Vision

The vision of AFPAN is to evaluate models of best practice which are regionally appropriate and meaningful through evidence-based research in order to promote health through sport and related activities in the African region.

The vision of AFPAN is also to establish open communication links between physical activity advocates, practitioners, policy makers and inter-sectoral partners throughout Africa and to provide member organisations with a platform to build global contacts. In addition, significant emphasis is placed on development of collaborations and dissemination of information to all sectors including governments, non-government organizations and the private sector.

It is envisaged that through the sharing of experiences, we can strengthen existing initiatives and apply the lessons learned to growing the influence of physical activity as an important indicator of a healthy individual and a healthy society. We remain optimistic that the African continent may still have the opportunity to primordially prevent the global risk factor of physical inactivity.
