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.
