G20 Side Event
Hosted by the DAC Brain House
NOVEMBER 4TH AND 5TH, 2025 i JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA
We are pleased to announce an exclusive event in Johannesburg, South Africa, alongside the G20 Health Ministerial and G20 Joint Finance and Health Ministerial Meetings.
The event will be held at the Radisson Blu Hotel, a short distance from Johannesburg International Airport.
Co-hosted by The Brain House and convened by the Davos Alzheimer's Collaborative (DAC), this gathering will center on accelerating Africa’s response to the growing challenge of Alzheimer’s disease, related diseases and brain health.
As Africa’s population continues to age, the urgency to develop sustainable, scalable solutions has never been greater. To bring these strategies to life, leaders from the DAC-led Africa Task Force on Brain Health will present key insights from the upcoming publication, Strategic Framework for Strengthening Africa’s Brain Health and Economic Resilience.
About the Africa Brain Health Framework
The Africa Brain Health Framework, is a collaborative initiative designed to address Africa’s urgent brain health needs. This strategic framework, developed by experts across the continent, emphasizes six priority areas: enhancing brain health advocacy and literacy, positioning brain health as a driver of socioeconomic transformation, breaking down data silos, repurposing existing resources, innovating tech-enabled community solutions, and strengthening funding mechanisms. The plan is guided by a multisectoral task force that
includes representatives from all five African geopolitical zones, ensuring a
comprehensive, context-specific approach to brain health challenges.
Invitations and additional details will be forthcoming.
