🤝At ECSA-HC, we believe that fulfilling our regional mandate, mission, and vision is impossible without robust scientific evidence. To transform healthcare, we must first document what works.

The Director General Dr. Ntuli Kapologwe, ECSA-HC officiated the Regional HEPRR-MPA Manuscript Writing and Peer Review Workshop today, expecting to run from 2nd – 6th March 2026.

He reminded the team, "Scientific evidence is the key to unleashing the potential of implementation science. Scalable interventions in our region can only be shared and turned into life-saving action when there is published, peer-reviewed evidence to back them up."

This week-long activity is happening in the beautiful coastal city of Mombasa, Kenya.

Supported by the World Bank-funded Health Emergency Preparedness, Response and Resilience (HEPRR) Program, implemented in close collaboration with IGAD, this scientific writing workshop ensures our efforts toward health security are unified and far-reaching.

It was a busy but productive week in Mozambique for the Mozambique Health Emergency Preparedness Response and Resilience (HEPRR-MPA) program! 🇲🇿

The Mozambique team, alongside the project team from ECSA-HC, successfully wrapped up an intensive 5-day Baseline Assessment. This wasn't just a meeting, it was the groundwork for setting benchmarks for regional health security, now that Mozambique has joined as the 11th project country.

We spent the last five days diving deep into strategy and operations to ensure the program hits the ground running:

✅Operational Targets: We’ve set clear, actionable goals to guide our immediate response and long-term planning.

✅Tracking the Journey: We established the baseline needed to follow up on program milestones, ensuring transparency and accountability at every step.

This exercise officially marks Mozambique’s entry into a vital 11-country regional project dedicated to health security across East and Southern Africa, with support from the World Bank, implemented in collaboration with IGAD.
