ERPAAN — Emerging Researchers and Professionals in Ageing/Aging African Network — is a pan-African community of scholars, clinicians, policymakers and advocates committed to improving the lives of older people across the continent.
Founded in 2017, we operate on the conviction that African perspectives must be central to global conversations on ageing. Our members span 10+ countries globally and represent a diverse range of disciplines — from physiotherapy and medicine to sociology, economics and public policy.
We are a non-profit, volunteer-led network governed by an elected executive committee and board of directors.
