About the consortia

MARCAD-Plus will build on the successes of MARCAD-1, continuing the successful Masters, PhD and post-doctoral programs by training the next generation of African research leaders in malaria and neglected tropical diseases. The Consortium maintains high-quality research which seeks to eliminate malaria and selected NTDs within the context of climate change, rapid urbanization, increasing population movements and the COVID-19 pandemic.
