The Children’s Nursing Educator Forum exists to sustain and grow the community of practice of children’s nursing educators in southern and east Africa. Since 2016 members of this community have been sharing information about training programmes in the region. In 2020 this information has moved to the Open Science Framework as part of a collaborative initiative to establish the Africa Children’s Nursing Workforce Observatory, making the work of children’s nursing educators in Africa visible. The raw information provided using this form will be visible to Forum members only. Reports giving a picture of training activity in the region will be created and shared with Forum members for checking and approval before being made publicly available. Any questions about this process can be put to Natasha North, Research Programme Director at The Harry Crossley Children's Nursing Development Unit, University of Cape Town natasha.north@uct.ac.za
