I was privileged to join my professional colleagues, faculty, senior gov't officials led by the Cabinet Secretary for Education, university managers, among other distinguished education stakeholders during the unveiling of the National Education Research Agenda for Kenya.

@mngware at the HERI-A launch at @kisiuniofficial reiterating the importance of universities ring-fencing faculty time to do research to increase Africa’s share of global research by at least 30% by 2050.

Today, #IamAPHRC participated in the official launch of the Harnessing Education Research for Impact in Africa (HERI Africa) Initiative at Kisii University, Kenya. During the event, #IamAPHRC’s Dr. Moses Ngware presented the National Education Research Agenda, highlighting the importance of aligning education research with national priorities, strengthening coordination across institutions, and ensuring that evidence informs policy, planning, and practice. The National Education Research Agenda is a critical step toward transforming Kenya’s education research ecosystem, making it more responsive, impactful, and grounded in local realities. APHRC is excited to contribute to this initiative that places African-led research at the centre of education transformation. #HERIAfricaLaunch #EducationResearch #EvidenceInPolicy #AfricanLedResearch #APHRCResearch @Heri_Africa @ZiziAfrique @aphrc @ESSA_Africa @EduMinKenya @UoEmbu @KenyattaUni @kisiuniofficial @HonJuliusMigos @nrfkenya @CUE_Kenya @MNgware @LucyWakiaga @Kilichobaki @atiabu @kadzomudzo @DMdiarafa @amveyange @CKyobutungi @Mulidavis

What began as an effort to strengthen Kenya’s education research through locally led collaboration has now grown into a broader African movement focused on improving how education evidence is generated, supported, and put into practice. With the official launch of Harnessing Education Research for Impact in Africa (HERI Africa), APHRC reaffirms its commitment to ensuring research informs policy decisions and classroom practice across the continent. #HERIAfricaLaunch #IamAPHRC #EducationResearch #AfricanLedResearch #ResearchForImpact @Heri_Africa @ZiziAfrique @aphrc @ESSA_Africa @EduMinKenya @UoEmbu @KenyattaUni @kisiuniofficial @HonJuliusMigos @nrfkenya @CUE_Kenya @MNgware @LucyWakiaga @Kilichobaki @atiabu @kadzomudzo @DMdiarafa @amveyange @CKyobutungi @Mulidavis

Launching the Human Capital & Education Returns (HCER) Lab at @UArkansas EDRE. We study the economic returns to education — using causal methods, global data, and U.S. evidence — to inform policy and finance decisions. shorturl.at/5mtom

On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we celebrate all women scientists contributing to initiatives and solutions driving change and transforming lives. To close the gender gap in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) we emphasize that it requires more than policies; it requires practice. At APHRC, our research shows that while many education systems have gender-responsive frameworks, these commitments often fail to translate into classroom practice. Bridging this gap calls for sustained investment in teacher training, gender-responsive pedagogy, and evidence-informed decision-making across STEM education systems. Through our education and youth empowerment research, we work with policymakers, institutions, and practitioners to ensure that evidence drives inclusive STEM pathways so that women and girls are not only present in science but supported to thrive and lead. #WomenInScience #GirlsInSTEM #ClosingTheGenderGap #EvidenceToAction #EducationResearch #STEMEquity @MNgware @LucyWakiaga @Kilichobaki @atiabu @kadzomudzo @DMdiarafa @amveyange @CKyobutungi @Mulidavis @RatemoJuliet @williamsila @DorcasOdhiambo @MangwanaVJ @deborahndlovu @ndonyesarah @Chris_Maero

In collaboration with the KEMRI Knowledge Management Division, #IamAPHRC’s Policy, Engagement and Communications (PEC) Program team is hosting a side event today at the ongoing 16th KEMRI Annual Scientific and Health (KASH) Conference in Nairobi. Join us for a candid conversation on why we must move beyond disseminating evidence at the end of projects to actively creating demand among policymakers, funders, practitioners, and communities. 🗓️ Date: February 12,2026 ⏰️ Time: 3:00 PM EAT 🤝 Visit our stand at the exhibition area to learn more about how we are transforming lives in Africa through research. #KASH2026 #ScienceCommunication @CARTAfrica @amveyange @CKyobutungi @DMdiarafa @RatemoJuliet @williamsila @DorcasOdhiambo @MangwanaVJ @deborahndlovu @ndonyesarah @njerimbuthia @Chris_Maero @dia_diama @ChristineGer22 @MangwanaVJ @Hope_shete @MuliDavis @Wekesah @CharityWaweru @Waithaka_KE @isabelmutuku1

@WWHGlobalEd @gatesfoundation The insight note makes the choice clear for governments: put core literacy and numeracy at the center of education plans and budgets, and the payoff is huge for young people, economies, and societies. Read more: wwhge.org/resources/achi…

This is huge and an investment worth considering for countries.

The world needs to know what is happening in Uganda on election day. Internet switched off. Massive ballot stuffing reported everywhere. Our leaders, including Deputy President for Western Region, arrested. Many of our polling agents and supervisors abducted, and others chased off polling stations. BVVK machines have failed everywhere. The PEOPLE OF UGANDA MUST RISE TO THE OCCASION AND REJECT THE CRIMINAL REGIME. THE WORLD MUST NEVER GIVE ANY LEGITIMACY TO THE REGIME OF BLOOD AND SHAME. #FreeUgandaNow

@cecild84 @roseoronje No one should be punished for feeding and educating their own children.

🇧🇼IMF warned they will punish Botswana if they take control of their resources like the AES: The IMF and World Bank were never created to help Africa. They were engineered to chain Africa, to discipline Africa and to keep Africa permanently weak, obedient and open for Western extraction. When Botswana dares to dream of owning its own diamonds, the IMF suddenly becomes "concerned." Concerned that Africans might control their own wealth. Concerned that Africans might break free from debt slavery. Concerned that Africa might finally stop begging and start deciding. Anglo American is selling its 85% stake in De Beers and Botswana wants to move from 15% to majority ownership. This is economic self-defense. And immediately, like a colonial ghost rising from the grave, the IMF appears with warnings, threats dressed as advice, and fear wrapped in economics. “Don’t increase your stake.” “Your fiscal situation is weak.” “You depend too much on diamonds.” Translation..... Stay poor. Stay dependent. Stay obedient. The IMF does not fear Botswana’s economy collapsing. The IMF fears Botswana no longer needing the IMF. Because once a country owns its resources, debt becomes optional. Once a country controls its wealth, foreign supervision becomes irrelevant. Once a country stands firm, the IMF loses power. The IMF is not a financial institution. It is a disciplinary tool of Western imperialism. A polite enforcer of poverty. A spreadsheet version of colonialism. A debt plantation where African nations work endlessly and never own the harvest. Africa does not need the IMF. Africa needs resource sovereignty, economic courage, leaders who are not scared of Western disapproval. Botswana, own your diamonds. Own your land. Own your destiny. Duma Gideon Boko, all eyes are on you. Stand firm, son of the soil. Do not bow. Do not blink. Do not be intimidated by institutions that fear African independence more than African poverty. If owning your resources means offending the IMF, then offend them loudly. Africa was not born to beg. Africa was robbed. And it is time to take everything back.

Hongera WARO. You have made us proud.
