Following the MoU between GOSC IPO and AICID (African Institute for Capacity Development), the China-Africa cloud federation focuses on promoting open science through the Africa Open Science Platform Eastern Africa Node (AOSP EA Node) hosted at AICAD, and the establishment of the GOSC regional node in Kenya for East African SDGs monitoring, prediction and decision making to support SDGs implementation. The partnership aims to strengthen regional collaboration in network connections, infrastructure accessibility, and the flow of data, tools, and knowledge in the GOSC community. Furthermore, the collaboration will amplify the influence of both parties on the broader global open science landscape, contributing to innovative and sustainable solutions for shared challenges, particularly the UN SDGs and others.
