The United States Coalition for African Immigrant Health (USCAIH) began as the National African Immigrant Project (NAIP) in 2005 under the auspices of the U.S. Office of Minority Health. USCAIH was originally established to provide a platform for national and regional conferences on African immigrant health. Each of these conferences successfully attracted state and federal agencies, clinicians, academics, students and other stakeholders working with the African Immigrant (AI) population. In 2021, USCAIH further expanded its mission by establishing itself as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization Coalition in order to provide a broader platform for engaging stakeholders interested in the African diaspora.
USCAIH’s mission is to provide a forum for U.S. African Immigrant community discourse aimed at strengthening strategic partnerships that promote positive changes in the health status of our communities. We strive to bring together stakeholders working on health concerns toward improving the knowledge bases, understanding, partnerships, and strategic pathways to eliminate health disparities impacting our community.
