AIRID AT MODHA 2026: ADVANCING AFRICAN-LED HEALTH MODELLING

From 26 to 28 October 2026, the Modelling for Health in Africa (ModHA) Annual Meeting brought together researchers, policymakers, implementers and partners in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, under the theme “Learning from within ModHA.”

Mr Francis HOUEHA and Mr Luc Fiacre KOUDERIN represented AIRID, exchanging experiences with fellow network members and exploring how health modelling can strengthen evidence-informed public health decisions across Africa.

AIRID’s OPTIMVEC project, led by Dr Corine Ngufor, is part of the ModHA network, connecting our research with a wider community working to strengthen modelling capacity and translate scientific evidence into policy and practice.

Bringing together 12 collaborative projects and more than 110 members across over 15 African countries, ModHA provides a valuable platform for peer learning, collaboration and African-led approaches to public health challenges.

AIRID is pleased to contribute to this shared effort, building partnerships and advancing research that supports better health decisions in Africa.

AIRID — Bold Science. African-Led. Impact-Driven.
