 African Dreams
Santuah Niagia (pictured on the left) traveled to Cuenca, Ecuador, in July to present his prize-winning paper on “Innovative Strategies for Bridging Health Inequality Gaps” at the Second People’s Health Assembly, convened by the People’s Health Movement. This paper, which Niagia submitted for the African Dreams Essay Competition 2004–2005, was based on his work for the Navrongo Health Research Centre (see above). His essay won first prize, including a cash award that allowed him to deliver his paper in person. The meeting provided an opportunity to share the Navrongo experience with other activists in health-related sectors worldwide. Nearly 1,400 participants from 80 countries attended the conference. Niagia’s essay in its entirety is available at www.popcouncil.org/africa/santuah.html. (Return to issue contents)
