About

As the data sharing lead for HDRWA (https://hdrwa.org), we are developing a pan-African platform that facilitates secure, ethical, and compliant access to research data. Built with African research priorities in mind, HDRWA enables FAIR-aligned data sharing, metadata curation, and governance oversight.

We invite collaborators—research institutions, data stewards, funders, policymakers, and technical partners—interested in building sustainable, African-led data sharing ecosystems. Let’s work together to enhance visibility, access, and impact of African health research data.
