New GDAR blog! "Early Career Researchers: finding our way in global health research" https://t.co/4uW7zaYqm2 Wise words from Joanne Smith, Feyisayo Odunitan-Wayas, @mukomagudani, Rosemary Musuva, @Clwanga16, @edwingwa and @damiodekunle
I had the opportunity to share part of GDAR research at #ICOPH2025, which examined how a multisectoral approach can be crucial in addressing climate change-Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs) syndemic hazards in an urban context such as Yaounde, Cameroon.@GDARnetwork @Tiikm_SriLan
Climate change & NCDs impact us all, but especially our youth. Answering how does climate vulnerability within the urban environment in Yaoundé affect youth's physical activity & nutrition? This workshop empowers adolescents to design solutions for a healthier lifestyle. #HCD
Schools are at the heart of healthy communities! A Human-Centered Design workshop where school authorities & NGOs co-create solutions for urban health challenges impacting physical activity, diet & NCDs is Key in the Rapid Growing and Urbanizing city of Yaoundé.
Double-edged reality! Our Human-Centered Design roundtable unites School Education authorities & local NGOs who are both parents and authorities, Bringing real-world experience to climate change and NCDs policies, attaching policy to the realities of raising healthy adolescents.
Stimulating discussions on potential ways of strengthening existing policies in addressing climate linked disasters and intersection with key NCD determinants in urban settings #GDARspaces 2nd stakeholder consultation workshop-Yaounde @GroupHopit@DrTolullah@GDARnetwork
