It!” The goal is to shine a spotlight on the lived experience behind these statistics, reminding government decision-makers that unaffordable health costs are making our communities poorer and sicker.

From primary healthcare and infection prevention in Ethiopia to HIV-related services and pandemic preparedness and response in the Philippines, AIHA is working toward our vision of a world with access to quality healthcare for everyone, everywhere!

Last week, AIHA celebrated the graduation of the first cohort of (EPSS) representatives to complete our (LIP), a six-month professional development course designed to train and empower health sector leaders.

As part of this initiative, AIHA organized a networking event that brought together program participants, alumni, coaches, and other key stakeholders. The event served as a platform for emerging leaders within EPSS to build meaningful professional connections, exchange ideas, and showcase their leadership journeys.

Intentionally designed to complement the LIP training curriculum by encouraging real-world engagement, the networking event aimed to strengthen professional relationships among EPSS staff across its regional hubs; provide access to experienced leaders and mentors in health systems management; and foster collaboration on practical challenges and capstone projects.
