This paper offers a reflective, practice-based synthesis of two decades of co-created research, policy engagement and advocacy at the African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC).We define co-creation through four dimensions; shared agenda setting, joint knowledge production, power sharing, and community leadership and ownership. We distinguish it from consultation, stakeholder engagement and partnership, and assess each dimension on a graded scale. To this we add a second axis: the reach of co-creation across the research-to-policy-to-advocacy interface, and the condition of the transitions between its segments. Six cases spanning evidence generation, policy processes, capacity strengthening and rights-based advocacy are assessed against both axes. Three findings emerge. Co-creation in this institution\u2019s practice is substantive where knowledge is produced and weak where authority is held. Agendas were substantively shared in four of six cases and financial resources in none. It fails at the transitions between research, policy engagement and advocacy rather than within them, at moments that were neither designed nor evaluated nor recorded. And the domains of co-creation differ systematically in the dimensions they can realize, with community leadership substantive only in rights-based advocacy. We draw practice guidance on governance, funding, community roles, transitions and assessment, and state what a single-institution insider synthesis cannot establish.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pgph.0007405","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,30]],"date-time":"2026-09-30T17:34:32Z","timestamp":1790789672000},"page":"e0007405","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pgph.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Co-creation in research, policy engagement and advocacy: Lessons and limits from two decades of practice at the African Population and Health Research Center"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9370-3500","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Emmanuel Oloche","family":"Otukpa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"International programs, African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) Campus","place":["Nairobi, Kenya"]},{"name":"Health Systems Strengthening Hub, Institute of Healthcare Management, Strathmore University","place":["Nairobi, Kenya"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdhalah K.","family":"Ziraba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International programs, African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) Campus","place":["Nairobi, Kenya"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6006-2698","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Luchuo Engelbert","family":"Bain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International programs, African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) Campus","place":["Nairobi, Kenya"]},{"name":"University of Oxford","place":["Oxford, United Kingdom"],"department":["Nuffield Department of Women\u2019s & Reproductive Health (NDWRH)"]},{"name":"University of Johannesburg","place":["Johannesburg, South Africa"],"department":["Faculty of Humanities, Department of Psychology"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"pgph.0007405.ref001","article-title":"Co-creation in public health research: Basic principles","year":"2024","journal-title":"Public Health Res Pract"},{"issue":"1","key":"pgph.0007405.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"60","DOI":"10.1186\/s12874-025-02514-4","article-title":"Co-creation methods for public health research - characteristics, benefits, and challenges: A Health CASCADE scoping review","volume":"25","author":"DM Agnello","year":"2025","journal-title":"BMC Med Res Methodol"},{"issue":"2","key":"pgph.0007405.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3222211","DOI":"10.17061\/phrp3222211","article-title":"Co-creation, co-design, co-production for public health - a perspective on definition and distinctions","volume":"32","author":"C Vargas","year":"2022","journal-title":"Public Health Res Pract"},{"key":"pgph.0007405.ref004","volume-title":"Public economy organization and service delivery","author":"E Ostrom","year":"1977"},{"key":"pgph.0007405.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.4324\/9780203413845-6","article-title":"The idiom of co-production.","volume-title":"States of knowledge: The co-production of science and social order","author":"S Jasanoff","year":"2004"},{"key":"pgph.0007405.ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bj\u00f6rgvinsson E, Ehn P, Hillgren P-A.
