EIFL will host a second working session on Financial sustainability planning for eight grantees of the ‘Collaboration for sustainable open access publishing in Africa’ project. The grantees are publishing 14 no-fee (Diamond) Open Access (OA) journals and are developing financial sustainability strategies and action plans for their journals. 

The working session facilitator Rob Johnson of Research Consulting will discuss strengths and opportunities for development in the current draft plans and present tools to strengthen the plans: the template, scenarios and a business-model lens. Participants will share their strategies and plans as well as their biggest sustainability challenges and receive targeted support during the meeting and in the coming months.
