With the GRM, we want to underline the potential of different countries in producing their own research and development. We hope that this map will encourage the establishment of regional joint research capacity, and help identify major actors, trends and important investigational subjects at the regional and national level. This tool could also help donors, agencies and digital health actors explore specific areas for investment and development.
