- 4 - Name of programme or project  TRIATLAS - Tropical and South Atlantic climate -based marine ecosystem predictions for sustainable 
management  
Objective or purpose  Sustainable management of human activities affecting Atlantic marine ecosystems is critical to maintain its health 
and to support the blue economy of the bordering countries. TRIATLAS will contribute to this by delivering 
knowledge of the current state and  future changes of the Atlantic marine ecosystems. We achieve this through 
a basin -wide approach integrating research from the North and South, that closes critical knowledge gaps in the 
Tropical and South Atlantic which impede an understanding of the enti re basin. We bring together an 
interdisciplinary team of marine ecologists, physical oceanographers, climate researchers, and social scientists 
from 34 different institutions in Europe, Africa, and South America, together with multisectoral and regional 
stakeholders. We will enhance knowledge of the marine ecosystems in key areas of the Atlantic using existing 
and pivotal new (physical, biological, societal) observations. Earth system, ecological, and socio -economic 
models and observations will be used to a ssess the cumulative impacts of (climatic, pollution, and fishing) 
pressures driving fluctuations in the marine ecosystem, and the potential for tipping point behaviour and regime 
shifts. We will develop the first predictions of the marine -ecosystem for th e next 40 years for the whole Atlantic, 
by combining state -of-the-art climate prediction and ecosystem models, with Shared Socioeconomic Pathways, 
and by conducting socioeconomic vulnerability assessments services, with stakeholder engagement. TRIATLAS 
will enhance capacity in marine ecosystems, oceanography, and climate research in countries bordering the 
South and Tropical Atlantic Ocean. There will be close cooperation and alignment with relevant European 
Commission services and the South -South Framework  for Scientific and Technical Cooperation, as well as other 
relevant initiatives in the field. We will contribute to upscale cooperation around the Atlantic.

- 6 - Name of programme or project  Early clinical development of a live, attenuated combination vaccine against Shigella and ETEC 
diarrhoea  
Objective or purpose  Although vaccination is an effective way to reduce the huge disease burden associated with diarrhoea caused by 
enteric pathogens, many attempts to develop vaccines for shigellosis and ETEC infections have failed and a 
number of current approaches are too complex and costly to provide an adequate solution for LMICs. This 
Consortium is dedicated to advancing a radically new approach against Shigella and ETEC based not on the 
immunodominant, bu t highly variable Shigella LPS O -antigen, target of almost all past and current vaccine 
development efforts. There are four pillars on which the ShigETEC vaccine has been designed: (i) Elimination of 
the LPS O -antigen to allow recognition of multiple antig ens on the cell surface that are shared among different 
serotypes of Shigella and are increasingly being recognized as important in protection from shigellosis. These 
antigens are also closely related to those of ETEC and may also help in protecting agains t that pathogen as well. 
(ii) Elimination of the invasiveness of Shigella by disruption of the invasion complex resulting in a much safer/less 
reactogenic oral vaccine that can take advantage of gut mucosal immunity, possibly allowing administration of 
high vaccine doses and therefore addresses the low immunogenicity seen with other live attenuated vaccine 
candidates. (iii) Addition of detoxified toxin antigens of ETEC that will induce neutralizing/blocking antibodies to 
these critical virulence factors. (i v) Rational molecular design of ShigETEC will allow future generations of 
vaccines to include additional antigens for other pathogens. The work programme entails manufacture of clinical 
trial material, first -in-human testing for safety and immunogenicity i n non -endemic adults, a sero -epidemiology 
study to learn about natural immune response to the vaccine, and importantly testing the vaccine in endemic 
populations. The Consortium comprises partners from EU and Bangladesh that bring along highly complementar y 
expertise.

