In 2024, EIFL awarded a grant to the University of Rwanda, College of Medicine and Health Sciences to significantly enhance the quality and sustainability of its no-fee open access journal, the Rwanda Journal of Medicine and Health Sciences.

The grant was one of 17 awarded through a three-year project to strengthen no-fee open access publishing in Africa, implemented by EIFL, AJOL (African Journals Online) and WACREN (the West and Central African Research and Education Network), with funding from Wellcome.
