We are training, empowering and supporting African scientists in communications to increase their visibility and that of their work to a local, regional, and global audience inspiring the African and global scientific community, and rapidly solving problems with knowledge and evidence that is publicly disseminated.

The CJ Fellowship is mainly focused on building the leadership of experts whose portfolios span across transformative sciences, networks, experience, and skills to boost the health and Research & Development (R&D) sectors in their specific communities. Fellows have also demonstrated their abilities to design and partner in projects with key local and global partners and mobilize key institutions in their countries.
