	Regional F2F SENAP 2019 «Innovations for health» Venue: Nairobi, Kenya, 9th – 12th April 2019 This year’s regional F2F focused on “Innovations for health”. Experiences have shown that innovations in health, and other sectors have played a key role in the decisive advances that saved and improved millions of lives in recent years. To maintain but above all to continue these advances, a clear agenda and vision of innovation is needed in order to fully tap into the potential and human capital available. However, what is innovation? From a development perspective, an innovation is a new solution with the transformative ability to accelerate impact. Where inadequate practices slow progress, more effective and relevant approaches must be found. The future therefore depends on our ability to innovate to accelerate progress. In this sense, the SENAP division has set itself innovation management as a priority for the period 2018-2019, resulting in various new approaches piloted and initiated in our bilateral work. The regional F2F health builds on these developments and experiences to further increase our impact as well as relevance, by focusing on how as a SONAP team can we use innovation to make health systems more efficient, resilient and sustainable.
