Dates: 09 – 11 June 2026
Location: Nairobi, Kenya
Organised by the Population Council’s GIRL Center, the African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC), the African Institute for Development Policy (AFIDEP) and the National Council for Population and Development (NCPD)
The Evidence to Impact Symposium: Shaping Adolescent-Centered Policies and Programs in Eastern and Southern Africa aims to bridge the gap between evidence, policy, and program implementation to improve the well-being of adolescents, particularly girls in Eastern and Southern Africa. It will bring together researchers, policymakers, civil , society, youth organisations, and funders to transform evidence into action for adolescents.
Adolescents’ lives are shaped by interconnected health, education, social, economic, and political factors, further complicated by digital change, climate impacts, and humanitarian challenges. These realities require responsive, evidence-driven solutions that reflect their lived experiences. There is an urgent need for policies and programs that are evidence-based, accessible, and grounded in adolescents’ realities.
