The AHS Index is developed by the Brown University Pandemic Center, in partnership with NTI | bio and Economist impact, in collaboration with:

•  Science for Africa Foundation
• University of the Witwatersrand (Johannesburg, South Africa)
• University of Tunis El Manar (Tunis, Tunisia)

The AHS Index will evaluate a broad set of health security indicators, building on the GHS Index framework and will include a focused analysis of African priorities: preventing accidental and deliberate biological events (biosafety and biosecurity), detecting and reporting emerging outbreaks (biosurveillance), bolstering medical countermeasure development and deployment, assessing how climate change affects health security on the African continent and in subregions, and evaluating how the African continent’s five regions have built regional capacities to augment national health security infrastructure.
