From 24–26 June 2026, DataSculpts conducted a three-day data management training in Libreville, Gabon, bringing together Data Managers, Principal Investigators, and Study Coordinators from Gabon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and Cameroon. The training was coordinated by the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine (BNITM) under the eWHORM consortium as part of its commitment to strengthening research and data management capacity among consortium members.

The programme combined practical and technical sessions covering key areas of clinical research data management, including Data Management Plan (DMP) development, data harmonisation using CDISC standards, and hands-on database development using REDCap and ODK, alongside other essential data management topics.

The interactive training provided participants with practical skills and tools that can be directly applied to their ongoing and future research activities. Through hands-on exercises, discussions, and knowledge sharing, participants strengthened their understanding of good data management practices while gaining practical experience in developing and managing research databases.

For DataSculpts, the training reflects our commitment to building sustainable data management capacity and supporting research teams across Africa with the expertise, tools, and practical skills needed to generate and manage high-quality research data. The successful collaboration with BNITM and the eWHORM consortium highlights the value of investing in local capacity to strengthen the quality, consistency, and efficiency of clinical and public health research.
