Join the implementation science community this November in Abuja!

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.

About NISA and the 2024 Conference Vision

The 2024 conference is NISA’s 10th Annual Conference is being held in collaboration with the Nigeria Implementation Science Alliance (NISA) and the 10th Annual NISA Conference. NISA was started as a collaboration among United States PEPFAR-supported implementing partners, research universities, and policy makers to enhance the quality of health care through implementation science and research.

The Annual NISA Conference showcases more than 60 abstracts representing more than 50 organizations across the health care sector to an audience of 200 implementation science professionals. To celebrate the 10th conference 2024, NISA and GIS have teamed up to expand our conversations around implementation science and work across borders to close the research to reality gap.

The 2024 conference invites implementation researchers, practitioners, professionals, and students to reflect on efforts to close the gap between research and practice with special attention to the practitioner’s experience. This is an opportunity to not only expand your global implementation science network, but to build and develop critical skills necessary for quality improvement. We encourage implementation science professionals from all sectors to submit an abstract and attend this unique implementation science conference!
