#APHRCis25 During the APHRC@25 celebrations, Paulin Basinga, Director, Gates Foundation Africa, highlighted that institutions like APHRC are not just valuable, they are indispensable. ✅ Without credible local research, there is no smart investment. ✅ Without African leadership in research, there is no sustainable progress. Paulin noted that strong institutions are built on trust and credibility, highlighting APHRC's credibility across the continent and its ability to guide evidence-informed decision-making. “APHRC is a well-positioned Pan-African research institution that brings together diverse stakeholders to generate African-led evidence aimed at solving African challenges,” he said. #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
