Dissemination of research findings is one of the cornerstones of a good researcher. A key avenue for many researchers to disseminate research findings is through publications. The workshop will capacitate researchers and academicians with best practices, methodologies, and technology-powered tools to produce high-quality academic and grant-based manuscripts. This is part of AFREhealth’s efforts to support and increase publication output from its members

Introduction
Medical education often occurs in silos with minimum collaboration among schools. This duplication of effort can be wasteful, particularly during a global pandemic. We will discuss the development of a novel shared medical curriculum exchange platform that can empower a global community of educators to democratize access to quality education even in limited-resource countries, promote interprofessional education, and help address the international shortage of healthcare workers.
We will describe our early experiences in developing a shared educational community of practice at the University of Global Health Equity in Rwanda and how this may inform future directions in scaling shared, open-access education in Africa.

Introduction
A well-written scientific paper explains the scientist's motivation for doing an experiment, the experimental design and execution, and the meaning of the results. Scientific papers should be written in a style that is exceedingly clear and concise. Their purpose is to inform an audience of other scientists about an important issue and to document the particular approach they used to investigate that issue.
What participants may expect from this webinar:
1. Writing a scientific paper
2. Practical tips for scientific writing

Introduction
AFREhealth, an interprofessional organization, exists to improve health and living conditions (social determinants) that affect populations in Africa. Professionals celebrate the impact of their work-related achievements. However, different groups use the concept differently, necessitating clarity in what we mean by impact.
This AFREhealth virtual workshop will provide the opportunity to take a step back and carefully reflect on how we use the word, impact, and how the use and focus appeal to the wider communities we serve. What benefits do the people we serve wish to obtain from our work? Our audience will range from the people we serve, government and civil society leaders, funders like foundations, NGOs, and philanthropists who wish to support our work.

This session will be a moderated panel of experts and will focus on the climate crisis with specific strategic opportunities for African nations. Financial frameworks from the recent African Climate Summit and Assembly of the Global Environment Facility will be discussed. The intersecting roles of universities, African governments and high-income countries stakeholders to identify research gaps of known high-impact interventions and challenges to implementation will be covered. Specific advantages that African countries have in providing solutions will be addressed.
This session aims to provide an overview of strategic opportunities to address the climate crisis with a focus on African nations. Participants will better understand research gaps in high-impact interventions, the challenges policymakers have to implementation, and the natural advantages of some African contexts.
