1) Rapid responseSupport development of robust
‘ready to go within 48-72 hours’ PANDORA-ID-NET trained outbreak rapid response
teams that can appraise, evaluate and conduct public health research in each of
the four African regions. These will be linked to other regional and global
networks on emerging infections.
2) Capacity Development
Develop capacity to conduct
research, evaluate and appraise (multi-disciplinary, operational,
anthropological, social science, basic science, translational clinical,
clinical trials, implementation research), in two situations: a) In the
emergency outbreak or epidemic situation; b) In the inter-epidemic period
3) Training
Develop (through high quality
training and mentorship) younger generation scientists, healthcare workers,
laboratory personnel, clinical trialists, ethicists, and social scientists to
take leadership of public health research into emerging infections and the One
Health portfolio in all African regions
4) Advocacy
Engage and fully involve
politicians, policy makers and global public health agencies at the highest
level during all stages of our programme.
