The African research software community needs your help with growing awareness of the importance of research software and the people who develop it, shaping the funding landscape and influencing policy. 

Please share what you know about stakeholders in the African research software landscape e.g:

- funders

- research groups with a strong focus on research software development

- training programmes and providers

- research software projects

- communities of practice.
