WACREN

This online workshop taking place on August 19, 2020 at 11:00 - 13:30 UTC is part of the objective in AfricaConnect3 to establish a framework to guide the development of Open Access Repositories (OARs) and Open Access Journals (OAJs).

Due to the numerous calls pointing to error notifications received while applying online for the two advertised positions: NOC Engineer and Project & Procurement Officer, WACREN has changed the procedure.

In the framework of the AfricaConnect3 (AC3) project funded by the European Union and to leverage the power of communication to meet NRENs operational and organisational needs, WACREN has committed to provide support for NRENs in its region.

The task is to support two (2) NRENs per year to develop their communication and visibility capacities so that they can court the cooperation and support from relevant stakeholders in their respective jurisdictions.
