The African Religious Health Assets Programme

An international research collaboration working on the interface of religion and public health, with a focus on Africa.

ARHAP seeks to develop a systematic knowledge base of religious health assets (RHAs) in Sub-Saharan Africa to align and enhance the work of religious health leaders, public policy decision-makers and other health workers in their collaborative efforts to meet the challenge of disease such as HIV/AIDS, and to promote sustainable health, especially for those who live in poverty or under marginal conditions. Our work includes:

  • Interdisciplinary research on religion and public health
  • Identification and mapping of religious health assets
  • Networking between religious and public health organizations and individuals in Africa and beyond
  • Development of research materials and tools, and dissemination of such
  • Research and evaluation of key public health projects and initiatives, with a special focus on HIV/AIDS
  • Development of emerging health/development workers and academics in Africa
