Three people sit together at a meeting table, looking at a red laptop and discussing something on screen. All three are wearing headscarves and conference lanyards. One person points toward the laptop while the others watch closely. A dark text box overlays the lower part of the image. The text reads: “An Africa-led roadmap for action: The publication presents an AfricaBP theory of change focused on five key opportunity areas to help turn biodiversity genomics into measurable conservation outcomes across the continent.” The phrases “Africa-led roadmap,” “AfricaBP,” and “conservation outcomes” are highlighted in yellow.
A researcher wearing a lab coat, face mask, and blue gloves works inside a laboratory hood or enclosed workstation with racks of tubes. The image is partly viewed from behind, and another person is faintly visible in the background. Dark text boxes overlay the top and bottom of the image. The text reads: “Building an Africa-led genomics future. This is about more than data. It is about data sovereignty, scientific capacity, ethical governance, and ensuring benefits flow back fairly to African countries and communities.” A second text box reads: “AfricaBP is also calling on partners to help deliver this roadmap.” The phrases “Africa-led genomics,” “AfricaBP,” and “to help deliver this roadmap” are highlighted in yellow.
This is a roadmap for building scientific capacity, strengthening data sovereignty, and helping ensure the benefits of genomic research flow back fairly to African countries and communities.
