One Health as a transdisciplinary ecosystem approach for vector-borne diseases in the context of climate change

TDR, the UNICEF/UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) together with WHO’s Department of Control of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) and Climate Change, Health and Environment Team at WHO’s Regional Office for Africa (AFRO), are pleased to announce this joint call for research proposal applications from consortiums of collaborating institutions in Africa to address implementation research priorities for One Health for vector-borne diseases (VBDs) in the context of climate change.

This call for proposals is limited to lead institutions that can organize a two-country partnership of collaborating institutions (Consortium), whereby the lead institution from one African country has demonstrated a proven track record and strong capacity, expertise and experience in implementing One Health research projects. The lead institution will twin and partner with another institution from another African country for the benefit of joint research, reciprocal and mutual capacity building, cooperation, coordination co-learning, sharing of information/knowledge and communication in order to address joint One Health research priorities in the countries that are part of the Consortium.
