This month, we feature a significant milestone for the Africa Evidence Network (AEN) – the establishment of the AEN Council of Chairs, which enhances strategic leadership and accountability.

We also feature the Alliance’s Health Systems 2050 initiative, which examines global trends shaping health systems, with a focus on people-centred, equitable approaches.

Siziwe Ngcwabe shares her reflections on leading the Africa Evidence Network for eight years, discussing community, leadership, growth, and lessons for future leaders in this month’s blog post.

We also keep you abreast of the latest EIDM opportunities, academic journal articles, and upcoming evidence events.

We welcome and encourage your contributions to the AEN newsletter and blog! To share your work or interesting stories from your country or organisation on either of these platforms, send an email toinfo@africaevidencenetwork.org.
