🌍 Innovation ≠ tech. It’s people. What if we flipped the script on innovation in Africa? Our #ManifestoInnovationChallenge is about people, context, and values, not just tech or big budgets. 💡 Rethink innovation: • Context > novelty. • Impact > extraction. • Inclusion across Africa. 🗓 Webinar: 29 April 🔗@7837a068-20e5-4c0b-8f75-9e9535878f5a" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">events.teams.microsoft.com/event/84571d79….

🌟 Evidence Leadership, Driving Transformation 🌍✨ The Africa Evidence Leadership Award (AELA) is more than recognition; it sparks change. By elevating voices and empowering leaders, AELA proves evidence is not just data, but a force for resilience, collaboration, and hope. For @FBogale, winning AELA was a turning point. It gave her confidence to lead bold initiatives, co-found the Center for Evidence Synthesis-support & Development in Africa (CESDA) in Ethiopia, and join the global Evidence Synthesis Infrastructure Collaborative (ESIC) network, advancing evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM) across Africa and beyond. Her message to emerging leaders: producing quality evidence is only the start. True leadership means building relationships, listening, and investing in the next generation. It’s about turning knowledge into action and ensuring evidence drives transformation. ✨ Through AELA, leaders like Firmaye show that EIDM is about impact, influence, and sustainable futures. #AELAImpact #AfricaLovesEvidence #CapacityDevelopment #EIDMLeadership #EvidenceEcosystems #KnowledgeToAction #LeadershipInAction #PolicyInfluence #ResearchForImpact #TransformationThroughEvidence

The Future of Evidence is Bright: Get Ready for #Evidence2025! Prof @RuthS3, founding chair of the @Africa_evidence, described #Evidence2023 in Uganda as a highlight of the year, and she's excitedly anticipating an even more impactful #Evidence2025 in Benin. "Evidence 2023 was an absolute highlight for me. It was great to have this event hosted in Uganda for the first time and to welcome many new participants as a result. Evidence 2025 in Benin promises to be even bigger and better. Having the newly formed @AfricaAEYL as part of #Evidence2023 was so exciting. Africa is a continent that belongs to young people, and these young leaders brought energy, ideas and leadership to our growing evidence community. #Evidence2023 attracted participants from beyond Africa to a greater extent than ever before. When I spoke to colleagues attending from the US, Australia, and Europe, they all described #Evidence2023 as the highlight of their year. Indeed, many told me it was the best evidence conference they had ever attended. For attendees of #Evidence2025, whether in person or online, I can guarantee this event will be fresh air and inspiration for their evidence journeys going forward. This is a meeting that you cannot afford not to join. I won’t be there in person this year, but I look forward to seeing many of you online." Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to shape the future of evidence - mark your calendars for #Evidence2025 in Benin and join the conversation: shorturl.at/4I9IL.
