Introduction

This year, our annual report is a special commemorative edition. It covers our achievements over the past year and the last two decades as we are celebrating our 20th anniversary since the Center’s inception.

The Center has experienced tremendous growth in the number of staff, projects and countries where we work. Our researchers have published over 1000 peer-reviewed articles, technical reports as well as policy-oriented products. The Center’s work has shaped and continues to shape policy and programmatic decisions in different countries and at the regional and global levels. Our capacity strengthening efforts have seen some of the staff who joined us in our first decade as research interns growing to become senior researchers after attaining their PhDs and taking on leadership positions. We have also made a tangible contribution to building the next generation of researchers on the continent through our doctoral programs, which have produced over 314 PhD graduates. Our programs are designed to train and retain Africa’s brightest minds on the continent while providing opportunities for them to thrive and forge successful careers in academia. The Center moved into its own purpose-built office facility at its headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya and opened a second office for the West African region in Dakar, Senegal.

The Center’s 20 year journey is an African success story and so as we trace this journey we pay tribute to three African traditions - basket-weaving, metal forging and clay-molding. We describe our work through the lens of these African traditions that are rooted in the continent’s culture, that have served generations of Africans and continue to define us.

Through strong partnerships and collaborations, we are weaving a beautiful tapestry of research, capacity strengthening and, policy engagement and communications networks on the continent and beyond that keep taking us closer to achieving our vision.

Metals are formed or shaped through the process of forging. Similarly, our work in capacity strengthening has nurtured research leaders at the Center and beyond. Our training programs are thorough, delivered by world class facilitators and partner universities and together, we are shaping research leaders from the continent.

The potter’s work of molding captures our efforts to shape new policies, and decisions that have programmatic impact on the continent and beyond.

These three components, weaving, forging and molding summarize what the cogs that turn the Center’s wheels are. Without the formidable partnerships, both with internal and external stakeholders in different areas of work, the Center would not be able to achieve its goals

Join us on this walk down memory lane, as we reminisce on our growth over the years. This was only possible through forging, building, nurturing and sustaining partnerships with many of you. We take this opportunity to say thank you, asante sana, merçi beaucoup for coming along on this exciting journey.

"These three components, weaving, forging and molding summarize what the cogs that turn the Center’s wheels are. Without the formidable partnerships, both with internal and external stakeholders in different areas of work, the Center would not be able to achieve its goals."

Catherine Kyobutungi

Executive Director

The year 2021 was a special one for APHRC; we marked our 20th anniversary and recorded significant achievements and contributions to Africa's development. Amidst the unfortunate COVID19 pandemic that devastated lives and threatened public health gains achieved over the years, the Center continued its vision of being the pre-eminent research organization in the continent.

In 2021, many institutions struggled to withstand the significant global disruption but APHRC remained relevant and agile. Our progressive investment in effective systems and processes paid off as we continued to grow, thrive and impact lives in all our programmatic areas.

In 20 years, we have built a track record of using independent and locally generated evidence to spur dialogue and shape policies that have transformed African lives. We deepened our evidence-informed decision-making approach at the continental, regional and national levels working with the African Union, regional economic blocs, federal governments, civil society, and multilateral agencies. Our doctoral program is on track to building the next generation of researchers.

While we celebrated our history and milestones, we also took time to think, plan and focus our energy on the future. Our newly launched impact focused 2022-2026 Strategic Plan reinforces our commitment to playing an instrumental role in shaping the continent's future. Bold and ambitious, the new Strategic Plan redefines the Center's role as a catalyst and enabler in the African R&D ecosystem. Our ambition for the next five years rests on the foundation of excellent work done over the last 20 and the strong systems, processes, and networks we have built over the years.

We could not have achieved sustained growth and impact without the support of our partners: funders, governments, academia, media, and civil society, and the dedication and commitment of our staff. We thank you all for your continued support for the APHRC vision over the last 20 years, enabling us to look forward confidently to the next 20 years.

Weaving


"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." – Helen Keller


After 20 years of independent operations, our vision to transform lives in Africa through research is shaping up. It is a bold vision that can not be achieved single-handedly. Therefore, we have embraced the practice of weaving - we have developed networks and partnership across our programmatic areas, in different sectors, with organizations operating at different levels across and within decision making spaces, and organizations with different mandates in all subregions of the continent and beyond. We have woven partnerships by aligning, learning and collaborating with critical institutions that impact the continent’s development including civil society, academic institutions, funders, government agencies, multilateral organizations, grassroots organizations among others.

Weaving

After 20 years of independent operations, our vision to transform lives in Africa through research is shaping up. It is a bold vision that can not be achieved single-handedly. Therefore, we have embraced the practice of weaving - we have developed networks and partnership across our programmatic areas, in different sectors, with organizations operating at different levels across and within decision making spaces, and organizations with different mandates in all subregions of the continent and beyond. We have woven partnerships by aligning, learning and collaborating with critical institutions that impact the continent’s development including civil society, academic institutions, funders, government agencies, multilateral organizations, grassroots organizations among others.

