Backed by the European Union and over 40 countries, we focus on infectious diseases that continue to harm millions across sub-Saharan Africa. We fund clinical trials and studies, train researchers, and strengthen the African clinical research ecosystem, ensuring that solutions are developed where they are most needed and global health security is increased. The funding programme has led European Union (EU) efforts to support health research in Africa, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals on infectious diseases. It also plays a role in advancing the EU Global Health Strategy and the African Union-EU’s shared health and innovation priorities.
