🎉 We have just launched Ulwazi II Knowledge Hub

🥁 Today marks a major milestone as APHRC celebrates its Silver Jubilee. The grand opening of Ulwazi II has been presided over by the Chief Guest, Prof. Shaukat Abdulrazak-P.S State Department for Science Research and Innovation accompanied by #IamAPHRC’s Executive Director, Catherine Kyobutungi, Board Chair, Bunmi Makinwa, and other partners from across the Africa development sector.

The newly launched Ulwazi II is an ultra-modern knowledge hub designed to foster learning, collaboration, innovation, and knowledge exchange, creating a dynamic space for researchers, policymakers, partners, and communities to connect and shape solutions for Africa.

This milestone is not only a celebration of APHRC’s 25-year journey of impact, but also a bold step towards strengthening Africa’s knowledge systems and advancing evidence-driven transformation across the continent.

Early adolescence is where futures are formed and gender norms take hold. Today, APHRC is meeting with representatives from counties across Kenya to launch a study on how gender norms affect youth aged 10–14.

The study, which will run for the next five years, is part of a broader conversation on gender-transformative research that identifies and challenges harmful norms while informing programs and policies that promote equality and opportunity for all young people.

@ZukuHome Two days without internet! It’s incredibly frustrating! What’s worse is the poor customer service: zero accountability. Reliable service and decent support shouldn't be too much to ask for in 2025!