- 8 - Name of programme or project  Vaccine Against Schistosomiasis for Africa. A Phase I clinical study of the SchistoShield® anti -
schistosomiasis vaccine in adults in endemic areas of sub -Saharan Africa  
Objective or purpos e Schistosomiasis is a poverty -related neglected tropical disease, impacting one billion people in 74 countries. 
Science ranked a schistosomiasis -vaccine as one of the top -10 vaccines urgently needed. Chemotherapy is the 
preferred method for schistosomiasi s control; but the effectiveness of mass -treatment programs is compromised 
by reinfection requiring regular re -treatment. An efficacious vaccine, with long -lasting protection against all 
schistosomiasis forms, would impact disease control. We request fundi ng for the clinical development of our 
SchistoShield® -vaccine (Sm - p80 antigen+GLA -SE adjuvant) in Burkina Faso and Madagascar, where 
Schistosoma mansoni (causing intestinal/ hepatic schistosomiasis) and S. haematobium (causing urinary 
schistosomiasis) are  endemic. In baboon studies, SchistoShield® has been effective against all major 
schistosome species. It is the only vaccine candidate having consistently exhibited potent prophylactic, anti -
fecundity, egg -induced pathology resolving, transmission -blocking  and therapeutic efficacy. The objectives are 
to 1) assess the safety/immunogenicity of SchistoShield® in a Phase I clinical study in healthy adults from Africa; 
2) refine and develop a female worm schistosome human challenge model; 3) identify correlates of protection, 
innate and adaptive immune signatures, gene expression and the role of antibodies in the prevention/control of 
Schistosoma infections; and 4) foster a global consortium to advance research on schistosomiasis disease 
burden, vaccines and addr ess downstream access constraints in resource -poor settings. The funding requested 
will allow the clinical development of SchistoShield®. African site research capacity will be improved and 
epidemiological burden data using novel diagnostic techniques will  be used to advance clinical development to

- 10 - Name of programme or project  Scale up an Integrated Care Package for Diabetes and Hypertension for Vulnerable People in 
Cambodia, Slovenia and Belgium  
Objective or purpose  Treating hypertension (HT) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains a challenge for healthcare providers worldwide. 
Patients often receive suboptimal care, especially vulnerable groups in society. The EU -funded SCUBY project 
aims to reverse this trend by examining the scale up of existing evidence -based interventions for the control of 
both diseases in Belgium, Slovenia and Cambodia – three countries with different health systems. The project 
will focus on integrated care, identification of HT and/or T2D, primary care treatment, health education, self -
management support and collaboration between caregivers. The aim is to analyse the or ganisational capacity 
for scaling up, and to develop and implement strategic roadmaps for each country. Lastly, the project will assess 
the impact of scale up on health outcomes and costs.

- 15 - Name of programme or project  Integrating and decentralising diabetes and hypertension services in Africa  
Objective or purpose  We will integrate and scale up services for diabetes and hypertension in clinics in Tanzania and Uganda, either 
as standalone or integrat ed with HIV -infection. This builds on pilot studies that the partners are conducting, 
funded by UK NIHR, on the prevention and management of HIV, diabetes and hypertension in Africa. The aim of 
INTE-AFRICA is to assess the effectiveness and feasibility of large-scale scale up. Research evidence needed by 
African health services to scale -up and sustain the screening and management of diabetes and hypertension in 
different settings will be generated. The objectives include: to re -organise primary health care services so that 
diabetes and hypertension can be diagnosed and treated in dedicated chronic care clinics in two large regions, 
one in Tanzania and in Uganda; to decentralise care from health facilities to the community in order to reduce 
patient load at c linics and reduce reliance on (scarce) clinical staff; to evaluate these approaches in terms of 
acceptability (by patients and the community), numbers of patients treated and retained in care, patient clinical 
outcomes (blood pressure control, blood glucos e control), costs of delivering integrated care for the health 
service and cost -effectiveness (compared to current standard care); to use the data generated to contribute 
evidence to the development of clinical guidelines; to develop the sustainable partne rships needed between 
researchers, government policy makers, public -private partnerships on an ethos of openness and equality so as 
to facilitate the expansion of the scale -up nationally. The majority of individuals with either hypertension or 
diabetes are  identified after they develop complications, which leads to their poor outcomes, and to catastrophic 
costs to both the health service and the patient. Scaling up services for would prevent clinical complications in 
patients and could result in immense cos t savings for patients and the health service.

