Abstract
In this issue of the journal, we are pleased to announce an exciting three-year partnership with ‘Eye’ Journal team of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists (RCOphth). This partnership is part of the VISION 2020 COECSA-RCOphth LINK partnership that has been in existence for the last 10 years and has led to development and strengthening of the COECSA fellowship exam and examiner training, curriculum development, ‘train the trainers’ and online CPD. The purpose of this new partnership is to leverage on the COECSA-RCOphth relationship to raise the standard and profile of JOECSA as a strong scientific ophthalmic journal sharing research results across the region by providing mentorship to the journal editorial board, reviewers, and administrators. This mentorship will be offered by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and the ‘Eye’ Journal team of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists. This process is co funded by British Council for Prevention of Blindness (BCPB) and the RCOphth.
