Just wrapped up the #ARSH Regional Research Grants Writing Workshop (Aug 25-29, 2025) organized by @aphrc

A transformative 5-day journey on building strong & fundable research proposals.

Truly empowering for early-career researchers in Africa. 🌍🚀

[APHRC @aphrc]

This week, #IamAPHRC is hosting its Regional Research Grants Writing workshop in Dakar. The event brings together early and mid-career researchers from West and Central Africa to strengthen their skills in developing competitive research proposals through expert guidance, peer reviews, and interactive sessions.

The workshop is part of the Afrique Research Support Hub (ARSH) program, which builds regional expertise to train, mentor, and support African researchers in securing international grants. By strengthening research capacity, ARSH is helping amplify African perspectives and advance knowledge for sustainable development.

That's a wrap on the #GEM2024 conference!

What an incredible three days filled with inspiring connections, learning, and a vibrant exchange of ideas on the latest developments in malaria genomic epidemiology.

Be sure to follow us to continue the conversation & stay connected✨

A new report shows getting back on track to cutting #Malaria by 90% by 2030 could generate an extra $31bn in trade to Africa. G7 countries will benefit too with exports rising by $4bn.

We can save millions of lives and boost economies. #EndMalaria
