Resources
H3Africa aims to foster a collaborative atmosphere between African scientists. In fostering this collaborative atmosphere, H3Africa has created this resource area where the Africa scientific community can obtain information about other African scientists that are currently undertaking population-based research in several areas of the continent.
These resources will be updated periodically to engender collaborative research in areas of mutual interests for all scientists. Other resources and suggestions for a web-based resource are strongly encouraged.