- 23 - Name of programme or project  Energy Planning and Modelling Through Integrated Assessment of Climate Land Energy Water Nexus 
in Sub -Saharan Africa  
Objective or purpose  Achieving clean energy access and food security targets in Sub -Saharan Africa (SSA) will require significant 
infrastructure expansion. Improved policy environments and governance structures are recognised as vital in 
scaling up funding for climate -resilient investments in renewable energy infrastructures. The efficient exploitation 
of land, energy and water resources and their synergised use for sustainable economic development, as  well as 
their robustness to stressors from climate change require integrated optimisation and assessment of strategic 
plans in these sectors. Working with existing, widely adopted, open -source modelling tools and data, the EPIC 
Africa project will build o n the transparent integrated assessment, and resource modelling, connecting to the 
already existing community of developers and users. The project will create a network of African experts to train, 
co-create and sustain the tools developed in the long term , which is lacking at the moment. The project will build 
advanced and spatially contextualised water -energy -food (WEF) models for long -term infrastructure planning. 
Operational WEF models with sufficient temporal and spatial resolution will be developed an d used to verify cost -
optimised infrastructure investment plans under different climate and socioeconomic scenarios. EPIC Africa sets 
out to support governance of sustainable development in SSA by forming and connecting a transition arena with 
stakeholders  in dialogue, leading to the development of a WEF nexus digital engagement tool. Optimal use of 
shared resources will be exemplified for Africa using the cases of the Volta and Tana river basins. Here, we will 
design specific policy, investment and infrast ructure plans for the coming decades in the agricultural, water and 
energy access sectors. The project will produce a set of institutional, regulatory and technical recommendations 
for sustainable management of optimised transition pathways.

- 29 - Name of programme or project  Agro -ecological strategies for resilient farming in West Africa  
Objective or purpose  "Agriculture is one of the key focus areas of the partnership between the European Union (EU) and the African 
Union (AU), with the EU 's focus being on facilitating a green transition according to its Green Deal (GD) 
objectives. The GD is a set of long -term policy initiatives that define the EU 's climate strategy to reach net zero 
emissions by 2050 and its implications for Africa are multifaceted, such as the implementation o f new agricultural 
standards, deployment of the EU -Africa biodiversity strategy or creating a circular economy. Climate change is 
projected to compromise agricultural production, especially in smallholder systems with little adaptive capacity, 
as currently  prevalent in many parts of Africa. In particular, West Africa (WA) is known to be particularly 
vulnerable to climate change due to high climate variability or high reliance on rain -fed agriculture and especially 
due to urgent drive to meeting food, health y diet, and economic needs. To support a transition to sustainable 
food systems, Agro -ecological farming is emerging as a compelling response to the challenges West Africa faces, 
aiming to reduce the environmental impacts of agriculture while meeting the g rowing demand for food, 
contributing to landscape quality and biodiversity, and enhancing resilience..  CIRAWA will unlock the potential 
of the agro -ecology in West Africa by building on existing indigenous and scientific knowledge to improve food 
and nutr ition security, livelihoods and planetary health while tackling the climate change and environmental 
impact of agricultural practices. CIRAWA will work on innovative agro -ecological approaches by the following 
strategies: (i) valorisation of agro -wastes an d bio -based fertiliser production; (ii) production of high quality 
seeds; (iii) saline soil reclamation through phytoremediation; (iv) soil fertility, water and crop management 
practices. These will be deployed in 4 countries in West Africa (Cape Verde, Gh ana, Senegal and The Gambia). "

