Insights and recommendations of African stakeholders on biocontrol technologies for malaria control
Who we are - A collective of African scientists, researchers, managers, and health champions driving inclusive conversations on new health technologies.
African Conversations is a collective of African scientists, researchers, managers, and health champions driven by a shared belief that, for any new and emerging technologies for disease control to succeed, every voice must be heard openly, honestly, and without restriction. Through this platform, we elevate the diverse voices that shape Africa's future; from the vibrant energy of the youth, the hard-earned wisdom of elders, the guidance of religious, political, and traditional leaders, and the critical insights of scientists, academics, regulators, and policymakers; all united by one goal: to lighten the burden of disease and create a healthier, stronger Africa for generations to come.
To promote inclusive and informed conversations that elevate diverse voices, foster understanding of new and emerging technologies, and inspire collective action for better health outcomes.
A future where every voice shapes the development of health innovations, creating technologies that are relevant, trusted, and transformative for communities across Africa.
Currently, we have engaged stakeholders from 25 African countries, but we continue to grow organically, expanding across borders, languages, and cultures. Our aim is to foster inclusive dialogues on health innovations, amplify local voices, and bridge the gap between science, policy, and everyday lives.
We take time to gather and amplify facts and strategies from experts and policymakers, lived experiences, questions, and challenges from communities, personal stories that offer insight, empathy, and connection.
We bring together the people who matter; those who develop innovations, those who use it, and those who live its consequences. We create respectful, inclusive conversations between technology developers, researchers and scientists, policymakers and institutions, communities, families, and individuals.
We prioritize the voices often left out of health conversations including community members, youth and school children, women, teachers and frontline workers.
We keep our audience informed by sharing research findings, scientific breakthroughs, updates on disease trends and health risks, policy shifts, ethical guidelines, and regulatory changes.
