Africa Day, which will be held on the fourth day of the seventh Global Conference on Health Promotion, is a day dedicated to the conference hosts to demonstrate realistically, Africa's health promotion achievements and showcase the cultural features that set it apart from the rest. Although health promotion is still relatively young on the continent, there is emerging evidence of health promotion effectiveness that could be shared for up-scaling the lessons learnt and influencing health promotion practice in the region and globally.
