Cancellation: 15th H3Africa Consortium Meeting Nairobi, Kenya 8-16 March 2020

Dear 15th H3Africa Consortium Meeting Delegates,

We regret to announce that in light of the uncertain nature of the COVID-19 outbreak and security risks, the 15^th H3Africa Consortium Meeting has been cancelled. Our leadership has made this difficult decision based on reports shared by Consortium experts, Principal Investigators and meeting participants as well as various Government Agencies. While it is important to continue to share our science and foster collaborations, the leadership took this decision with consideration for the safety of our attendees, our families and communities.

We will reconvene the Agenda WG this Thursday to determine which parts of the 15^th Meeting Agenda we may adapt to a webinar format, we will keep you updated and assess attendance.
