WAHO DRIVES A NEW REGIONAL MOMENTUM FOR HEALTH KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AND SHARING IN WEST AFRICA
The West African Health Organisation (@OoasWaho) organised a Regional Capacity-Building and Training of Trainers Workshop for the West African Health Information and Documentation Network (#WAHIDN) from 14 to 18 July 2026 in Lomé, Togo.
The workshop brought together archivists, librarians, health information specialists and resource persons from ECOWAS Member States to strengthen the sharing of documentary resources and improve access to health information across the region.
The workshop enabled participants to acquire practical skills on the new WAHIDN Common Database, developed on the DSpace platform, as well as on document harmonisation techniques, metadata standards, indexing, interoperability and documentary research tools. Particular emphasis was also placed on the opportunities offered by digital technologies and artificial intelligence to enhance the visibility and accessibility of scientific health research across the ECOWAS region.
Among the workshop's key achievements were the finalisation and adoption of the revised WAHIDN Statutes and Rules of Procedure, the establishment of a regional pool of trainers, and the development of a roadmap to accelerate the deployment of the Common Database in Member States. Participants also made recommendations aimed at promoting regional open science policies, strengthening the capacities of health information professionals, and increasing the visibility of research produced in West Africa.
Participants also carried out demonstrations of the ROADIS portal and the #WAHIDN platform, which will enable member institutions to share their documentary resources through a common regional infrastructure, thereby facilitating the circulation of scientific knowledge and strengthening collaboration among ECOWAS Member States.
At the close of the workshop, @OoasWaho reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Member States in deploying the WAHIDN Common Database, strengthening the capacities of health information professionals, and promoting open science to support evidence-informed health policies and further strengthen health systems across the region.
39 years of regional cooperation, protecting every community
From disease surveillance to emergency response, @OOASWAHO has consistently supported a united regional approach to public health.
Because no country should face health challenges alone, we remain committed to stronger solidarity, shared responsibility and collective resilience.

We were honoured to welcome @BillGates Gates to the @CmulNigeria where he reviewed impactful clinical trials and implementation science research projects coordinated by CCTRIS.
He also participated in a hands-on session exploring AI-enhanced intrapartum monitoring devices.
Today, we celebrate the power, strength, and dreams of the girl child and applaud the ones who encourage, support, and uplift the girl child.
Girls’ visions for the future are valid! Your goals are achievable, and the future is yours to create!
