Showcasing African Neuroscience.
Six African countries were represented at the two day virtual Showcasing African Neuroscience meeting in November 2021: Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania and Tunisia. An additional three half-day workshops were held in December 2021 and January 2022 to explore key themes identified at the initial meeting and to develop the strategy outlined in this article.

A route map for advancing African neuroscience.
The overall goal of the Showcasing African Neuroscience initiative is to strengthen the neuroscience research community in Africa towards an ultimate vision of optimised neurological and mental health. There are four key priorities (left-most column), and indicators will be used to assess progress against these key priorities over three phases. The hub-and-spoke network model is a key driver of the inititiative. The project is also relevant to 10 of the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations.
