GIC 2024 with NISA

Join the implementation science community this November in Abuja!

GIS and the Nigeria Implementation Science Alliance are proud to be partnering together to bring you Driving Change: Everyday Implementation is chosen as the theme for 2024 to emphasize the day-to-day relevance and impact of implementation science. This theme underscores the importance of making the principles and practices of this field accessible, practical, and beneficial in routine settings. It recognizes that for real change to happen, it must occur not just in conference halls and academic papers but in the very fabric of daily life. By focusing on “Everyday Implementation,” GIS anticipates:

 

  • Increased Practical Engagement: Encouraging practitioners, policymakers, and the public to integrate implementation science into daily decisions and actions.
  • Broader Understanding and Application: Demystifying the field and showcasing its relevance across various contexts and communities.
  • Strengthened Commitment to Change: Inspiring individuals and organizations to commit to continual learning and improvement in implementing effective practices.

Through these objectives and the unifying theme of “Everyday Implementation,” GIS sets the stage for a year of meaningful engagement, significant growth, and impactful change in the field of implementation science.
