- Leverage the research infrastructure in the US to add value

| Guiding Principles |
- Build on existing efforts: Focus on leveraging existing activities and coordinating pre-existing networks, not on creating anything new.
- Develop research capacity while integrating research and education: Efforts in Africa must integrate research and education, and will not be successful if they don’t contribute to developing local research capacity.
- African Solutions for African Problems: The issues addressed should arise from an needs defined by local institutions, and focus on developing and enabling long-term strategies led by those institutions.