Our collaboration with the African Union Commission (AU), UNECA, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has resulted in the increased awareness about the need for an aging agenda. APHRC’s research has been used within the ‘AU Policy Framework and Plan of Action on Aging in Africa’. It has informed the ‘Africa Common Position on the Rights of Older People’ and the ‘Protocol on the Rights of Older Persons in Africa’. The Center has also developed practical guidelines to improve older people’s wellbeing in Africa ‘Towards Long-term Care Systems in sub-Saharan Africa’.

At the same time, the Center is cognizant of the impact of gender inequality on women, from the unequal burden of unpaid care work, mental health, economic empowerment and sexual and gender based violence. It is for this reason that the Center is engaging in multi-year partnerships with stakeholders to advance Africa-led research and policy engagement on violence against women and girls, and maternal health. Under the Innovating for Maternal and Child Health in Africa initiative (IMCHA), APHRC has been working on strengthening individual and institutional research capacity, enabling national-level ownership of research, building coherence, and facilitating mutual learning. Between 2014 and 2022, IMCHA has sought to build a network of committed actors, highlighting the need for evidence-informed decision making on maternal and child health.

The Center pioneered the implementation of a community-based after-school support program targeting adolescents and parents living in Korogocho and Viwandani, two informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya. Since its inception in 2013 and working with two grassroots organizations - Miss Koch and U-Tena, the program has reached over 2000 adolescents, and has resulted in enhanced learning outcomes, and reduced gender disparities in numeracy and literacy skills between adolescent girls and boys. This was possible through a long-standing partnership with The Wellsprings Philanthropic Fund, whose support spanned over eight years, enabled the education and youth empowerment unit to improve education outcomes and wellbeing for young people in informal settlements in Nairobi.

Over the years, our work has continued to shine the spotlight on key issues such as safe abortion, adolescent sexual and reproductive health, and access to contraceptives. Within our network of collaborators is the Guttmacher Institute, Ipas, the Ministry of Health, Kenya Obstetrical and Gynecological Society (KOGS), Kisumu Medical and Education Trust (K-MET), Kenya Medical Association (KMA), Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) and the Population Studies and Research Institute (PSRI), whose work with us culminated in the widely cited Incidence and Complications of Unsafe Abortion in Kenya: Key Findings of a National Study report, which was cited as part of a landmark case by the Center for Reproductive Rights in 2019, challenging the government’s withdrawal of the standards and guidelines for reducing morbidity and mortality from unsafe abortion in Kenya. The 10-year old report continues to be the go-to source of information for government, media, and civil society organizations about abortion in the country.

Within the same line of work, our Challenging the Politics of Social Exclusion project has expanded our reach, working with partners in Burkina Faso, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and Zambia to generate evidence on three main areas: adolescent sexual and reproductive health, acces to safe abortion services, as well as exclusion of sexual and gender minorities in Africa. The project, which has been running since 2018, supports a cross-section of actors working to overcome the barriers and advance the full domestication and realization of continental sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) commitments. In addition, some of our earlier work on adolescent sexual and reproductive health in urban informal settlements contributed to the development of the 2015 Kenya National Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health Policy.

The practice of weaving is encapsulated by the notion that there is a common thread, a shared mindset and understanding, that has been evidenced recently through the Complex Urban Systems for Sustainability and Health (CUSSH) Enrichment program. We have also been working with partners in the county of Kisumu in Kenya to build a shared understanding of the multiple interactions between different parts of the urban system that will inform the development and implementation of new city policies. We have trained journalists and youth champions in Kisumu on solutions journalism, empowering them to document innovative solutions to waste management that are being adopted in their communities. Working with school environmental clubs, we have also contributed to sensitizing children on environmental conservation and waste management in four informal settlements in Kisumu, Kenya.

Metal Forging


“Leaders become great, not because of their power, but because of their ability to empower others.” - John Maxwell


More than ever, we are cognizant of the critical place of training and mentorship in nurturing leadership for the sustainability of the continent’s research and development agenda. Just like the age-old practice of forging metal, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to building Africa’s next generation of research leaders and seeking out strategic partnerships to do this at scale.

Metal Forging

More than ever, we are cognizant of the critical place of training and mentorship in nurturing leadership for the sustainability of the continent’s research and development agenda. Just like the age-old practice of forging metal, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to building Africa’s next generation of research leaders and seeking out strategic partnerships to do this at scale.

Leveraging the extensive network of partnerships forged over the past 20 years, we have developed and implemented capacity strengthening programs of varying lengths and depths. APHRC has over the years developed a capacity strengthening philosophy that focuses on sustainable skills transfer, critical mass and enabling institutional environments. In the first decade of its existence, the Center largely focused on inward looking capacity strengthening in the form of research traineeships and post-doctoral fellowships. Through this approach, the Center has been able to grow a formidable team of African scholars that are driving the Center’s research programs. Over the last 10 years, the Center has supported 13 staff to earn their PhDs and mentored them towards leading research initiatives across the continent, while 14 others are currently enrolled.

