How will the project contribute to capacity development in Africa?

GenCoE aims to build genomics expertise within Africa by ensuring that the sequencing and data processing are conducted on the continent. Part of the GenCoE-PAGRA African WGS Moonshot project includes training in WGS data analysis, and providing support for African investigators to perform their own analysis expeditiously. Additionally, the GenCoE leadership will facilitate collaborative projects with the Sample providers to analyse the complete dataset. These collaborative projects will include mechanisms for capacity development. PAGRA are committed to supporting the development of platforms to ensure storage of the WGS data in Africa and research access by African investigators.
