The network considers the opportunities of data science for economic potential, especially for Africa\u2019s youth and the need for education and training in this area. It was further considered that the options of application in the context of digital health and other areas of digital development are vast and that the IFDS may provide a good foundation for its sustainable development.<br \/>\nA team of African experts is available to carry this endeavor and that adequate political support could be garnished to help bring this initiative to life.<br \/>\nThe network seeks to bring together African expertise, from within the African continent in all its diversity, and in the diaspora, in collaboration with colleagues from other parts of the world, with the explicit objective to strengthen the lead African scholars, decision-makers and practitioners in the global network of implementation for an internet of FAIR data and services on the African continent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Main purpose and objectives<\/strong><br \/>\nThe IN-Africa will aim to learn from other GO FAIR Implementation Networks and align with the FAIR principles, but will equally seek to enrich the global Network with its exploration, findings and conclusions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Overarching Principle of Operation<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Africa GO FAIR Implementation Network commits to comply with the Rules of Engagement of GO FAIR Implementation Networks<\/p>\n<p><strong>Targeted Objectives of the IN-Africa<\/strong><br \/>\nEstablishing an open, overarching network for implementation of the FAIR-principles of a machine and human readable IFDS, based within the principles of African philosophy and inclusiveness, serving African science, supported by African governance of data, data ownership, protection and security, and linking African science to the global FAIR community based on practices and\u00a0 experience.<br \/>\nThe topics will be handled by ten working groups, set out in the Activity Plan (linked below). The work in the IN-Africa may lead to new implementation networks within this range of sub-areas or outside this range into new areas.<br \/>\nProgress in work group 3.