Our capacity strengthening ethos has evolved and incorporated large scale outward looking initiatives, targeting non-APHRC staff and partner institutions. Through our flagship doctoral training programs; the African Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship (ADDRF) program and the Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa (CARTA) we have continued to support research capacity strengthening in sub-Saharan Africa. Since 2008, our ADDRF program has provided last-mile support to 219 fellows, from 22 African countries. The program has graduated 183 PhD and two Masters degree holders. CARTA - a consortium of eight African universities and four research institutes has enrolled 245 PhD fellows at its partner institutions. Of them, 131 are now PhD graduates and more than 70 have received post-doctoral awards. More than 90% of ADDRF and CARTA graduates remain research active on the continent.

Within our teams, we have invested in leadership coaching, supervisory and professional training, to a tune of approximately USD 1.2 million in the last 20 years. Through our internship program, we have hosted 137 interns and 31 visiting scholars from across the continent and abroad. In 2020, we redesigned the program to a paid, demand-driven model for postgraduate and undergraduate students keen on establishing careers in research. Through the new approach, the Center recruits at least 14 interns for research projects annually.

Our capacity strengthening efforts are all-encompassing. We have sought to enhance the governance, financial, procurement and human resource systems and processes of our grantees using the Good Financial Grant Practice (GFGP) to evaluate and improve their internal capacities. Within the CARTA program, we are working towards the sustainability, upscaling and diffusion of gains made under the program by institutionalizing capacity strengthening interventions in partner African universities.

The Center has developed the right philosophy and models for capacity strengthening on the continent that will greatly contribute to the critical mass of African research leaders and strong research institutions that the continent needs.

"Our capacity strengthening efforts are all-encompassing. We have sought to enhance the governance, financial, procurement and human resource systems and processes of our grantees using the Good Financial Grant Practice (GFGP) to evaluate and improve their internal capacities."

Shaping and Molding


“We can’t do evidence-based policy without evidence.” – Richard H. Thaler


The Center has remained steadfast in our vision to create robust and replicable evidence generated by African researchers in our hopes to drive the continent’s policy agenda. Our research has explored how improving outcomes in our programmatic work streams are linked to development and growth on the continent, and how those improved outcomes can help to shape policy, advance resource mobilization, and enhance implementation of best practices.

Shaping and Molding

The Center has remained steadfast in our vision to create robust and replicable evidence generated by African researchers in our hopes to drive the continent’s policy agenda. Our research has explored how improving outcomes in our programmatic work streams are linked to development and growth on the continent, and how those improved outcomes can help to shape policy, advance resource mobilization, and enhance implementation of best practices.

APHRC has made deep inroads into the East African health space with its flagship work in Kenya, relationships with key decision makers, and diverse regional activities. Our work spans various issues including sanitation, aging populations, non-communicable diseases, nutrition, and most recently COVID-19. The Center implements 112 projects in 34 African countries.

The Center remains one of the few African research institutions engaged in evidence generation on responding to the growing needs of more than 60 million people in Africa, over the age of 60. Our evidence-informed argument on the need for differentiated models of long-term care for Africa’s elderly population was adopted as the African Union’s common position on aging.

More than 70 per cent of the population in Eastern and Southern Africa (340 million people) have no access to basic sanitation services. Addressing issues in sanitation is crucial to creating a healthier and more prosperous Africa. In close collaboration with Kenya’s Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation, and other stakeholders, we developed the National Sanitation Management Policy. APHRC led the process for Kenya, making it the first African country to develop a policy in line with the African Sanitation Policy Guidelines (ASPG), developed by the African Union through the African Ministers Council on Water (AMCOW), and SDGs. The lessons learnt in Kenya are being applied to other countries to progressively strengthen the policy environment for WASH on the continent.

A crucial pillar of our work includes fostering political engagement and ownership. Often the best solutions start at national level and their success leads to uptake on a regional level. An exploration of the policy environment for prevention, control and management of cardiovascular diseases in primary health care in Kenya led to the Center making a number of notable contributions to the design and revision of national health policy frameworks, in Kenya and Mozambique, including the Kenya National Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases (2015-2020).

Through our platforms and relationships and with the help of our partners, we ensure that policy makers work with researchers, and contribute to concrete actions for health and development in the region. Working in partnership with the Kenyan Ministry of Health, the Center inaugurated the second-ever human milk bank in a sub-Saharan African country in order to help ever-larger numbers of women meet the WHO recommendations of six months of exclusive breast milk for babies. An adolescent-focused project geared towards understanding the barriers to access to a range of family planning and contraceptives for young people, contributed to the development of national health policies in Kenya and provided lessons in policy-relevant evidence generation at the regional level during the convening of the Network of African Parliamentary Committees of Health (NEAPACOH). At the county level, we are engaging Turkana and Samburu counties on a co-created longitudinal study to improve the nutrition surveillance systems in arid and semi-arid lands. This work will inform interventions on persistent and acute malnutrition in the region.

"A crucial pillar of our work includes fostering political engagement and ownership."

"The Center remains one of the few African research institutions engaged in evidence generation on responding to the growing needs of more than 60 million people in Africa, over the age of 60."
