STREPP: Supporting Translation of Research & Evidence based intervention into Policy & Practice
Mobilising UPART, IPHASA & PAHLCA across Africa to end AIDS in children by 2030 through collaboration, capacity-building, and implementation science.
Research to Action for Impactful Child and Adolescent Health Solutions
Translating Evidence into Practice, Advancing Child and Adolescent Health Care in Africa through Policy, Partnerships, and Practice
At the heart of STREPP lies the mission to end AIDS among children by 2030 by bridging the critical gap between research and practical, real-world application across the African continent. Through its three flagship programs—UPART, IPHASA, and PAHLCA—STREPP is fostering a movement where evidence becomes impact.
UNITING KNOWLEDGE & IMPLEMENTATION
At STREPP, we unite knowledge and implementation through collaboration with key stakeholders to transform pediatric and adolescent health care. Through our three core initiatives—UPART, IPHASA, and PAHLCA—we foster local and continental solutions that save lives, strengthen systems, and drive sustainable change.
uPART
A dedicated observational paediatric HIV cohort generating robust evidence on pediatric and adolescent HIV treatment. UPART uses existing facility-level electronic medical records in real world settings, to inform evidence based implementation, so that health facilities across Uganda—and ultimately Africa can deliver effective, scalable pediatric ART programs.
PAHLCA
PAHLCA brings together Ministry of Health teams from over 30 African countries, who lead the implementation of paediatric and adolescent HIV programs. Participants share best practices to foster learning, innovation and to address policy and Implementation barriers. Through implementation science capacity building, participants learn hands-on, how to integrate evidence-based HIV care into national programs.
IPHASA
This biennial symposium gathers researchers, policymakers, practitioners and development partners from across the continent. IPHASA isn’t just a conference. It’s a platform where African researchers share their research findings, have their capacity built in implementation science, and have access to research grants, to address programatic gaps in their respective countries.
