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.
