This is a really interesting discussion. From my experience, I think it’s both technical and structural.SEO, site speed, mobile experience and good content definitely matter, but factors like domain authority, backlinks, digital infrastructure and how algorithms interpret regional content can…

Rhoda, this is an important and timely question. My view is that the challenge is both technical and structural, but the structural barriers often determine how much benefit we derive from technical improvements.From a public health and research perspective, one…

Rhoda Nakhosi started the topic African Websites: Invisible by Design or Neglect? in African Website Visibility
@All, We all know the struggle, African content that just doesn\'t rank or reach its audience. But I want to ask:
Is this a technical problem (SEO, hosting, speed) or a structural one (domain authority, algorithm bias, infrastructure)?

A few things I\'m chewing on:
i) Do global search algorithms favour certain regions over others?
ii) Does hosting locally hurt us more than it helps?
iii) Are we writing for local or global audiences—and can we do both?
For those who\'ve been at this a while:
i) What\'s your biggest barrier?
ii) What has actually worked?
iii) What do you wish you\'d known earlier?
Let\'s share what works not just what frustrates us.

Gaelle, your work with Shomea resonates strongly, early diagnosis and rehabilitation work, especially for a niche population like newborns and school-aged children, faces a visibility challenge I suspect is similar to ours at Purpose Rwanda: highly specialized, deeply important work…

Hi everyone. I am Dr. Gaelle Vofo, an ENT Surgeon and Founder of an NGO called Shomea in Cameroon. Our main focus of interest is early diagnosis and rehabilitation of hearing and vision in newborns, school-aged children, and other high-risk populations. We also have projects to digitalize and mentor orphans.

I am happy to be part of this group.

million started the topic Saying a little about the reality in African Website Visibility

Hello everyone,

I am pleased to have participated in the recent website visibility workshop—it was truly insightful.

A little about me: I hold an MSc from Adama Science and Technology University and currently serve as a Lecturer, Dean of the Computing College, and a Full-Stack Web Developer at Madda Walabu University. With strong expertise in Laravel and React.js, I am passionate about making a meaningful impact on Africa’s tech ecosystem.

At the moment, I am at a crossroads between two opportunities:

  1. Dedicating my time and skills to modernizing university systems for maximum efficiency.
  2. Exploring external business opportunities, which offer fewer budget constraints compared to university projects.

To APHRC and my colleagues reading this: We aim to develop the university website, journal platform, e-learning system, and more. However, given the university’s limited budget and strict financial policies, who is willing to support us financially?

I look forward to insights, justifications, or alternative perspectives.

Happy to connect with you all—thank you in advance!
