South Africa is developing a coding system to track research progress towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs; see I. Capua and E. Giovannini Nature 572, 178; 2019). Known as the South African SDG Hub, this national facility is hosted by the University of Pretoria (sasdghub.org). We invite other institutions, particularly those in Africa, to join us in unlocking the impact of research related to the development goals.
