In 2026, the Ifakara Health Institute commemorates 70 years of scientific excellence and public health impact under the theme "70 Years of Impact."

About The Celebration

This is a strategic, year-long celebration running from January to November 2026. More than a commemoration, the anniversary is designed as a forward-looking platform to reflect on past achievements, showcase current innovations, deepen stakeholder engagement, and mobilize resources for future impact.

Anchored in Ifakara's rich legacy, ranging from insecticide-treated nets and malaria vaccine trials to health systems strengthening, AI-driven surveillance, and One Health innovations, the celebrations highlight how evidence generated at Ifakara has consistently translated into policy change and improved health outcomes.
