  • Afrique One

    Our consortium has been assembled to enhance research capacity and build formal operational links and affiliations among African regional institutions specifically in the are of zoonotic diseases, which have been identified as a national priority in each of the consortium countries. This will be achieved by establishing a comprehensive multilateral training and career development initiative that will enable promising early-career African scientists working in the fields of human and animal infectious disease control to establish enduring internationally competitive research groups within African Universities and partner Research Institutes.

  • AFRISA

    AFRISA, the Africa Institute for Strategic Animal Resource Services and Development, is an autonomous agency of Makerere University and her local and international partners. With a corporate approach, the Not-For-Profit organization is powered by innovative partnerships for positive societal change

    We aim to equip a generation of people to face the extraordinary challenges of the centuries to come. We particularly target the young people, and creating employment, nurturing value addition and improved production systems is our inherent passion.

    The AFRISA approach is a fundamental paradigm shift from the classical “Ivory Tower” model to the ACP3 (Academic-Community-Public-Private Partnership) model of capacity building and societal transformation, with transformative skills, science, technology and innovation as primary pillars. Thus, AFRISA is a 21st century premier design for taking Universities to the communities in Africa.
