Annual Report

Lighting the Way for Africa

“The lighthouse is not the
destination, but the silent witness
guiding you to your own shores.”
— Kahlil Gibran

Introduction

The Center’s 2024 Annual Report theme, ‘Lighting the Way for Africa,’ envisions a lighthouse that emits an intense beam of light visible from afar, warning vessels of hazards like rocky coastlines, shallow reefs, or narrow harbor entries. In essence, a lighthouse is a guide; similarly, APHRC, a leader in African research and policy, is a guiding force that generates evidence, leads critical conversations influencing national, continental, and global agendas and has taken a leadership role in strengthening the Research and Development (R&D) ecosystem on the continent.

Remarks by the Board Chair and the Executive Director

APHRC continued on a strong trajectory in 2024 in leading evidence generation and use on the African continent and beyond.
