STREPP Bridging Research to 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 HIV 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 services. 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 cohort generating robust evidence on pediatric and adolescent HIV treatment. UPART focuses on designing, testing, and refining interventions in real-world clinical settings, so that health facilities across Uganda—and ultimately Africa can deliver evidence informed, effective, scalable pediatric ART programs.
PAHLCA
PAHLCA unites Ministry of Health teams from over 30 African countries. Participants share peer best practices, address policy barriers, and learn hands-on how to integrate evidence-based HIV care into national programs—all through collective knowledge exchange and implementation science frameworks.
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.
