Language and
Regional Groups

The AMMnet Francophone Language Group connects French-speaking members to share knowledge, access resources, and actively engage in the network. Co-led by Dr. Abdourahamane Diallo (Guinea) and Dr. Carmène Ngadjeu (Cameroon), the group fosters collaboration and creates opportunities for learning and participation.

Members take part in a wide range of activities—regular meetings, webinars, trainings, and workshops—many of which are available on the AMMnet YouTube channel. An active WhatsApp group also provides space for timely updates and peer-to-peer exchange. The group works closely with AMMnet committees and contributes to the network’s annual meetings.

To better serve members, the Francophone group is organized into three subcommittees:

• Local Chapters Support – strengthens Francophone chapters through organization and networking
• Virtual Events – develops and delivers online seminars, hackathons, and trainings tailored to Francophone members.
• Representation & Global Engagement – ensures Francophone voices are represented in AMMnet’s global strategies and initiatives.

Since its creation, the group has hosted numerous virtual seminars on malaria modeling, supported the development of local chapters, and organized scientific workshops and symposia.

If you’d like to join the Francophone group or contribute to a subcommittee, please contact info@ammnet.org and the Secretariat will connect you.

The AMMnet Lusophone Group brings together members from Portuguese-speaking malaria-endemic countries to help break down language barriers, facilitate access to resources, and create opportunities to share knowledge, experiences, and expertise in malaria analytics and modeling.

The group is in the early stages of development and has already begun building its community through webinars and an AMMnet Analytics Skills Lab (formerly known as the AMMnet Hackathon), providing opportunities for members to connect and develop technical skills. Looking ahead, the group aims to expand opportunities for learning, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing and to support the development and operation of AMMnet local chapters in Lusophone countries. Future activities may include additional webinars, workshops, scientific events, and other community-led learning opportunities focused on malaria analytics and modeling.

The group continues to build its community and create opportunities for members to connect, collaborate, and share information and resources. A WhatsApp group provides an informal space for ongoing exchange, while Dr. Baltazar Cá from Guinea-Bissau leads the development of the Lusophone Group.

If you’d like to join the AMMnet Lusophone group or become more actively involved, please contact the Secretariat at info@ammnet.org.

The AMMnet Asia-Pacific group provides opportunities for members across Asia-Pacific time zones who are interested in applied malaria modeling, analytics, and related fields, to connect, share knowledge, and exchange experiences.

Established in 2025, the Asia-Pacific group has developed a range of activities, including a webinar series scheduled at times that are convenient for members across the Asia-Pacific region. The group also supports and promotes open-access, community-led training in data analytics, modeling, and related technical skills through AMMnet’s Analytics Skills Lab (formerly known as the AMMnet Hackathon).

The Asia-Pacific Group will continue to develop opportunities for learning, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing that reflect the interests and needs of members across the region.

If you are interested in contributing to the group or would like to be added to the email list, please contact the Secretariat at info@AMMnet.org.
