DASH Network: Strengthening Adolescent Health Research in Sub-Saharan Africa

   
The DASH Network (Design and Evaluation of Adolescent Health Interventions and Policies in Sub-Saharan Africa) is a collaboration of public health research institutions from seven Sub-Saharan African countries and Germany, along with partners from the U.S. and Tanzania. Funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research through the RHISSA initiative, DASH aims to strengthen research capacity, foster African and African-German collaboration, and translate findings into policy and practice. It was launched as part of the second RHISSA funding phase in 2023, alongside other health-focused research networks.
