Guided by a project advisory board, key informant interviewsand community conversations informed the content of African MaDE: Memory and Dementia Education, by and for the African community. This presentation will describe the community engagement approach used to pilot test African MaDE with the community and pre-post evaluation. In addition to the primary partner, the team leveraged its network to collaborate with community organizations to host education sessions for 187 unique attendees at 11 events in person and remotely. Of these, 77 participants completed pre-and post-dementia knowledge questions. Most (55) attendees were first-generation (born outside the United States) . Most of these participants were neither current nor past care partners and had never provided care for a person living with dementia in a professional capacity. Preliminary findings show a statistically significant 0.9-point improvement in dementia knowledge from pre- to post-education. Qualitative comments also reveal that participants appreciate the presentation and content. African MaDE is feasible and acceptable to the African community. We are currently using a community-engaged approach to conduct large-scale dissemination of this program. In addition to describing our process, we will present lessons learned in this community-engaged education development that can inform the development of similar programs in other communities.  \nAbstract citation ID: igaf122.550  \nPARTNERING WITH THE COMMUNITY TO DEVELOP  \nAND PILOT TEST A CULTURALLY TAILORED  \nDEMENTIA EDUCATION PROGRAM  \nManka Nkimbeng1, Truphosa (Posa) Aswani2, Wynfred Russell3, Tetyana Shippee4, and Joseph Gaugler4, 1.
