Abstract
The generation of biomedical research data on the African continent is growing, with numerous studies realizing the importance of African genetic diversity in discoveries of human origins and disease susceptibility. The decrease in
costs to purchase and utilize such tools has enabled research groups to produce
datasets of significant scientific value. However, this success story has resulted
in a new challenge for African Researchers and institutions. An increase in
data scale and complexity has led to an imbalance of infrastructure and skills
to manage, store and analyse this data
