Working together to advance data science education, research, and health outcomes in Rwanda and across Africa.
DST-HIRWA is supported by a powerful network of institutions committed to health data science in Africa.
Partner institutions co-develop curriculum, co-mentor trainees, and jointly certify program graduates.
Research priorities are collectively identified to ensure all projects address Rwanda's most pressing health data needs.
Trainees benefit from mentors across all partner institutions, gaining diverse perspectives in data science and public health.
Partnership structures are designed so that Rwandan institutions gradually take full ownership of the program.
