Taking the next step: in June, the STAIRS Sierra Leone team underwent evidence-informed decision training hosted by Njala University. Facilitated by AFIDEP, EIDM trainings help to maximise key stakeholder engagement on advancements expected in sepsis research in Africa over the coming years.

And we keep climbing. In May, also the STAIRS Mozambique team underwent evidence-informed decision training in Maputo. Facilitated by AFIDEP, EIDM trainings help to ensure optimal policy exchange and research transfer of evidence generated by STAIRS across the continent.

The first training on evidence-informed decision making (EIDM) was conducted by AFIDEP with the Walimu Team in Uganda. This year, EIDM training will be conducted across all sites of the network to optmize policy exchange and maximise the network’s research impact.

Led by Dr. Emmanuel Nsutebu, president of the Africa Sepsis Alliance, STAIRS directors and PIs were honored to meet Dr. Raji Tajudeen at Africa CDC on December 15, 2023.

The first annual consortium meeting of the STAIRS consortium in Addis Ababa was graciously hosted from December 11-15, 2023, by Deputy Scientific Officer and STAIRS PI in Ethiopia Dr. Tafese Beyene Tufa, together with his strong team from Arsi University in Asella. A clear motto: #keepclimbing.
