Jointly moving Africa for health
Welcome to the African Physical Activity Network.
We are the African arm of the Global Advocacy for Physical Activity (GAPA), and the advocacy council for the International Society for Physical Activity and Health (ISPAH).
As a network, we strive to close the gap between policy and its implementation, promote research and collaboration and promote sport and physical activity and its
positive influence on health on the African continent.
The International Conference on Physical Activity and Sport for Health and Development in Africa (IC-PASHDA) disseminates research, networking, and scientific exchange.
