The fair principles,an acronym for Findable,Accessible,Interoperable and Reusable,are recognised worldwide as key elements for good practice in all data management processes.To understand how the Brazilian scientific community is adhering to these principles,this article reports Brazilian adherence to the go fair initiative through the creation of the go fair Brazil Office and the manner in which they create their implementation networks.To contextualise this understanding,we provide a brief presentation of open data policies in Brazilian research and government,and finally,we describe a model that has been adopted for the go fair Brazil implementation networks.The Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology is responsible for the go fair Brazil Office,which operates in all fields of knowledge and supports thematic implementation networks.Today,go fair Brazil-Health is the first active implementation network in operation,which works in all health domains,serving as a model for other fields like agriculture,nuclear energy,and digital humanities,which are in the process of adherence negotiation.This report demonstrates the strong interest and effort from the Brazilian scientific communities in implementing the fair principles in their research data management practices.

This article investigates expansion of the Internet of fair Data and Services(IFDS)to Africa,through the three go fair pillars:go CHANGE,go BUILD and go TRAIN.Introduction of the IFDS in Africa has a focus on digital health.Two examples of introducing fair are compared:a regional initiative for digital health by governments in the East Africa Community(EAC)and an initiative by a local health provider(Solidarmed)in collaboration with Great Zimbabwe University in Zimbabwe.The obstacles to introducing fair are identified as underrepresentation of data from Africa in IFDS at this moment,the lack of explicit recognition of situational context of research in fair at present and the lack of acceptability of fair as a foreign and European invention which affects acceptance.It is envisaged that fair has an important contribution to solve fragmentation in digital health in Africa,and that any obstacles concerning African participation,context relevance and acceptance of IFDS need to be removed.This will require involvement of African researchers and ICT-developers so that it is driven by local ownership.Assessment of ecological validity in fair principles would ensure that the context specificity of research is reflected in the fair principles.This will help enhance the acceptance of the fair Guidelines in Africa and will help strengthen digital health research and services.
