As Africa works towards the #SustainableDevelopmentGoals, @Countdown2030 demonstrates that lasting impact comes not just from collecting data, but from turning evidence into decisions that strengthen health systems and save lives. In this article, @deekagwii and @joofassane explore how #Countdownto2030 is transforming the way African countries generate, analyze, and use data to improve the health and well-being of women, children, and adolescents. By strengthening country capacity, equipping young African researchers, and promoting the use of routine health data, the initiative is helping governments identify inequities, inform policies, allocate resources more effectively, and drive evidence-based action where it matters most. 📖 Read 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐄𝐫𝐚 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞-𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝟐𝟎𝟑𝟎 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 on pages 32–33 of the latest APHRC Newsletter (Issue 1, 2026). 👉 buff.ly/JpEeaEw #ChartingNewFrontiers #IamAPHRC #WeAreAfrica @gatesfoundation @theGFF @WorldPopProject @ckyobutungi @Amveyange @GichuruJw @DMDiarafa @RatemoJuliet @Liz_Kimani @AdjaAminataMbe1 @nalypio @KananuraRornald @NjeriMbuthia @Sidze_APHRC @FlorahKarimi @cwkabiru @dorcas_odhiambo @Hope_shete @CharityWaweru @maloba_david93 @williamsila @agnes_kiragga @DKadengye @kadzomudzo @MangwanaVJ @MuliDavis @Wekesah @joofassane @podero @gody_adero @SokhnaT37994755 @MalickS97 @AswaniStella @lamechmutava @NDEYEAWAFALL9 @Chris_Maero

Across Africa, many people are living with multiple chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity, and yet many health systems are still designed to treat one disease at a time. In our latest blog post, @kingswaleh , @Hope_shete , @maina_d , and @isammygh explore how the Multimorbidity in Africa Digital Innovation, Visualization, and Application (MADIVA) initiative is transforming multimorbidity care in Nairobi. By linking clinical and demographic data, strengthening health information systems, and developing data-driven tools, MADIVA is helping healthcare providers better understand disease patterns and deliver more integrated, patient-centred care. 👉 Read the full story and discover how digital innovation is shaping the future of healthcare in Africa:  buff.ly/xKRxsoU #IamAPHRC #WeAreAfrica #APHRCResearch @amveyange @CKyobutungi @GichuruJw @DMdiarafa @RatemoJuliet @williamsila @MangwanaVJ @deborahndlovu @ndonyesarah @DorcasOdhiambo @FlorahKarimi @Waithaka_KE @Chris_Maero @dia_diama @ChristineGer22 @williamsila @lamechmutava @MangwanaVJ @Hope_shete @MuliDavis @Wekesah @CharityWaweru @Waithaka_KE @isabelmutuku1 @Liz_Kimani @FlorahKarimi @cwkabiru @agnes_kiragga @njerimbuthia #IamAPHRC #WeAreAfrica #APHRCResearch

Africa doesn't lack solutions; it needs greater investment in proven approaches, stronger local institutions, and evidence-informed policymaking to accelerate sustainable development across the continent. In a compelling opinion piece co-authored by #IamAPHRC's Executive Director, Dr. @CKyobutungi , alongside the Director, Policy, Government Relations, and Partnerships, Africa at the @gatesfoundation , @CatyFondsmond , they state, “Solutions scale when governments can see what works, and when the evidence behind it was generated close enough to the problem to be trusted.” Working at the intersection of research, policy, and African-grounded data, #IamAPHRC demonstrates what is possible when African institutions are at the helm of the knowledge agenda. 📖 Read the full opinion piece: buff.ly/7RDUPZp #IamAPHRC #WeAreAfrica #APHRCResearch @GatesAfrica @cnbcafrica @GichuruJw @amveyange @DMdiarafa @RatemoJuliet @williamsila @MangwanaVJ @deborahndlovu @ndonyesarah @DorcasOdhiambo @FlorahKarimi @Waithaka_KE @Chris_Maero @dia_diama @ChristineGer22 @Hope_shete @MuliDavis @Wekesah @CharityWaweru @Waithaka_KE @isabelmutuku1 @Liz_Kimani @FlorahKarimi @cwkabiru @agnes_kiragga @njerimbuthia @AswaniStella @lamechmutava

