25 years of APHRC is really a story of people — and Duncan Gatoto is one of those people I'm proud to spotlight.
Behind every piece of research that has shaped policy, improved lives, and driven evidence-based change across Africa, there are quiet champions making it all possible. Duncan is one of them.
For years, he has shown up — consistently, diligently, and with heart — ensuring that our resources are managed with integrity and deployed where they matter most. That kind of dedication doesn't always make the headlines, but it absolutely makes the difference.
I'm deeply grateful for his journey with us. Watch his story here
https://t.co/y8Kns2kzvu — it's one worth celebrating.

This is our moment to chart bold and evidence-informed solutions for a global health system that serves everyone, sustainably. Restructuring for resilience means centering communities, agency and dignity of all people.
That stretch from Mwea to Makutano has more potholes than road. What exactly is KENHA and co. doing with the increased road maintenance levy they imposed on us last year??
