Donors and Partners
Sustainability
Africa Health Placements has been in operation since 2005, and has delivered consistent increases in performance, year on year. (See diagram below and Reports and Statistics page for more information).
We do not work in isolation, however. In order to keep working effectively, we need to maintain close relationships with our network of donors and working partners.
Our main sources of funding are ongoing donations from PEPFAR, The Atlantic Philanthropies, Discovery, Anglo American and De Beers. We also partially support ourselves through for‐profit recruitment projects recruiting locums for government and civil society health care facilities. The money from these activities is used to subsidise non‐profit operations.
Our working partners include:
-
Various government Health Ministries. Regular meetings are held with senior officials in the national and regional departments. Our assistance to various Ministries may extend to advising on the streamlining of recruitment and registration processes, creating internal capacity by placing AHP staff within key departments and working in parallel with government on recruitment and orientation.
-
The Health Professions Council of South Africa: We share common board members with the HPCSA and have two of our own staff working in the HPCSA to assist in the registration process.
-
A host of other partners, each performing a critical role in bringing health workers to where they are needed most.
