…a new individual! Reda Elnady joined the Africa Evidence Network (AEN) because he deeply believes that evidence is the true engine of transformation across our continent. Africa holds immense potential — rich in talent, innovation, and resilience — but to turn this potential into sustainable progress, we must build decisions on knowledge, not assumptions. That’s what AEN represents to Reda: a movement that turns research into real impact.
For too long, Africa’s development conversations have been led by others. Reda believes it’s time for Africans to lead their own narrative — guided by data, collaboration, and the lived experiences of their people. Joining AEN is his way of standing with thousands of professionals who share one mission: making evidence accessible, actionable, and influential in every policy and community decision.
Through AEN, Reda hopes to contribute his experience in innovation, sustainable development, and social impact. He wants to learn from others, share best practices, and co-create new ways to use evidence to improve lives. The Network provides a unique platform to connect with researchers, policymakers, and changemakers who are not only passionate but also determined to build a more equitable and evidence-informed Africa.
To Reda, AEN is more than a network — it’s a family of thinkers and doers shaping Africa’s destiny through truth and collaboration. He joined to be part of that vision, where every decision is informed, every policy is impactful, and every African voice counts.
“Together, we are not just sharing evidence — we are shaping the future.”
