The Benefits of Belonging to the Afrihealth Optonet Association (AHOA) - CSOs Global Movement and Think-tank for Health and Development

 

The benefits of becoming a member/partner of AFRIHEALTH Optonet Association are by no means exhaustive and include:

 

1.       Announce/broadcast and disseminate your organization’s activities to thousands of development stakeholders and policymakers across the world (Admin rules may apply);

2.       Be considered for nomination/inclusion in AHOA’s delegations/representatives to United Nations’ events and other Partners’ activities/programmes;

3.       Be considered to receive recommendations from AHOA to participate in the activities of the United Nations, ECOSOC, UNEP/UNEA, etc., and their Agencies;

4.       Receive regular information and guidance about funding and resource mobilization opportunities;

5.       Be published in the register of AHOA members/partners and circulated all over the world to potential funders and partners;

6.       Members/partners are able to broaden their base of support to submit proposals for funding and support, access opportunities and receive mutual benefits in the magnitude they could not gain individually or on their own;

7.       Individual members/partners from various countries and diverse cultures are provided with the platform and opportunity to engage and collaborate with each other for the greater good of all while retaining their independence;

8.       Members/partners gain leverage and improve their negotiation results through the banding together of older, bigger, and/or stronger organizations with other relatively newer, smaller, and/or weaker ones in AFRIHEALTH; who are thereby able to harness/access the resources needed to successfully face tough situations;

9.       Members/partners can focus on their strengths while relying on the support/strengths of other Network partners in other areas and still share in the accomplishments with other members/partners;

10.   Members/partners who might otherwise lose opportunities in competition with one another shall now join forces to negotiate in a mutual, collective, and organized manner with funders, development partners, international bodies, governments, embassies/foreign missions, businesses, political parties, etc. in a win-win situation for everyone;

11.   By combining efforts and sharing experiences and resources, AFRIHEALTH members/partners learn from each other, receive capacity-building support, acquire new skills, and broaden their knowledge, income, and abilities;

12.   By sharing resources, members/partners of AFRIHEALTH mutually benefit from the maxim of “the sum is often greater than the parts”, as shared resources often mean that the Network partners/members can overcome deficiencies together;

13.   Development requires money, people, and time; and the increased number of organizations/people in the Network usually means that it will take shorter/less time and cost less to accomplish an objective with the combined effort;

14.   Different organizations/partners coming together in AFRIHEALTH shall provide diversity for each member organization to broaden its reach and accomplishments by working with other organizations that are associated with the same or similar health and development issues or causes.
