SESSION 2 - 01.10.20 | CREATING AN AFRICAN PROJECT - RETHINKING THE CONFIGURATION OF KNOWLEDGE TO ADVANCE AFRICAN HEALTH & HEALTH SYSTEMS
Globally, decoloniality requires researchers and practitioners located in Africa to build and develop collective capacities and knowledge archives that centres Africa and African people. This Convening foregrounds African people as experts, and provides us with an opportunity to highlight our own solutions to the challenges faced on the African continent in the area of African Health Policy and Systems Research (HPSR).
This Convening was co-sponsored by HEALTH SYSTEMS GLOBAL (HSG), the ATLANTIC INSTITUTE, TEKANO, CHESAI and WITS SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH, UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND.
