    Reclaiming Control: Advancing SRHR for Young People at AHAIC 2025 On Tuesday, I had the honor of speaking at the Africa Health Agenda International Conference #AHAIC2025, contributing to a powerful panel discussion on “Reclaiming Control: Let’s Talk About Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (#SRHR).” #SRHR remains a deeply stigmatized issue in many African communities, limiting access to essential services and information—especially for young people. During the session, I shared insights on two key areas: 1?? Breaking the Stigma Around #SRHR Stigma is one of the biggest barriers to SRHR. To foster more supportive environments, I highlighted key approaches such as: ? Community-Led Dialogue: Engaging parents, faith leaders, and educators to reshape narratives. ? Edutainment & Digital Storytelling: Using social media, film, and digital platforms to normalize SRHR discussions. ? Youth-Centered, Non-Judgmental Services: Ensuring that young people can access confidential, inclusive, and stigma-free SRHR care. ? Policy & Legal Reforms: Advocating for laws that protect young people’s rights to comprehensive sexuality education and healthcare. 2?? From Beneficiaries to Decision-Makers: Youth Leadership in SRHR Young people must be at the forefront of SRHR advocacy—not just as consumers of services but as leaders shaping policies. I emphasized: ?? Participation in Policy & Decision-Making Spaces – Youth must actively engage in national policy dialogues and advisory boards. ?? Owning the Digital Narrative – Using social media and digital platforms to amplify youth voices and challenge stigma. ?? Co-Designing SRHR Programs – Young people should be involved in designing policies and services that directly affect them. ? Building & Strengthening Youth Movements – Sustainable change happens through collective advocacy and intergenerational partnerships. ?? SRHR for young people is also an important area of focus within the Digital Transformations for Health Lab, especially in the Digital-First Health System Consultations. We are exploring how digital innovation can transform access to SRHR and ensure young people are not just beneficiaries but active architects of their health systems. I’m grateful for this opportunity to engage with brilliant minds and passionate advocates working to advance SRHR across the continent. The future of SRHR in Africa depends on bold, informed, and empowered youth leadership. ?? How can we work together to dismantle stigma and strengthen youth leadership in SRHR? Let’s keep the conversation going! Gaitano Ndalo Bitania Lulu Berhanu Steve Ougo #AHAIC2025 #SRHR #YouthLeadership #ReproductiveHealth #EndStigma #NothingForUsWithoutUs #DTHLab

    ????The 3rd Annual Healthcare Federation of Nigeria Conference & 10th Anniversary celebration was a truly inspiring experience! This year’s theme, "Transforming Nigeria through Innovation, Partnership, and Sustainability to Expand Access to Quality Healthcare," perfectly captured the vision needed to elevate Nigeria’s healthcare system to new heights. The Digital Transformations for Health Lab team was pleased to be part of this monumental event, and beyond the amazing connections and shared smiles, it’s thrilling to witness Nigeria’s progress in healthcare. The Presidential Initiative for Unlocking the Healthcare Value Chain (PVAC) is already making remarkable strides, with key achievements like: ??Prioritizing value chains including Rapid diagnostic tests, Nutrition, Active pharmaceutical ingredients, Vaccines, SRH, MNCH etc. ??Driving ecosystem enablement interventions through the President's executive order to improve ecosystem for manufacturing, Clinical trials ecosystem and Tech transfers. ??Mobilizing financial resources through the Bank of Industry, European Investment bank financing mechanism & Alexim bank financing mechanism. ??Building a strong pipeline of bankable projects Central themes revolved around: ? Harnessing technology and innovation to revolutionize service delivery. ? Building Nigeria’s healthcare manufacturing base by focusing on locally made medical goods for self-sufficiency. ? Strengthening the healthcare ecosystem through effective governance and equitable healthcare delivery, powered by public-private partnerships. ? Championing policies that promote Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and expand healthcare access for all. A remarkable highlight of the conference was witnessing Njide Ndili, DTH-Lab’s Founding Member, step into the role of HFN President! Her leadership will be pivotal in advancing private-sector contributions to Nigeria’s healthcare transformation. It was also great spotting features of our Executive Director Aferdita Bytyqi’s last strategic visit to Nigeria on the conference branding.? As Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi so wisely said: “When the public and private sectors prioritize investment in health, innovation, provision of social safety nets and education, they create thriving, healthy communities. Health is wealth and wealth is health.” Looking forward to the road ahead and the immense positive impact HFN will continue to make in Nigeria’s healthcare future! Benjamin Babine

  • ?? Youth Co-Creating the Digital Transformation for Health! Last week, 30 youth leaders from across Europe came together at the Council of Europe Youth Centre in Budapest for the #DigitalCitizenshipForHealth study session, co-organized by DTH-Lab and the International Youth Health Organization. Over five days of thought provoking discussions, innovative brainstorming and co-creation spaces, participants explored how young people can build a generation of digital citizens for health who have the necessary knowledge, skills and opportunities to shape health policy. Speakers including David Novillo Ortiz, (WHO EU), Louise Holly (DTH-Lab), Ilona Kickbusch (DTH-Lab), Lee Hibbard (Council of Europe) and Sandra Cortesi (Technical University of Munich) shared invaluable insights on digital determinants of health, the digital transformation of health and the current geopolitical context. The group addressed pressing questions around digital access and skills, human rights and health equity and civic participation. Key takeaways from our journey: ?? Education & Skills: Youth seek interdisciplinary learning in digital, health and civic spaces. ?? Policy Engagement: Young people want to be connected to policy makers, actively shaping health policies. ?? Community Matters: Digital spaces help, but in-person connections remain vital for youth. ?? AI & Human Connections: Technology is evolving, but it cannot replace empathy and shared values. The energy, creativity and commitment from these young changemakers reaffirm the importance of partnering with young people in shaping a future built for all.
