We are delighted to be welcoming ten new signatories to the Africa Charter, primarily from Guinea-Bissau.
The institutions, a mixture of universities, NGOs and other agencies, signed up to the principles of the Charter at the Bissau-Guinean conference on Transformative Research collaboration (Congresso Bissau-Guineense de Colaborações transformadoras de pesquisa), held on 14th December in Guinea-Bissau.
We are very grateful to Professor Carolin Overhoff Ferreira of the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) and Dr José Lingna Nafafé of the University of Bristol for running this conference, and also for speaking about the Africa Charter on a popular Bissau-Guinean radio programme.
The new signatories to the Charter are mainly based in the City of Bissau (Guinea-Bissau):
