What does ACLI mean in CANCER

The African Cancer Leaders Institute (ACLI) is an organization dedicated to educating and inspiring those dedicated to the fight against cancer in Africa.

The ACLI's goals are to strengthen health systems, develop cancer control strategies, and make research more accessible for African countries while building a community of African health leaders with the necessary skills, knowledge and courage to make informed decisions about cancer prevention, early detection and treatment in their respective countries.

ACLI works towards its goals by providing educational initiatives such as workshops, seminars and webinars that focus on understanding how decisions related to cancer can be based on evidence-based medicine. It also provides resources such as disease data dashboards which can be used by healthcare professionals and governments for informed decision making when it comes to tackling the burden of cancer in Africa.

Anyone interested in advancing the fight against cancer in Africa - including healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers or individuals — can benefit from joining the ACLI community. Members have access to unique tools, resources and information about evidence-based solutions for tackling cancer in the region that they wouldn't have access too otherwise.

Those interested in joining ACLI must fill out an application form online which will be evaluated based on criteria such as academic achievements or professional experience related to fighting or researching cancer diseases. Upon acceptance into the organization they will become part of this growing community of individuals working together towards improving healthcare systems across Africa in order to reduce the burden of cancer diseases.
