📅 Date: Wednesday, 1 April 2026

This event celebrated African creativity, resilience, and values‑led innovation in evidence‑informed decision‑making (EIDM).

Participants explored the challenge’s purpose, learned how to apply it, and heard inspiring stories of innovation under constraints.

With bilingual access in English and French, the session affirmed that innovation is multilingual, diverse, and rooted in African realities.

This was a great opportunity for members to prepare for their submissions, connect with peers across Africa, and contribute to a collective journey to recognise principled practice.

Submissions close on 29 May 2026, with recognition at Africa Evidence Week 2026.
