Looking forward to presenting at this conference with Prof. Monica Magadi on our research with partners in Nigeria @FAYOHI @AMSarki and Kenya @FOnukwugha

In 2015, it was estimated that less than 1% of the global output of scholarly articles came from Africa. Here's what we've learned over the past decade while working with African orgs and universities to develop the next generation of African academics.

An interesting paper by @belindaarch and @francisannan shows how adverse news drove rejection of routine vaccines in Nigeria: What do Pfizer's 1996 drug trials in Nigeria teach us about vaccine hesitancy? https://t.co/qTWoDpA1mt via @BrookingsInst

This great photo essay from @UNICEFGhana shows the incredible lengths health workers go to to reach every child despite the challenges posed by #COVID19. Proud of @Gavi's work to support those efforts, which includes providing 2,343 vaccine fridges!

These are extremely useful findings and certainly researchers from both the Global South & North will benefit from these. There is a dire need for cost-reductions for OA otherwise many researchers in the Global South will continue to be disenfranchised.

We are excited to have our WASH UP! initiative with @WorldVision featured in @HandwashingSoap’s Handwashing Handbook that launched today! This resource will serve as an important tool for years to come and will ensure #HandHygieneForAll. Learn more: https://t.co/gtleBRpe8A

We are really pleased to share that this new report into #OpenAccess in #LMICs is published today. It was a fascinating project to work on. Many thanks to all who were interviewed, completed the survey, participated in focus groups and fed back at various stages of the research.

"Building islands of excellence is not enough. What we need is a knowledge system that includes every voice and fosters every talent." Read @johnyounginasp's blog on @LSEImpactBlog:

Congrats to the Team on yet another output from our School-based Health Promotion Project and we are looking forward to the 16th World Congress on Public Health organised from 12-16 Oct 2020 by the European Public Health Association @EUPHActs to rally behind @OxBUMP #WCPH2020
