Today's office: a room full of researchers, policymakers, practitioners and changemakers. Looking forward to guiding today's conversations at the annual PEP Policy Conference. as MC, moderator and facilitator at the 2026 PEP Policy Conference as we explore what it truly takes for systems to deliver innovation in the Global South. Some conversations don't just inform policy. They shape possibility! #PEPConf2026 #Innovation #PolicyDialogue #Leadership #Facilitation #SystemsThinking #GlobalSouth #EvidenceToAction

Climate change is a public health and economic challenge that demands innovative financing and stronger partnerships. Join us on 24 June 2026 for a webinar on The Role of the Private Sector in the Nexus Between Climate and Health in Africa and explore how domestic financing, insurance mechanisms, blended finance, and private sector engagement can drive #climate & #health action. 🔗 Register: shorturl.at/myBBw #ClimateHealth #ClimateAction #ClimateFinance #AfricaHealth #EvidenceToAction

A space for the leaders of tomorrow, to make their voices heard. This exhibition is supposed to show the impact, moving from ideas to policy to action and impact. Welcome to the #ADIF knowledge fair #EvidencetoAction #EconomicAndIclusiveGrowth #AfricaRising

New evidence published in Nature Health shows that Rajasthan's Cash Plus approach, combining maternity cash benefits with social and behaviour change communication, can significantly improve maternal nutrition and reduce low birthweight at scale. The Cash Plus model was developed, implemented, and evaluated through a collaborative partnership involving the Government of Rajasthan, the Children's Investment Fund Foundation (@CIFFchild), and IPE Global. We are encouraged to see the findings being shared by the Hon'ble Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan. The results highlight the potential of government-led programmes, strengthened through strategic partnerships and evidence-based, integrated interventions to deliver measurable improvements in maternal and child nutrition at scale.

At the ongoing Institute for Human Development International Conference, #IamAPHRC’s @OtwatePaul will present findings from APHRC's Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) study on community perceptions of neuroimaging technologies and their potential role in advancing research on child brain development in Kenya. The study found that while awareness of common imaging technologies such as X-rays and ultrasound is high, knowledge of MRI remains limited. Nearly half of caregivers associated neuroimaging with health and safety risks, which guided community engagements to challenge misconceptions and promote acceptance. #APHRC #Neuroimaging #ChildDevelopment #BrainDevelopment #ResearchForImpact #IHDConference #EvidenceToAction #ScienceForDevelopment @NairobiCityGov @kadzomudzo @DrNampijjaM @KennethOkelo @awuoroloo1 @MDMwanga @OtwatePaul @jauriri2007 @symonmkariuki @ericomari @mbaya_nelson @Espira15 @onyango_silas @CharityWaweru @charleslenjo @NairobiCityGov @uthabitiafrica @KisumuCountyKE

The challenge in healthcare isn’t a lack of evidence, it’s turning evidence into action. Effective scientific communication bridges the gap between research and real-world clinical practice. #ScientificCommunication #EvidenceToAction #MedicalEducation #CME #SCOPE

We’re excited to welcome George Odero, Analytics & Platform Data Engineer, and Cynthia Anguza, Geoinformatics & Data Analytics Specialist, to the @arin_africa team! Their expertise will strengthen our work in data-driven research, analytics and evidence informed decision-making across Africa.

Accelerating progress in ending child marriage and sexual violence against girls is urgent now more than ever. APHRC in collaboration with UAPS and PHERI, hosted researchers, policymakers, and partners from across West and Central Africa to address one of the most urgent challenges in the region: Child Marriage and Sexual Violence. Discussions focused on: ✅ Definition of priority evidence gaps ✅ A regional research agenda ✅ Pathways to publication and policy impact The next phase will focus on delivering concrete results by supporting authors through mentorship to produce high-quality, policy-relevant scientific papers,and operationalizing the regional research agenda into multi-country collaborations. #IamAPHRC #EndChildMarriage #EvidenceToAction #ResearchForImpact #GirlsRights @aiajayi @njerimbuthia @NDEYEAWAFALL9 @dia_diama @UAPS_UEPA @UNFPA_WCARO @CKyobutungi @RatemoJuliet @lamechmutava @dia_diama @CheikhounaDia12 @santegouv_sn @DSMESENEGAL @ISSPBF @MinFamilleSN @joofassane @amveyange @DMdiarafa @OoasWaho @MalickS97 @SyllaElHadjiMa1 @deekagwii @williamsila @DorcasOdhiambo @MangwanaVJ @deborahndlovu @ndonyesarah

🌍 AI in evaluation: Opportunity or oversimplification for evidence use? A recent reflection by @TwendeMnE challenges the evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM) community to think beyond the hype of AI and focus on what truly matters for evaluation and evidence use. As AI tools become more integrated into our workflows, they are undeniably improving speed and efficiency, supporting everything from data synthesis to report drafting. But as highlighted by the author, faster does not automatically mean better. ⚖️ For #AENmembers and the wider #EIDMcommunity, a few critical insights stand out: 🔹 What’s changing: AI is reshaping how quickly evaluation tasks can be completed. 🔹 What isn’t: The fundamentals—rigor, critical thinking, and contextual understanding—remain non-negotiable. 🔹 What matters most: • Credibility must not be sacrificed for convenience • Context cannot be automated; local knowledge remains essential. • Evidence must be translated into usable, decision-friendly formats. • AI should strengthen, not replace human expertise. 🚀 The real question for our community is not whether to use AI, but how to ensure it strengthens evidence uptake and real-world impact. 💬 A reflection for our #AENmembers: How can we intentionally use AI to make evidence more accessible, relevant, and actionable across African contexts, while maintaining the integrity that underpins #EIDM? 🔗 Read the full reflection: twendembele.org/using-ai-in-…. #AI #Evaluation #EvidenceUse #EvidenceToAction #ResearchImpact #AfricaEvaluation #KnowledgeTranslation

AI is rapidly reshaping cancer care, but where do we draw the line? in this episode of Oncology Unscripted, @marshalj23 explores both the promise and the pressure of AI in oncology, from predicting treatment responses and supporting clinical trials to raising deeper questions about compassion, bias, and accountability. As AI continues to evolve, one thing becomes clear: access to information is expanding, but interpretation and human connection remain critical. The future of oncology won’t be defined by AI alone, but by how clinicians choose to use it. 🔗 Watch the full episode: bit.ly/4kcAhlI #Oncology #AIinHealthcare #CancerCare #MedicalEducation #EvidenceToAction

Investing in adolescent nutrition is investing in Africa's future. At #WHSNairobi2026, we brought together policymakers, researchers, donors, and adolescents themselves to turn evidence into action on adolescent nutrition. The tools exist. Now we need the financing, coordination, and political commitment to scale them. #AdolescentNutrition #InvestInAdolescents #EvidenceToAction
