14 April, 2026

Dear CHIFA community,

I am pleased to invite you to the Evidence to Impact Symposium: Shaping Adolescent-Centered Policies and Programs in Eastern and Southern Africa (https://adolimpact.popcouncil.org/), to be held in Nairobi, Kenya, from 9 to 11 June. The symposium will bring together researchers, policymakers, civil society, youth organizations, and funders to strengthen the use of evidence in improving adolescent well-being, particularly for girls in Eastern and Southern Africa.

Co-hosted by the Population Council’s GIRL Center, APHRC, AFIDEP, Restless Development, and Kenya’s National Council for Population and Development, the symposium will focus on holistic adolescent health, skills and education pathways, and adolescent resilience amid digital, environmental, and social change.

Registration is now open, with early registration closing on 8 April and regular registration continuing through the end of April.

Hope to see you there,

Sherry
