Today, on the Day of Africa’s Scientific Renaissance, we recognize the importance of strengthening science and research systems across the continent. At APHRC, we support African-led and African-owned research that responds to the region’s development priorities. Our work focuses on generating evidence to inform policy and improve lives in areas such as health, education, urbanization, and climate change. By building local research capacity and promoting the use of evidence, we contribute to a stronger, more self-reliant Africa. #IamAPHRC #ScientificRenaissance #AfricanScience #ResearchForAfrica #APHRCResearch @CARTAfrica @Countdown2030 @Zero_Hunger_Ke @ckyobutungi @GichuruJw @Amveyange @DMDiarafa @RatemoJuliet @Liz_Kimani @FlorahKarimi @cwkabiru @DorcasOdhiambo @NjeriMbuthia @Hope_shete @njerimbuthia @Charity_Waweru @sheena_kayira @PMungai_ @MangwanaVJ @MuliDavis @Wekesah @MDMwanga @deekagwii @joofassane @maloba_david93 @isammygh @Kilichobaki @CarolWainaina78 @Sidze_APHRC @williamsila @chumo_ivy @ndonyesarah @kabariac @Topistarkarani @Waithaka_KE @lamechmutava @agnes_kiragga @MosesNgware @PaulOdero @DKadengye @dia_diama @gody_adero @SokhnaT37994755 @MalickS97 @NDEYEAWAFALL9 @SyllaElHadjiMa1@Chris_Maero

Earlier today, we had an engagement with the @MoLGUganda, where we discussed opportunities for collaboration in the implementation of the Data Protection and Privacy Act Cap. 97. Local governments play a vital role in serving communities, and their involvement is key to promoting a culture of privacy and accountability in the handling of personal data. By working together, we can ensure that the law is not only understood but meaningfully applied at all levels. We’re grateful for the warm reception and look forward to building a strong partnership that puts people’s privacy rights at the center of service delivery. #PersonalDataisPrivate #DataPrivacyUG
