STREPP: Supporting Translation of Research & Evidence based interventions into Policy & Practice, drives translation of evidence-based practices into routine program implementation to improve child and adolescent healthcare across Africa. We build bridges between research findings and practice, and we equip emerging public health leaders with tools to change outcomes.
Transforming Evidence into Action: Advancing Child and Adolescent Health in Africa through Policy, Practice & Partnerships
What we do
- UPART : Generates evidence-based interventions to strengthen pediatric and adolescent HIV treatment programs.
-
IPHASA : A homegrown pan-African conference sharing pediatric HIV research and implementation science methods. Includes implementation science capacity building and research grant support for young African researchers. -
PAHLCA : A peer-led platform uniting Ministry of Health teams, policymakers, implementers, researchers, civil society, PLHIV from 30+ countries to exchange best practices and building peer-to-peer communities of practice. Features a Ministry of Health focal-person directory and a best-practice guide
Advancing Pediatric & Adolescent HIV Care in Africa
We are living in an era where we now have the knowledge, evidence-based interventions, tools and most of what we neet to implement pediatric and adolescent health programs efficiently, and to provide quality HIV care. The biggest challenge has been the lack of knowledge and skills to translate what we know works into practice. To address this gap, STREPP has started three initiatives for the African continent:
The Uganda Pediatric ART (UPART) cohort to generate evidence-based interventions to improve pediatric and adolescent HIV programs; the International Pediatric HIV/AIDS Symposium for Africa (IPHASA) to provide a platform for stakeholders conducting pediatric and adolescent HIV research to share their findings; the Pediatric and Adolescent HIV Learning Collaborative for Africa (PAHLCA) for Ministry of Health teams from over 30 African countries who lead paediatric and adolescent HIV programs and their respective stakeholders to share experiences and best practices. We have integrated implementation science capacity building in the IPHASA and PAHLCA meetings, to equip participants with knowledge and skills to translate evidence-based interventions into policy and practice. Through the IPHASA meeting, we provide young African researchers with research grants to put into practice what they learn through the implementation science capacity building sessions.Join and support us to end AIDS in children by 2030, and to improve the quality of health of children and adolescent on the African continent..
