The Science for Africa Foundation (SFA  Foundation) Board and management are delighted to share this five-year strategy which provides a blueprint for how the SFA Foundation will operate and serve the African  research  ecosystem from  2023- 2027.

These results were produced at the AAS where the GC Africa programme was implemented with the  support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

Youth* is a distinct phase of life involving a complex journey of transition from childhood to adulthood that encapsulates a mix of personal, social and environmental factors which ultimately serve to shape our mental health...

Every journey begins with a single step. Three years in, we have made huge strides in our transformative agenda for African science. We are excited to share our 2023 Annual Report that details our journey so far. Huge thanks to our board and partners & grantees for their support!

Community and Public Engagement (C&PE) with Science provides a vital tool to rebuild relationships of mutual trust, respect and appreciation between researchers and communities.

Where capacity gaps hinder the equitable uptake of research opportunities, researchers and research funders are increasingly integrating capacity-strengthening initiatives into their projects and programmes. This Quick Guide for Researchers provides access to the latest evidence and best practice in this field.

Having elicited the advice and expertise of researchers around the world, the authors offer a concise definition of research capacity strengthening and identify the central principles underpinning the concept.

They then indicate how research projects can be set up to ensure that capacity-enhancing activities are well designed, implemented and evaluated.

Relevant case studies and a detailed checklist provide practical insights from existing and recent research projects.
