Open access is a powerful solution to the barriers that researchers in developing and transition countries face. ‘The Open access: knowledge sharing and sustainable scholarly communication in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda project’ was created to educate researchers and students about changing scholarly communication landscapes. The project advocates for the adoption of open-access policies and mandates by funding agencies, universities, and research organizations. It also builds capacities to set up open-access repositories and to publish open-access journals.
