Please join us for our upcoming Evidence to Impact Symposium: Shaping Adolescent-Centered Policies and Programs in Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) in Nairobi, Kenya, from 9 to 11 June. The symposium aims to bridge the gap between evidence, policy, and program implementation to improve the well-being of adolescents, particularly girls in Eastern and Southern Africa.
Co-hosted by the Population Council’s GIRL Center, the African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC), the African Institute for Development Policy (AFIDEP), Restless Development, and the National Council for Population and Development (NCPD), the symposium will bring together researchers, policymakers, civil society, youth organizations, and funders to transform evidence into action for adolescents.
'Adolescents' lives are shaped by interconnected health, education, social, economic, and political factors, further complicated by digital change, climate impacts, and humanitarian challenges. These realities require responsive, evidence-driven solutions that reflect their lived experiences. There is an urgent need for policies and programs that are evidence-based, accessible, and grounded in adolescents' realities.'
