About SRN
Formerly ACSRM. Launched in 2022. Working across Africa and beyond.
The Systematic Reviews Network (SRN), formerly the African Community for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (ACSRM), is a registered charity supporting the production, dissemination, and use of systematic reviews across low- and middle-income countries. Launched in December 2022 at the University of Rwanda and the University of Lagos with seed funding from INASP, SRN works across Africa and beyond through training, mentorship, and research collaboration.
Read the full storyWhat we do
Training, mentorship, and the tools to do a review well.
From a first course to a completed meta-analysis, SRN supports researchers at every stage — with hands-on training, one-to-one mentorship, and open resources anyone can use.
All programmes
Mentorship
Guidance from someone who has done it before.
The Mentorship Programme pairs researchers with experienced reviewers through the whole of a live review — so you stop second-guessing every methodological choice.
