Strengthening Research Ethics Capacity in West Africa, 2015-2024.
This article reviews the development and evolution of Fogarty International Center-funded research ethics training programs in West Africa over the past decade. In response to local and global challenges in bioethics and biomedical research, these programs are fostering ethical awareness, shaping local and national ethics review systems, and enhancing bioethics capacity in the region. These efforts have expanded alongside increased democratic governance, technological advances, and significant increases in global research funding and international research collaborations, particularly related to HIV/AIDS and malaria. We believe that the West Africa Bioethics (WAB) Training Program in Nigeria played a central role in this growth, serving as a model for subsequent programs in Ghana, Mali, and The Gambia. This paper describes the nature, successes, and challenges of these programs. It also outlines an agenda and strategies for future work to enhance research ethics and bioethics capacities in the region, both in terms of education and governance.
