Welcome to CHeFA-Eastern Africa

CHeFA-EA (Community Health Financing Association for Eastern Africa) is a Regional Non-governmental organization established to facilitate exchange of knowledge, information and experiences in community health financing as a strategy for improving access to quality health care for the low-income population.

CHeFA-EA came into existence following a resolution passed in November 1998 at a Regional Conference held at the Ranch on the Lake Hotel in Kampala - Uganda. It was originally registered as the Community Health Financing Association for East, Central and Southern Africa (CHFA-ECSA) but later changed to CHeFA-EA in order to reflect her actual geographical Orientation.

1. Uganda Community Based Health Financing Association - (UCBHFA)
2. Kenya Community Based Health Financing Association - (KCBHFA).
3. Tanzania Network for Community Health Funds - (TNCHF)

CHeFA-Eastern Africa is also open to national organizations from other countries within the Eastern Africa region including Rwanda, Burundi, Southern Sudan and the horn of Africa that have an active interest and involvement in CHF.
As a forum for information, knowledge and experience sharing, CHeFA-EA promotes best practices leading to faster growth of the Community Health Financing (CHF) initiatives in the Eastern Africa region.
