Africa Portal

The Africa Portal, part of the larger Africa Initiative project, is an online resource for policy-related issues in Africa, covering climate change, food security, energy and health, among other areas. It is published by the Centre for International Governance Innovation; Makerere University, Uganda; and the South African Institute of International Affairs. The website offers an open access publications library with more than 3,000 books, journals, and digital documents available online or to download. It also publishes opinion and analysis on current issues, a directory of experts on African policy, and announcements including events and grants.

AIDScience

This HIV/AIDS web portal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (publisher of Science) ceased operating in December 2003, but remains an important archive of documents relating to AIDS prevention, treatment and vaccine development. The International AIDS Vaccine Initiative has taken over the role of reviewing and highlighting recently published scientific literature.

Global Health Action

Global Health Action is a free, online, peer-reviewed journal devoted to public health challenges. The journal, launched in 2008, aims to fill gaps in health information between rich and poor countries. Papers should address the global health agenda and include a strong policy or implementation component. The journal welcomes manuscripts from the developing world and may waive the publication fee for authors who are unable to pay. It also offers a manuscript mentorship scheme to less experienced researchers.

Health Policy and Systems Resources

This website was created by the Consortium for Health Policy & Systems Analysis in Africa (CHEPSAA) — a partnership between African and European universities. It is a resource for educators, researchers, students and policymakers interested in health policy and systems research, which aims to understand and improve how societies organise themselves to achieve collective health goals, and how stakeholders interact in policymaking.

The website includes links to recommended reading, organisations, training opportunities and events, and teaching materials.
