Challenges to PID Adoption in Africa for OS: Insights from Ghanaian Higher Education Institutions

Struggling to implement Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) effectively in your institution or unsure how to overcome adoption barriers in resource-constrained settings? In this session, you will discover practical insights from Ghanaian Higher Education Institutions (HEI) and learn how real challenges are being addressed to keep knowledge connected. You will explore why issues like limited awareness, fragmented systems and policies, and funding constraints continue to slow PID adoption. Through grounded examples, you will also see how libraries via LIBSENSE, Open Science enthusiasts, and researcher-led efforts are creating workable solutions.
