Andrea Coleman has always a gimlet focus on 'closing the distance' to enable access to goods and services for health care at the last mile. Her emphasis is on the woefully overlooked issue of transport and mobility for real access to the last mile. This requires behavioral and systems changes and the outcome is efficiency, transparency and predictable and traceable delivery.
Andrea Coleman is co-founder of Riders for Health and President of Riders for Health ll. Riders for Health has played a vital role enabling public health information, contact tracing and sample transport for rapid diagnosis during the COVID crisis. The need for appropriate, reliable transport with experienced riders and drivers will increase as vaccine distribution becomes necessary.
Andrea founded Two Wheels for Life in 2016 to create nimble funding streams for Riders for Health's work in Africa.
She has recently co-founded the Transport and Mobility Alliance together with Susan Bornstein from World Bicycle Relief. Andrea's focus is on institution transport and mobility for health while Susan brings the issue of individual mobility particularly for women and girls in education and agriculture. Their goal is to raise the profile of the crosscutting issue of transport on the UN SDGs.
Andrea is also a founding member of The Elders Council for Social Entrepreneurs.
Her organisational guiding principles:
Working with government, other partners and collaborators
Collaborative systems change
African leadership
Gender balance
Environmental awareness
