Strategic partnerships remain central to harnessing Africa’s full potential in health, human rights, and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Together with @cehurduganda, we had the pleasure of engaging with Cate Nyambura, Senior SRHR Policy Advisor at The Dioraphte Foundation, who leads the Foundation’s SRHR strategy through its Social Initiatives in Africa, in a rich and forward-looking conversation grounded in shared priorities and strategic alignment. The conversation created space to deepen our understanding of each other’s work, priorities, and approaches, while identifying potential areas for collaboration to advance SRHR in Africa.

“Tuberculosis is preventable and curable, yet it remains deadly. Ending TB starts with early diagnosis, proper treatment, and empowered communities.” Lydia

Mycobacterium tuberculosis also known as TB remains the world’s deadliest infectious killer, causing over 1.7M deaths each year its ability to hide inside human cells makes it even more dangerous. #TB #EndTB

Yes, we can end TB through unity, action, and people-driven change.

#HIS2026 We are advancing integrated, people centred health services, which require placing communities at the centre. It demands capacity empowerment and shared responsibility We must be well equipped for Integration and do it in phases. @MOH_Kenya @NASCOP @fnoluga @nsdcc_kenya

At #HealthIntegrationSummit2026, Dr. Ouma Oluga called for holistic, system-wide integration, emphasizing accountability, smarter resource use, and people-centered care. #HIS2026

At the #HealthIntegrationSummit2026, health integration is being discussed as a systems issue, but for communities, it is a daily reality. A young person living with HIV does not experience health in categories. Care must respond to the full reality of life. @NASCOP #HIS2026

Tonight, we remember, reflect and stand in solidarity. We honor lives lost to TB and commit to accelerating action to end it. TB is preventable but only if we act individually and collectively. #WTD2026 #YesWeCanEndTB
