Strengthening diagnostic capacity in Africa is described as a key part of pandemic preparedness. Genomic surveillance capacity has significant global disparities. Africa faces data barriers and under-representation in global genomic databases despite important variant discoveries. The 7-1-7 framework sets preparedness targets for detection, notification, and response. Sustaining public-health genomics and bioinformatics workforce capacity in Africa requires dedicated investment. Nigeria's malaria modelling fellowship is presented as a local mathematical modelling capacity-building model for LMICs.
