ORCID-WACA led by
West and Central African Research and Education Network (WACREN) will drive ORCID adoption across West and Central Africa by training 15 ambassadors and engaging 1,000+ researchers, librarians, and staff through multilingual outreach, technical support, and workshops. Leveraging eduID.africa, NREN infrastructure, and regional networks, the project will establish a strong Community of Practice and lay groundwork for a shared Integration Hub to scale adoption, support institutions, and promote equitable participation aligned with the GPF.
