Doing Development the African Way. 1+1=3,4 ...
We are young Africans who know that people, health and the environment are not separate conversations but the same. We stand for a way of living and acting that is sustainable and inclusive, for all.
What We Have Been Up To Lately
This is what integration looks like in practice. How We are showing up in communities, policy rooms and digital spaces to move PHE forward.
National PHE Network Meeting
We sat down as Kenya PHE Partners, built the Kenya PHE Strategic Plan 2023–2027 together, and came back to do what the plan called for; which was to share lessons and learn from each other. Lessons from the 58th Session of the Commission on Population and Development (UN CPD58) in New York, 2025.
PHE Advocacy Reflections and Taking Stock Together
Kenya's PHE stakeholders and actors taking stock of the advocacy wins and progress,sharing challenges encountered and building on the best practices that are already working across our different integrated initiatives. Pausing and reflecting before we move on.
#PHECycle Campaign : The Mathematics of Integrated Development.
Young PHE champions from East and Southern Africa in conversation about the PHE concept as a way of life. The #PHECycle is a pan-African campaign to put systemic and holistic thinking at the heart of how young African leaders understand, advocate for and drive development decisions in their communities and beyond.
Integrated Development
In our communities, nothing exists in isolation. When the environment suffers, health suffers and in turn, families and futures suffer. We tackle challenges as interconnected systems and not isolated problems, for more effective, holistic solutions rooted in African wisdom.
Population: People Are the Centre
When communities grow without access to quality reproductive health, education or economic opportunities, the pressure falls on the land, the water and the health system all at once. Population dynamics do not exist in isolation, they shape everything around them.
Healthy People = A Thriving Planet
Where quality health services are scarce, families and communities make harder choices about land, water and survival. But, when people are well, they can protect their environment, plan their futures and invest in what sustains them.
The Environment is the Foundation
Clean water, fertile land and stable ecosystems are not just environmental concerns but also health infrastructure. The first people to feel environmental degradation are always the most vulnerable. Therefore, protecting it is the very act of inclusive development.
The whole point is that none of these exist alone and it is why we work the way we do. Solving one problem at a time doesn't necessarily solve the problem.

What Our Community is Doing
We are taking PHE conversations online through webinars, campaigns and discussions, to reach as many youth as possible.
Young people also belong in policy spaces and we are proving it. Our policy contributions are shaping sustainable PHE strategies across Africa.

Connecting as PHE Champions and building networks because we understand the power of community in building resilient systems.
Research insights are driving scalable PHE solutions in East Africa. We don't just talk about the problems. We study them, document them and build from what we find.
