Institutional Profile
Research and community action for better health
Established in December 2025, THRIVE was founded to address persistent disparities and critical care gaps in Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (MNCH) and non-communicable lung diseases, such as asthma and COPD across northern Cameroon.
We bridge academic rigour with district-level pragmatism, partnering directly with sub-national health delegations, local health facilities, clinicians, and communities to elevate the quality of primary care and health system resilience.

Our Vision
“To build resilient and equitable health ecosystems where every person, especially women and children in vulnerable communities, can thrive and achieve the highest quality of health and life.”
Strategic Pillars
Our Four Pillars of Action
Organised to create systemic, measurable health improvements from primary care facilities to remote households.
Health Systems Strengthening
Building healthcare worker capacity, optimising digital health data systems, and expanding primary respiratory care across the Adamawa region and northern Cameroon.
Implementation Research and Policy Advocacy
Generating local, context-specific evidence to address bottlenecks in health interventions and inform sustainable health system improvements and national policy change.
Health Promotion and Social Behaviour Change (SBC)
Empowering communities, transforming health seeking behaviours, and shifting social norms across northern Cameroon.
Geographic Footprint
Anchored in Northern Cameroon
Where local community engagement meets evidence-grounded public health execution.
Our Approach
Starting in Vina Division, our approach brings together local health authorities, frontline health workers, and communities to shape practical solutions for maternal, newborn, child, and respiratory health. We combine integrated care, workforce capacity building, implementation research, and community engagement, using local data to guide priorities, learn from delivery, and inform policy and future expansion.

Planned regional expansion
Future expansion within Adamawa and into the North and Far North regions will depend on resources and engagement with local health authorities. These are future ambitions, not a claim of current programme coverage.
