About the Africa Health Power Initiative
Building resilient healthcare and community systems through clean energy
Who We Are
AHPI is a clean-energy health infrastructure initiative delivering reliable power to clinics, schools, and communities across Africa.
Led by the Tanzania Red Cross Society in partnership with experienced technical and investment partners, AHPI replaces unreliable power with resilient, life-saving energy systems.
We transform clean energy into permanent public infrastructure that saves lives and strengthens communities.
Delivering reliable power to frontline healthcare
The Energy Gap in Healthcare
Energy insecurity is one of the greatest hidden barriers to development across Africa.
Daily Power Cuts
Clinics lose power daily, interrupting childbirth, emergency care, and placing patients at constant risk.
Expensive Diesel
Diesel generators are expensive, unreliable, and compromise vaccine storage and medical equipment.
System Failure
Vaccines spoil, emergency care fails, and communities remain trapped in cycles of vulnerability.
These challenges are interconnected:
Schools rely on smoky, unhealthy cooking methods
Communities lack clean water access
Farmers depend on costly diesel pumps
Public services constrained by volatile fuel supply
Fragmented solutions fail to solve them. AHPI was created to address this gap through one integrated platform.
Our Integrated Approach
AHPI unifies healthcare delivery, education resilience, food security, climate action, and innovative finance into one platform.
Clean Energy
Medical-grade renewable energy systems with 24/7 reliability, digital monitoring, and long-term maintenance.
Health System Resilience
Protecting vaccine cold chains, enabling emergency services, and ensuring safe childbirth and patient care.
Climate & Cost Efficiency
Replacing diesel and biomass with clean infrastructure, reducing emissions and operational costs.
Scalable Finance
Blended finance model combining donor, philanthropic, CSR, and climate finance for rapid deployment.
A systematic, structured approach built for permanence
By unifying these systems, AHPI turns energy from a constraint into a foundation for development, delivering solutions that last for decades.
From Pilot to Continental Platform
Continental scale, local impact
Pilot Launch in Tanzania
Starting in Kigoma region, deploying integrated clean energy systems to primary healthcare facilities and communities.
Expansion Across East Africa
Scaling proven models to Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi through regional partnerships and national health systems.
Long-Term Continental Rollout
Building permanent infrastructure across Africa, transforming how frontline services are powered for generations.
This section communicates scale and ambition without hype, grounded in systematic deployment and long-term commitment.
Delivered Through Trusted Partnerships
AHPI combines humanitarian leadership with technical execution and donor-grade governance.
HUMANITARIAN LEADERSHIP
Tanzania Red Cross Society
Leading humanitarian organization with deep community trust and healthcare delivery expertise.
TECHNICAL PARTNERS
Energy & Engineering
Experienced renewable energy specialists delivering medical-grade systems and long-term maintenance.
DELIVERY PARTNERS
Regional Networks
Local implementation partners ensuring cultural alignment and sustainable community ownership.
Built for Scale, Permanence, and Accountability
AHPI operates as the impact and delivery arm of the Africa Green Transition PPP Fund (AGTPF), supported by a dedicated Grant Sub-Compartment that mobilizes donor, philanthropic, CSR, and climate finance.
This structure enables rapid deployment in high-need settings, donor-grade governance and reporting, blended finance with institutional partners, and long-term ownership of public assets.
AHPI is not a charity program. It is an infrastructure platform built for continental scale.
