The theme for the 2025 Elrha Research Forum is “Bridging Global Health Research and Humanitarian Response in a Climate-Impacted World”. The three day event, held in Nairobi, Kenya between 7-9 May 2025,  will be co-hosted with the African Population Health Research Center (APHRC)

The Forum will bring together researchers from academic institutions, particularly those from low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) affected by crisis, humanitarian organisations and practitioners, and other key actors in the sector. The Forum will serve as a platform for dialogue, collaboration, and knowledge exchange, exploring pressing humanitarian challenges, and the role of research evidence and equitable partnerships in addressing these.  

The objectives of the Forum are:

  1. Galvanising action on evidence gaps for climate-induced health impacts
  2. Shifting power to lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs)
  3. Promoting research quality, ethics, and impact
  4. Fostering collaboration and partnerships