What if the biggest breakthrough in preventing cervical cancer is better data? In this article, @NDEYEAWAFALL9 explores how #IamAPHRC is advancing new approaches to measuring HPV vaccine coverage and equity in Senegal. While cervical cancer is one of the world's most preventable cancers, ensuring every eligible girl is protected requires more than vaccine availability; it requires accurate, reliable data. To help close this gap, #IamAPHRC, with support from the Gates Foundation and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, is leading the study, “𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐏𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐮𝐬 𝐕𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥”, as part of the broader HPV-Impact project. 📖Read more on 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫: 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐕𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 on pages 30–31 of the latest APHRC Newsletter (Issue 1, 2026). 🔗buff.ly/JpEeaEw #ChartingNewFrontiers #IamAPHRC #WeAreAfrica @CKyobutungi @DMdiarafa @amveyange @RatemoJuliet @williamsila @MangwanaVJ @deborahndlovu @ndonyesarah @dorcas_odhiambo @MuliDavis @CharityWaweru @Hope_shete @isabelmutuku1 @lamechmutava

APHRC's @Countdown2030 Initiative has kicked off a four-day training for Cohort 3 of its Fellowship Program, focused on policy engagement, knowledge translation, and strategic communication. The capacity strengthening forum aims to enhance the  fellows' capacity to effectively communicate the key findings, policy implications, and recommended actions emerging from their research. Through the training workshop, fellows will: ✅ Strengthen their ability to translate research findings into clear, policy-relevant messages. ✅ Develop and refine posters for presentation at the upcoming 2026 Country Annual Meeting, highlighting their research questions, methods, key findings, and policy implications. ✅ Build confidence in delivering concise and compelling three-minute research pitches. ✅ Receive targeted technical support to enhance the quality, clarity, and relevance of their research outputs. ✅ Strengthen their skills in visual communication through the effective use of graphs, tables, infographics, and policy messaging. ✅ Develop post-2026 Country Annual Meeting action plans for manuscript development, policy engagement, and dissemination. By investing in the next generation of African researchers and evidence leaders, #IamAPHRC is ensuring that country-generated evidence informs policies, programs, and accountability for the health of women, children, and adolescents. @gatesfoundation @FMoHealth @theGFF @AdjaAminataMbe1 @dia_diama @KananuraRornald @joofassane @RatemoJuliet @CKyobutungi @maloba_david93 @DMdiarafa

Could Africa's new bilateral global health agreements redefine the continent's health trajectory, or do they carry risks beneath the surface? In this article, #IamAPHRC’s @BernardSabiti explores the opportunities and challenges presented by the United States' America First Global Health Strategy (AFGHS) agreements with African countries. As governments work to strengthen pandemic preparedness, health systems, and digital health infrastructure, pressing questions remain around data sovereignty, equitable partnerships, financing, and the protection of national interests. While these agreements may open doors to fresh investment and innovation, the article argues that African countries must negotiate from a position of strength, backed by robust safeguards that ensure such partnerships build long-term resilience rather than entrench dependency. 📖 Read America's Bilateral Global Health Agreements: Poisoned Chalice or Paragon of Opportunity? on pages 28–29 of the latest APHRC Newsletter (Issue 1, 2026). 👉 buff.ly/JpEeaEw #ChartingNewFrontiers #IamAPHRC #WeAreAfrica @CKyobutungi @DMdiarafa @amveyange @RatemoJuliet @williamsila @MangwanaVJ @deborahndlovu @ndonyesarah @dorcas_odhiambo @MuliDavis @CharityWaweru @Hope_shete @isabelmutuku1 @lamechmutava

Who teaches children in refugee camps? Many are refugee teachers themselves. Yet despite playing a critical role in ensuring children continue learning, refugee teachers often remain invisible in education policies and support systems. Join us on June 23 for the webinar

Teachers are at the heart of every child's recovery, resilience, and learning journey. For children affected by displacement, teachers do far more than teach—they provide safety, stability, hope, and essential psychosocial support. Yet, their own well-being is often overlooked. Join Save the Children and partners for a timely webinar exploring the findings of a Teacher Well-Being Study conducted in Garissa and Turkana. Together, we'll discuss what the evidence tells us and the actions needed to better support teachers in refugee and host community schools.
