For many colorectal cancer survivors, completing treatment is only one milestone in a much longer journey. This #ResearchWednesday, we spotlight a @StrathU study revealing the challenges that persist after cancer treatment. Among 40 survivors who participated: 💰 83% reported lasting financial concerns. 💭 63% feared cancer recurrence. 🩺 59% experienced significant fatigue and pain. Led by Prof. Bernhards Ogutu of CREATES and fellow researchers, the study calls for stronger survivorship care within Kenya's Universal Health Coverage system, including coordinated follow-up, psychological and nutritional support, rehabilitation and better financial protection. Surviving cancer should not mean navigating recovery alone. The end of treatment should mark the beginning of supported recovery, not the end of essential care. 🔗 Read more: strathmore.edu/news-articles…

Africa's AI governance gap is under scrutiny. Africa is developing AI strategies, but putting effective, enforceable governance frameworks in place remains a challenge. Meet Prof Bitange Ndemo, former Ambassador of Kenya to Belgium and the European Union, whose experience at the intersection of diplomacy, technology, and innovation brings valuable perspective to the continent’s AI future. If you're a policymaker in the AI space, join Prof. Ndemo at the 5th (#GDSAISummit) to learn from his insights and ask the questions that need to be asked.

This #ResearchWednesday, we celebrate @StrathU's selection as one of six Kenyan institutions in the Google.org-funded Africa AI Upskilling Programme. Through Strathmore School of Computing and Engineering Sciences (SCES), five AI Champions and five Teaching Assistants will help equip students with practical AI skills, from neural networks to responsible innovation. The lingering question is, 'Will Africa simply consume AI, or help create its future?' At @StrathU, we believe Africa's AI future should be built here.

Deeply grateful to @ForeignOfficeKE and every institution that built the infrastructure for #TheTrustSummit2026. Rebuilding global order takes more than declarations, it requires an unyielding coalition across governments, multilateral bodies, tech, private sector, civil society, and regulatory leaders.
