Strengthening Institutions. Strengthening Systems. Delivering Impact.

Supporting Health Initiatives (SHI) is an African-led implementation platform that helps governments, regulators, regional institutions and development partners turn strategy into action.

We strengthen institutions, build system capability and provide the coordination and implementation capacity needed to deliver sustainable results across Africa.

Our work spans regulatory systems strengthening, health systems strengthening, programme implementation and institutional development, supporting African-led solutions that improve access, strengthen resilience and accelerate impact.

SHI maintains its own leadership, strategy and programme portfolio and is hosted by the Wits Health Consortium (WHC) through its Shared Services Centre, WHC provides fiduciary, compliance, financial and administrative services, enabling SHI to focus on implementation, partnerships and impact.

SHI is creating the conditions for African-led success.
