Speak Up Africa's African Voices of Science collaborates with established scientists, researchers, and health experts to generate an open public discourse on key health challenges and solutions across the continent. Through African Voices of Science, leading African scientists are communicating about the benefits of medical research and innovation, and the impact of global health crises such as COVID-19, sharing these crucial messages through traditional media, social media, and events.

By amplifying credible voices who can speak up for research and development and shift the narrative on COVID-19 in Africa, the initiative aims to reinforce the importance of increased investment in the Research & Development sector while building trust in health innovation.

More than a dozen scientists with specialist expertise in a broad range of health issues from across Kenya, Nigeria, Mali, Senegal, and South Africa are participating highlighting topics ranging from COVID-19 vaccine trials to emerging new research in infectious diseases. African Voices of Science also provides a platform for experts to share their own research and development innovations with the wider public.
