BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//TERMINALFOUR//SITEMANAGER V7.3//EN VERSION:2.0 BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20200930T140000 LOCATION: DESCRIPTION:The 91¿´Æ¬Íø School of Public Health, with partners will host this conference on decolonising health systems in Africa. The conference foregrounds African people as experts, and provides an opportunity for scholars to discuss solutions to the health systems challenges faced on the African continent. This convening seeks to do that in the area of African Health Policy and Systems Research (HPSR) by making space for scholars and practitioners to build collective capacity to engage in critical decolonial scholarship with the aim of envisioning socially just health systems on the continent. 
This conference is provided as a space for an African conversation that will begin to build solidarity across countries, regions and contexts, breaking down colonially-imposed divides to reorient African knowledge, realities and people, lifting these up as valuable and legitimate knowledge bearers able to shape the field on the continent and beyond.
