The President of the Pan African Parliament (PAP)
Fortune Charumbira, welcomes FAIR Open Science, stating that ``African Science needs recognition. Africa needs to project itself correctly and embrace its own culture and context in science. To achieve this, data ownership in Africa is of great value. The collaboration with all partners in science and services, in a fair and open way, is necessary, so that it advances Africa to be recognised for what it has to offer.``
