The Second Africa Health Workforce Investment Forum will take place from 6-8 May 2026 in Accra, Ghana, bringing together heads of state, ministers, global health leaders, development partners, and private sector stakeholders
Organized by the World Health Organization in collaboration with the Government of Ghana and key partners, this high-level forum aims to accelerate implementation of the Africa Health Workforce Investment Charter, adopted at the first Forum in May 2024 by African leaders, in a landmark commitment to transform health workforce development across the continent
The May 2026 forum will assess progress, share country experiences and catalyse new commitments to turn the Charter’s vision into reality. The Forum provides a critical platform to transition from commitments to concrete investments in Africa’s health workforce — addressing the continent’s most pressing health system challenge
