Consortia Name: Developing Excellence in Leadership and Genomics Training for Malaria Elimination and Antimicrobial Resistance control in Africa (DELGEME Plus)
Country: Mali
Focus Area: DELTAS Africa II
About the consortia
DELGEME PLUS will build on the training and capacity development we did in genomics during DELTAS 1 to continue addressing major problems in malaria. We will conduct cutting-edge research to understand how the microbes that cause malaria and other diseases become resistant to drugs, how we can prevent the development of this resistance and invent or discover new drugs that will effectively kill the microbes. We will achieve these through training young scientists to become specialists who will produce new knowledge on AMR and through engaging doctors, health officials and communities to improve their behaviour in antimicrobial use.
