KTNET Africa is a network of eight research coalitions with membership of a coalition of researchers from Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Ethiopia, Ghana, Senegal, Mali and South Africa. 

The overall aim of this network is to promote and support the uptake and use of research evidence generated by our coalition partners who are funded by the Global Health Policy and Health Systems research programme (GHPHSR).
