While the framework was co-created and initially validated in Kenya, its intended use across Africa requires engagement with diverse regional, linguistic, institutional, and sectoral perspectives.
The continental validation process strengthens:
• Contextual relevance across African regions
• Ethical robustness and practical applicability
• Responsible adoption by research, ethics, policy, and implementation actors
