Summary

The Research Training program "Eneza Data Science: Enhancing Data Science Capability and Tools for Health in East Africa" will build on existing and new partnerships in data science, enabling system thinking across disciplines in clinical practice, health research and policy in an integrative approach. ICIPE will lead the program together with Aga Khan University, with partners in Kenya (USIU Africa and Pwani universities), and internationally (including University of Michigan and Open Pharma Foundation) to enhance data science skills so that information in raw and often disparate data can be harnessed for healthcare improvement. The Eneza Data Science project aims to empower clinicians, health personnel, health researchers, and data science researchers with open science skills and tools to turn data into meaningful insights for better health, building on collaborations developed through the Human Heredity & Health in Africa, and the UZIMA DS-I Africa project hosted at Aga Khan University (Kenya) to 1) build a robust research and training platform, 2.) enhance data science knowledge, and 3.) build skills in data science in Kenya and the East Africa region.
