Collaboration for sustainable open access publishing in Africa | EIFL

"EIFL, AJOL (African Journals Online) and WACREN (the West and Central African Research and Education Network), with funding from Wellcome, have launched a three-year project that will develop and deliver a participatory funding approach to strengthen the quality and sustainability of African diamond open access (OA) publishing while maintaining its diversity. Diamond OA means that authors and readers pay no fees to publish or read articles. 

The project will also strengthen national and regional collaboration on diamond OA and seek to secure funding commitments from African governments and institutions by embedding support for diamond OA in open science policies."
