Neuropsychologists\u2019 roles included cognitive assessment, research, teaching, and assisting in neurological diagnoses, primarily using tests developed outside Africa. Current research centered on the neuropsychological effects of psychiatric disorders, infectious diseases (e.g., HIV, cerebral malaria), and neurodevelopmental disorders, with future focus areas identified as traumatic brain injury and epilepsy. Educational and training opportunities remain limited. Key barriers to program development included insufficient numbers of trained neuropsychologists, clinical training sites, and employment prospects. Despite this, there is strong interest in collaboration to accelerate the development of neuropsychology and neurosciences, given the heavy burden of neurological disease.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S1355617725101756_as4\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To foster growth, efforts must target the creation of academic and clinical training pathways and the adaptation, standardization, and norming of assessment tools tailored to African populations.
