About Us
What is WANEL?
The West African Network of Emerging Leaders (WANEL) is a network of emerging and mid-level Health Policy and Systems (HPS) practitioners and researchers. WANEL seeks to support the increasing numbers entering the field in practice and research based in West Africa. We do this by creating a space for peer-to-peer exchange and learning, supporting access to research training and leadership opportunities, and linking to related global networks. WANEL connects members across countries, across institutions, and across disciplines.
Our Vision
A new generation of regional HPS research and practice leaders prepared, in turn, to mentor a future generation of HPS leaders in West Africa.
Our Mission
To foster a bilingual, cross-country network of practitioners and researchers based in West Africa, and increase the number of junior and mid-level West Africa-based HPS practitioners and researchers with the competencies required for HPS.
