@aojsoft4real can you provide some information on what skills/experience you're looking for in a co-lead/helpers from the community? If I have some details, I can better judge whether I would be able to help, or otherwise reach out to others if I know someone who I think might be more suitable.

Hi @aojsoft4real , the organising committee reviewed this session proposal and had this to say:

This proposal on mapping places to find research conducted by Africans on various topics in Africa is definitely useful. This session can attract more people to the session by adding a few details on what will be presented and how participants will be involved in the breakout. A link to the project or similar might be a good addition

We are looking forward your session, and more details i.e. around scheduling will be shared with you in the coming days. Let me know if I can answer any questions or clarify anything for the time being.
