ANARA is a research network and registry. Our network is wide and inclusive. All ART centres in all African countries are invited to belong to ANARA. ANARA is led by a network and registry Director and administered by a small operational team. Data Directors are nominated by countries and sub-regions to facilitate data collection and other network activities. International and regional affiliations with other reproductive networks and with registries n other world regions ensure high level input and wide cooperation. This structure facilitates reach, representation, and international connectivity while maintaining core consistency and protection of data integrity.

ANARA is in South-South cooperation with the Registro Latinoamericano de Reproducción Asistida (RLA, the Latin American Registry of Assisted Reproduction) and together with RLA in Triangular cooperation with the International Committee for Monitoring ART (ICMART), a non-state actor in official relations with the World Health Organization.
