About the consortia

Led by Prof Bassirou Bonfoh, Afrique One-ASPIRE focuses on endemic zoonotic diseases (diseases that are transmissible between animals and humans) through capacity building. Its aspiration is to harness the unique societal drivers of Africa to build a world-leading Pan-African research capacity in One Health.

Under the DELTAS Africa initiative, Afrique One-ASPIRE aims at building a generation of researchers and practitioners that are effectively implementing the One Health approach in their agenda for zoonotic disease elimination. The guiding principle is to offer a true transdisciplinary and intersectoral collaboration platform for adding value to health systems.
