Training that turns research into public health impact
Africa's public health challenges need more than classroom learning. The Africa Sea of Knowledge for Bridging Gaps (ASK4BG) gives future public health leaders, research scholars and policy makers flexible, high-quality training across disciplines.
The aim is to put research outcomes and innovations to work: eliminating neglected tropical diseases, improving policies for adolescent and youth health, strengthening community engagement, and developing drugs, diagnostics and practices that reach people.
Promoting Research for National Development (R4ND) is one of our core objectives.

How learning works here
- Short video lessons
- A few minutes each, split into chapters, taught by researchers in the networks.
- A checkpoint after every module
- A quick test that unlocks the next module when you pass.
- The exact minute to rewatch
- Miss a question and you are sent to the part of the video that covers it.
- Study notes for every module
- Written notes for each idea, linked back to the video.
- A certificate you earn
- Issued when you pass every checkpoint in a course.
