Creating an African biomedical research community through a social network

Within the AFRICA BUILD1 (AB) project, we have created two communities through a collaborative environment based on Web 2.O tools. The first one is dedicated to the development of a social network for African biomedical researchers; the second one is focused on e-learning, with more than 100 African researchers currently improving their knowledge on HIV/AIDS and Reproductive Health Research through the tools and knowledge shared through the AFRICA BOUILD Portal
