Hi Anelda, Great to see this thread and happy to help if I can. Maybe some of the Kenyan folks, who attended the Data Carpentry workshop in 2015 in Nairobi, might be potential helpers or instructors.
Rwanda: Prosper Karame, Rwanda Medical Research Centre - Rwanda Biomedical Center, Regulatory Affairs Senior Officer Kenya: Lawrence Monda ICT Mgr, National Museums of Kenya (both cc'd) for contact in case of interest in pursuing this.

They were both very interested in bringing the Carpentries to Uganda (where they are both based) but also broader to their network. Is there anyone in this community who is interested to work with them to get a Carpentries workshop off the ground to start off with? I know there are often international instructors already collaborating with various countries on the African continent and was hoping we could capitalise on an existing network/collaboration and expand on that. (Also copied Daniel Ouso and Prof Patrick Weke from Kenya in the hope that there can be cross-fertilisation between Kenya/Uganda). Looking forward to hearing from interested people.
