As Kenya prepares for another El Niño season, the often-overlooked impact of flooding on mental health and well-being remains a critical concern.
This week, #IamAPHRC shared findings on how extreme weather events affect mental health and well-being among vulnerable populations in Africa, with stakeholders from Nairobi and Kisumu counties in a dissemination and brainstorming workshop.
The participants identified practical, evidence-based, and policy-aligned actions to better integrate mental health into flood preparedness, climate adaptation, and disaster response in vulnerable urban communities.

Great to see @MADIVA_DSI colleague Dr Phelelani highlight, at the #DSIAfrica Consortium event, an Africa-led solutions for integrating genetic and health data to help understand multimorbidity risk among African Population #Multimorbidity #madiva – at Republic of Mauritius
Connecting with @DSI_Africa colleagues around the globe this week at the annual DS-I Africa Consortium event. Dr Phelelani Mpangase, below, and other members of the MADIVA team presented some of the great work currently in play at Monday's networking event.
Showcasing Africa's unique data resource profile on multimorbidity at @DSI_Africa! Our research enables evidence-based policy & care for Africans living with multiple NCDs #Multimorbidity #NCDs #DataDriven #madiva #aphrc – at Republic of Mauritius
I am happy to be participating in the DS-I Africa Data Bootcamp in Mauritius. Diverse area of expertise of participants. #madiva, #dsiafrica, #aphrc – at Republic of Mauritius
Just wrapped up an incredible experience at the DS-I Africa Data Bootcamp in Mauritius! Uncover the mystery of ML models with hands-on explainability. Empowered with skills to turn data into impact! #madiva #aphrc #DSIAfrica #DataScience #ML @agnes_kiragga @DKadengye @maina_d – at Republic of Mauritius

Excited to have participated in the #AfricaCDC validation workshop for the HIE Maturity Assessment Tool. We delved into the core domains, components, and measurement scales, ensuring the tool is ready to drive impactful health information exchange across the continent. @aphrc
Ethical AI discussion was really important and timely.
The APHRC's Data Science Without Borders (#DSWB) project team visited Douala General Hospital in Cameroon. The visit aimed to harness the hospital's extensive electronic health records for data exploration and collaboration.
#DataForHealth #WeAreAfrica
Insightful discussion! Looking forward to the implementation of the ideas.
@isammygh @EkinBolukbasi @MTC_Brown1 @wellcometrust @AmelGhouila @DKadengye
The continental oversight from
@AfricaCDC is crucial for successful implementation
and scale up in Africa.

"As much as we need data, we also need to include the primary users who are often left out of the process. There is a need to deliberately co-create implementation processes & acknowledge everyone's role in generating & processing data." @ElvisTmel
