A workshop will be convened under the aegis of the Earth System Science Partnership (ESSP) to gauge the needs and preferences of the African scientific community as to the nature of a regional networking organization that could best meet this regional community's needs in support of global change science. This workshop will: contribute to identification of common needs and common goals for regional research in Africa; encourage the African earth system science community to more effectively communicate among themselves and to better connect their research with that of the global community; and will bring global change research more to the attention of universities and national agencies in African countries. The workshop will involve a wide range of experts, including scientists from within the region and scientists from other countries who are actively involved in research in the region; representatives of national agencies that manage and/or fund global change research; the African Academy of Sciences and the Third World Academy of Sciences; the four ESSP worldwide global change research programs; and representatives of national agencies that support development. It is expected that: the workshop will be held at an African location that would encourage participation by a wide range of African scientists; products of the workshop will include identification of long-term data sets that need to be developed in the region; and arrangements will be made to assure that results of the workshop are transmitted to all interested parties, including African regional organizations and other international programs and organizations.

将在地球系统科学伙伴关系（ESSP）的主持下召开一次研讨会，以评估非洲科学界对于区域网络组织的性质的需求和偏好，该网络组织可以最好地满足该区域社区支持全球变化的需求科学。该研讨会将： 有助于确定非洲区域研究的共同需求和共同目标；鼓励非洲地球系统科学界更有效地相互交流，并将其研究与国际社会的研究更好地联系起来；将使全球变化研究更多地引起非洲国家大学和国家机构的关注。研讨会将涉及广泛的专家，包括来自该地区的科学家和积极参与该地区研究的其他国家的科学家；管理和/或资助全球变化研究的国家机构的代表；非洲科学院和第三世界科学院；四个 ESSP 全球变化研究项目；支持发展的国家机构的代表。预计： 研讨会将在非洲举行，以鼓励广大非洲科学家的参与；研讨会的产品将包括确定该区域需要开发的长期数据集；将作出安排，确保将讲习班的结果传达给所有有关各方，包括非洲区域组织和其他国际方案和组织。
