Modern research needs modern infrastructure! Kenya’s health R&D is held back by outdated labs and equipment. The budget should allocate more to modernizing research facilities in universities & national institutions.  #FundHealthResearch #InvestInInnovation

Community research shouldn’t end in journals or boardrooms. If findings don’t reach the people most affected, they lose meaning. Let’s share evidence with communities, not just about them; but for them. #EvidenceToAction #CommunityLedResearch #HealthEquity #ResearchJustice

Communities aren't poor, they're rich in untapped assets. Real change happens when we shift from helping to empowering by combining lived experiences with expert support. Let's build with, not for. #PowerShift #CommunityLedDevelopment #LocalVoices #DecolonizeDevelopment

Solutions thrive when rooted in communities. Imported ideas often fail without local context and ownership. Communities aren’t empty vessels — they are rich in assets and wisdom. Empower them to create homegrown, sustainable change! 🌱 #CommunityLed #Localization #Sustainability

Data must move us! At #Evi4Dev, African voices called for urgent, evidence-based action: it’s time to pivot from outdated funding models and externally driven priorities toward bold investments in African-led R&D and policies that strengthen and secure our health systems.

Well-funded doesn't mean well-suited. Without local context, even the best-funded interventions can miss the mark. Let's co-design with communities, not for them. #DecolonizeDevelopment #CommunityVoices #ContextMatters

Change isn’t just about statistics, it’s about connection, trust, and long-term transformation. While we track numbers, true progress runs deeper: it’s in how people live, feel, and lead after the project ends. Let’s shift how we define success.

Impact isn’t one-size-fits-all. What’s meaningful to a donor or evaluator may not reflect what truly matters to a community. Local people must be at the center of defining success based on their lived realities, goals, and values. True development listens first, then supports.
