The Joseph S. Agyepong Distinguished Lecture on Public Health in Africa provides a platform for the Harvard University Center for African Studies to explore topics related to public health in Africa by engaging leaders, policy makers, researchers, and academics around Africa's health and development goals. Through this lecture, the Harvard Center for African Studies contributes to a global repository of knowledge, develops actionable solutions for policymaking, and inspires new directions in academic research. The lecture series builds upon an existing CAS research initiative in Climate Change, Agriculture, Nutrition, and Health, which convenes scholars from across Africa and Harvard University to evaluate current data and policy interventions, develop innovative collaborative research projects, and convene working groups in recognition of the ongoing changes in global climate that threaten agriculture and human health across the globe.
