#APHRCis25! While speaking at the celebrations, APHRC’s Executive Director, Dr. @CKyobutungi, underscored: “African scientists can do good science and make it count for the people of Africa. A good knowledge system is the foundation upon which we can build sovereignty. I don't think we can have health without a system, and so as we celebrate this moment, we are reaffirming our commitment to a strong African system made up of producers like us, scientists, researchers, academics and users across the board.” #25YearsOfImpact #25YearsOfAPHRC #IamAPHRC @CARTAfrica @Countdown2030 @Zero_Hunger_Ke @amveyange @CKyobutungi @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 @cwkabiru @agnes_kiragga @njerimbuthia
