Conference Overview

We wish to invite you to the 5th Annual Scientific Conference of TICH. This year’s conference will be held concurrently with the 10th anniversary celebrations of TICH.

Conference Theme:

“The transformation approaches to Health and Development in Africa”

Sub-themes:

1. Sub-theme 1: Health Systems Development and Management
2. Sub-theme 2: Human Resources Development and Management
3. Sub-theme 3: Community Based Development and Management

Why the conference?

This conference will address the gap in translating knowledge into practice by providing a forum for:

• Sharing innovations, success stories to inform future approaches on Community Based approaches to Health and Development
• Create effective awareness of obstacles to application of what is known
• Sharing on how to contextualize imported or imposed models for intervention.
• Define effective packages for action in Community Based Approaches
• Identifying effective approaches that yield results
• Suggesting relevant policies to provide enabling environment for scaling up innovation and programs.

What will be different?

This conference will differ from the conventional paradigm of conferencing by:

• Creating multi-voice sessions in order to capture experiences from different communities e.g marginalized groups etc
• Addressing deficiencies in research to policy
• Focusing on the quest for practical, proven and effective solutions
• Focusing on failure of access to core groups to find practical solutions
• Providing policy briefs from conference innovations.
