Franco West Africa
Women in Global Health Francophone West Africa was formed after an initiative that profiled Francophone women in global health. We noticed that Francophone women, especially those from Africa, had less involvement in this movement for promoting women leadership in global health, despite most global health issues being present in Africa.
Women in Global Health Francophone West Africa is hosted by Equilibres & Populations.
Franco West Africa Chapter
is working to:
- Support the development of skills of current and future members in leadership, empowerment and networking.
- Carry out activities or projects related to their field of competence and assure the involvement of women experts in population and global health to the international community.
Increase the visibility, participation, and leadership of Francophone West African women in global health by creating a platform that includes their voices, strengthens their engagement, and promotes gender equitable leadership across the region.

- Samiratou Ouedrago co-founder and lead
