“Promoting Men’s Health through Community–Researcher Collaboration.”
The 3rd Gugulethu Community–Researcher Indaba brought together researchers, health practitioners, and community members to address the realities of men’s health in South Africa.
Hosted through a collaboration between the Movement for Change and Social Justice (MCSJ) and the University of Cape Town (UCT) under the Building Research in Inter-Disciplinary Gender and HIV through the Social Sciences (BRIDGES) programme, the Indaba highlights the power of partnership in advancing community-based research and public health advocacy.
🌍 Why This Matters
Men in South Africa — particularly in the Klipfontein sub-district — continue to experience disproportionately high levels of disease and mortality due to TB, HIV, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, substance abuse, and violence-related injury.
This Indaba focused on:
- Raising awareness around men’s health and wellbeing,
- Strengthening local community–researcher networks, and
- Exploring collaborative solutions for long-term health equity.

South Africa suffers from high levels of hunger, food insecurity, and obesity — all of which are consequences of the country’s broken food system. We support the digital promotion of the web series and related advocacy campaigns.
Together with heala.org and cmt.org.za, we've managed to support exposure, engagement and petition sign-ups to support stronger warning labels on food packaging and a stronger health promotion levy.
