On Day 3 of #ECHAfrica25, Clive M. Mutunga delivered an oral presentation titled: “Advancing Health Equity in Climate Adaptation and Finance: Policy Analysis Across Sub-Saharan Africa.” The presentation shared findings from CHED Solutions’ regional analysis on how health equity is reflected within National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and climate finance proposals across Sub-Saharan Africa. It underscored that when health and climate agendas align, communities thrive — and highlighted the need for increased investment in health-inclusive climate finance, stronger cross-sector collaboration, and locally led approaches that generate co-benefits for both health and climate resilience. CHED Solutions remains committed to advancing integrated, evidence-based solutions that bridge health, climate, and finance to build a more resilient and equitable Africa. 🌍 #ECHAfrica25 #ClimateHealth #HealthEquity #ClimateFinance #Adaptation #AfricaResilience #CHEDSolutions Amref Health Africa Climate Health African Network for Collaboration and EngagementAfrica Research and Impact Network.

On Day Two of #ECHAfrica25, our digital poster on Population, Health, Environment & Development (PHED), authored by Clive M. Mutunga, is now live. The #PHED approach reflects what we’ve seen across Africa: locally led solutions strengthen both people’s health and climate resilience. 🌿 From Ethiopia’s forest landscapes to the Lake Victoria Basin and Madagascar’s coastal communities, integration delivers real impact where it matters most—building stronger, healthier, and more resilient communities. We’re pleased to share this experience and to learn from others advancing #LocallyLed, #HealthInclusive #ClimateAction across the continent.

A proud moment for us as our Founder & Principal Consultant, Clive M. Mutunga, represents CHED Solutions at the Pan-African Conference on Environment, Climate Change and Health: Science to Policy held in Nairobi, Kenya, October 21-24, 2025. We are contributing two key presentations advancing climate-resilient health systems across Africa: ✅ Oral Presentation: Advancing Health Equity in Climate Adaptation & Finance by exploring how African nations are integrating health into climate policies and finance, and how we can unlock climate funds for health equity. ✅ Poster Presentation: Population, Health, Environment & Development (PHED) showcasing lessons from Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Madagascar & Niger on linking health, conservation, and livelihoods for sustainable impact. As we engage with policymakers, researchers, and partners, our focus remains clear: locally led adaptation, climate-health financing, and inclusive resilience that leaves no one behind. #ClimateHealth #HealthEquity #ClimateFinance #Adaptation #PHED #AfricaResilience #SustainableDevelopment #CHEDSolutions #ECHAfrica25

In this week’s PHED Projects Spotlight, we feature one of the world’s most celebrated models of integration: Velondriake—a Locally Managed Marine Area (LMMA) in southwest Madagascar co-created by Blue Ventures, local communities, and MSI Choices. But this is more than one project—it’s a movement. Madagascar’s PHED legacy also includes Voahary Salama and the Madagascar Green Health Coalition, who helped pioneer integrated coastal development linking marine conservation, SRHR, and community resilience. Outcomes from Velondriake: 🔹 Restored fish stocks & marine biodiversity 🔹 Expanded access to family planning in remote villages 🔹 Greater women’s agency in natural resource governance 🔹 Resilient livelihoods through aquaculture & ecotourism Spotlight #5: https://lnkd.in/dJ4ESAak Blue Ventures, MSI Reproductive Choices UK Vik Mohan, Ngunjiri Edith, Yvette Ribiera, Nantenaina Randria #PHED #Velondriake #BlueVentures #MSIReproductiveChoices #SRHR #MarineConservation #PHEMadagascar #ClimateHealth #GenderEquality #CHEDSolutions
