Giving visibility to investigations developed by African and diaspora scientists is essential not only to inspire new generations, but also to demonstrate that our science can directly support better public health strategies, more informed policies, and the sustainable development of our beloved African continent.
Our work seeks to generate data that truly reflects African populations and realities, helping to bridge important gaps while reinforcing the importance of including African voices, expertise, and communities in the scientific process.
We strongly believe that empowering science across the continent is one of the most powerful ways to promote equity, strengthen institutions, and create long-lasting impact for future generations.
Thank you, RTP África and Nha Terra Nha Cretcheu!

Some of us have just returned from an incredibly rewarding journey, carrying a true sense of mission accomplished!
More than ever, we feel deeply grateful for the opportunity to develop impactful initiatives through Diáspora Mundi and the strong partnerships we have built over the years.
Every experience reminds us that when purpose and vision come together, real change becomes possible!
And yet, there is still so much we want to discover, learn, and build... not only personally, but collectively, alongside all those who believe that a better future is created when people unite around shared values and meaningful actions!
This is only the beginning... stay tuned because there is much more to come... 😉

Proud to share that the Founder of Diáspora Mundi, Raffaella Gozzelino, has been recognized, for the second consecutive year, among the World’s Top 2% Scientists: the annual global ranking developed by Stanford University and Elsevier, based on objective measures of scientific impact and citation frequency.
This recognition goes far beyond individual achievement.
It reflects a lifelong commitment to advancing knowledge as a moral responsibility, where research serves not prestige, but people, illuminating the paths of equity, sustainability, and human dignity.
Through Diáspora Mundi, this mission is being translated into action: leveraging education and science to empower African communities, strengthen local capacity, and ensure that excellence in research serves humanity as a whole!

It feels like just yesterday we were standing in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, witnessing a moment that marked a turning point in our collective journey!
On those days, vision met action!
With the unwavering support of global partners, among which Diáspora Mundi, a powerful movement of transformation began, ADWIN, the African and African-descendant Women Impact Network, led by Élisabeth Moreno and co-founders Prescillia Avenel and George-Axelle Broussillon Matschinga.
An extraordinary gathering of African and African-descendant Women came together, from all continents, to celebrate their success stories, establish meaningful connections, and courageously relate the systemic challenges they continue to face.
Too often, structural barriers limit the access of Africans and African-descendants to quality education and opportunities for skill development. Too many walk their paths without the guidance of qualified mentors, who can equip them with tools to navigate a global reality, where race, gender, and geography shape their professional opportunities. Access to adequate healthcare and well-being support remains unequal. Financial systems continue to exclude rather than empower. Also, many Africans and African-descendants still grow up disconnected from the rich wisdom and cultural heritage of their civilizations.
In Abidjan, under the high patronage of Mrs. Dominique Ouattara (First Lady of the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire), Mrs. Sassou Nguesso (First Lady of the Republic of Congo), and Mrs. Débora Katisa Carvalho (First Lady of the Republic of Cabo Verde), and in the esteemed presence of Her Majesty Queen Temitope Morenike Enitan-Ogunwusi, a historic milestone was accomplished. This landmark gathering was achieved by the close collaboration established between ADWIN and key national leaders: Minister Euphrasie Kouassi Yao, Minister Nasseneba Touré, and the Mayor of Cocody, Jean-Marc Yacé. The event was enriched by the participation of numerous strategic allies, such as Compendium des Compétences Féminines de Côte d'Ivoire (COCOFCI), La Puissance du Lien, AI Crafters, and Diáspora Mundi, among many other visionary organizations, each contributing to the shared mission of empowering African and African-descendant women, globally.
On those days, we reaffirmed our commitment to pursue common goals: uniting our strengths to co-create impactful solutions, serving as a bridge that connects diverse communities across the globe, and catalyzing a worldwide movement advocating inclusive and systemic transformation.
Thank you to the entire ADWIN team for your commitment to reshape the global landscape!
