EDCTP Africa Office
Strengthening global cooperation and institutional capacities in sub-Saharan Africa to facilitate implementation of the GH EDCTP3 programme
Launched in 2004, the EDCTP Africa Office (AO) is part of the EDCTP Association and aims to support the implementation of the EDCTP programmes in sub-Saharan Africa. The office is based in Cape Town, South Africa.
In 2022, the EDCTP Africa Office received a grant from the Global Health EDCTP3 programme to provide support for the operation of the Africa Office to ensure optimal implementation and visibility of the GH EDCTP3 programme in sub-Saharan Africa. The Africa Office will provide technical support, promote networking activities (South-North, South–South), ensure alignment of the funded activities, strategic partnerships, and increase the visibility of the Global Health EDCTP3.
This will be achieved through several activities that include technical support for the design, implementation and monitoring of capacity developing activities, monitoring funded projects, organising workshops, and facilitating dialogue between African and European research entities and stakeholders. The expected impact is a strengthened and improved delivery of the Global Health EDCTP3 programme in sub-Saharan Africa.
