The ICFP Power Shifting Subcommittee invites you to this power shifting session ahead of the ninth African Population Conference (APC) in Lilongwe, Malawi. This pre-conference will create a space for participants to exchange experiences to help us all improve our practices when it comes to equity in the work we do.

Shifting power in the fields of demographic research and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) is an ongoing process globally. It entails individuals and organizations testing new models, putting revised practices in place, and striving toward a better ideal of how work gets done.
