  • OH-NEXTGEN

    OH-NEXTGEN will be a unique and sustainable web-based training programme that would equate to diploma level in neglected zoonotic diseases based on the “One Health” concept to contribute to research development and improved control of zoonoses in Africa.

    Its target audience are the post-graduate and post-doctorate communities of medical and veterinary scientists in the Maghreb and Sahel regions. The course will be delivered in modular form and will be made available in both French and English. It will be integrated in the tropED platform and credits will be quality assured so that they will be valid for inclusion in other MSc, PhD and continuing professional development (CPD) purposes.

  • PREDICT

    PREDICT, a project of USAID’s Emerging Pandemic Threats Program, is building a global early warning system to detect and reduce the impacts of emerging diseases that move between wildlife and people (zoonotic diseases). PREDICT has developed a SMART surveillance method (Strategic, Measurable, Adaptive, Responsive, and Targeted) that accounts for the fact that zoonotic pathogens, such as influenza and SARS, are responsible for the majority of emerging infectious diseases in people, and that more than three quarters of these emerging zoonoses are of wildlife origin.

  • SACIDS

    SACIDS is a ONE HEALTH consortium of southern African medical and veterinary, academic and research institutions involved with infectious diseases of humans and animals in the DRC , Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia and Tanzania (progressively also plant health),In an innovative partnership with world-renowed centres of research in industrialised countries.

    Our mission is to harness innovation in science and technology in order to improve southern Africas capacity (including human, financial and physical) to detect, identify and monitor infectious diseases of humans, animals, plants and their interactions in order to better manage the risk posed by them.

  • Stamp Out Sleeping Sickness (SOS)

    The Stamp Out Sleeping sickness (SOS) campaign is a public private partnership launched in Kampala, Uganda in October 2006. This partnership was formed in response to an emergency situation arising in a number of districts in Northern Uganda where the two strains of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) – also known as “sleeping sickness”- threaten to converge.

    SOS partners have engaged in building a platform for sustainability through educating and teaching farmers and key stakeholders on sleeping sickness and the close links between animal health and human health and economic development. To further empower farmers and communities to “do it for themselves” additional initiatives have been put in place by the private sector partners, like mobile spray teams and the start-up of private veterinary practices and drug shops in previously unserved areas of the SOS districts, the so called “3 V Vet Initiative”.