- 31 - Name of programme or project  Human, tech nical and political factors for better coordination and support of e -health in Africa  
Objective or purpose  BETTEReHEALTH will set up four Regional Hubs based in Tunisia, Ghana, Ethiopia and Malawi, already endorsed 
by each country 's Ministry of Health. Ea ch hub will organise coordination and networking activities (including two 
regional workshops) involving national and regional actors. We are planning actions to address three aspects 
related to successful e -health: human, technical and public policy facto rs. We will also organise two international 
workshops to promote the cooperation and networking between Europe and Africa. BETTEReHEALTH will create 
open access registries by collecting information from African countries regarding e -health policies and exi sting 
e-health solutions. The registries will be used to identify best -practices and produce useful knowledge regarding 
e-health implementation. The knowledge produced in registries, together with the input from the other activities 
will be synthesized int o e-health policy roadmaps and strategic implementation plans for better e -health services 
for the four countries hosting Regional Hubs, but will also be of high relevance for other African countries. The 
strengths of BETTEReHEALTH are the diversity of the  involved partners, which will contribute to an 
interdisciplinary approach (including health, technical and policymaking actors), the evidence -based approach 
guaranteed by the academic and research partners, and the strong local involvement ensured by the four 
Regional Hubs. BETTEReHEALTH will increase the level of international cooperation in e -health, inform and 
strengthen end -user communities and policy makers in making the right decisions for the successful 
implementation of e -health, and lead to increa sed opportunities for stakeholders in Africa and Europe with the 
overall aim of better health outcomes through better healthcare accessibility and higher quality.

- 32 - Name of programme or project  Dual screening by Spectral Artificial Visual Examination (SAVE) for Female Genita l Schistosomiasis 
(FGS) and cervical cancer. Digital, new, low -cost, and simple screening and training  
Objective or purpose  "Around 300 million African girls and women are at risk of the poverty related disease, Female Genital 
Schistosomiasis (FGS), and 400 million are at risk for cervical cancer. Most of these are in Sub -Saharan Africa. 
FGS may be mistaken for cervical cancer o r a sexually transmitted infection, and treated accordingly. Women 
may have FGS lesions, have cryptogenic bloody or malodorous discharge, or pain, and, be at higher risk for HIV 
and Human papillomavirus (HPV). FGS is best diagnosed by point -of-care visuali sation of the shape and colour 
of the lesions. However, health professionals require several weeks of training where the disease is seen 
frequently, and often they need a colposcope to recognise FGS. Worldwide, there are only a handful of health 
profession als who are proficient in FGS diagnosis. A multispectral highly innovative colposcope linked to a 
smartphone, designed by an SME for cervical cancer recognition, will be adapted and validated for FGS diagnosis 
in this proposal. In three countries with diff erent FGS epidemiology and different practices for gynaecological 
investigations of women, we will conduct a clinical trial in the spirit of the EDCTP agenda, with the ultimate aim 
of a patent and local production. With lessons from the SARS -CoV-2 pandemic , an eLearning course will be 
designed and trialled. Equipment, consultations and training will be adapted to practical realities (cultures, 
unstable electricity/internet, poverty, vulnerability). As recommended by the WHO and the ""HPV faster 
approach "", the diagnosis should be at the point -of-care. Management and data collection protocols will be 
designed in collaboration with the national health authorities in Southern Africa, the WHO and also in one 
European country. This is a thrust to promote clinical  research and digitalisation for vulnerable populations. 
Hundreds of clinicians and scientists will receive training in FGS, clinical trials, and social sciences. "

- 34 - Name of programme or project  Validation of treatment decision algorithms for childhood tuberculosis at low levels of healthcare in 
high burden countries - effectiveness, implementation, and integration into policy an d practices  
Objective or purpose  Childhood tuberculosis (TB) remains globally underdiagnosed and untreated. In 2022, WHO conditionally 
recommended the use of treatment decision algorithms (TDAs) to improve the diagnosis of pulmonary TB in 
children <10 yea rs and called for the external validation of two suggested TDAs for children. The Decide -TB 
project aims to generate evidence for the implementation of a comprehensive TDA -based approach for TB in 
children living in high -burden, resource -limited countries,  at district hospital and primary health centre levels, 
and to facilitate the integration of this evidence into practice and policy. As an interdisciplinary consortium of 
researchers and national TB programs (NTPs), we will conduct a programmatic pilot of WHO-suggested TDAs, 
also integrating specific TDAs for children living with HIV and/or those malnourished, and severity assessment 
for shorter treatment decision in non -severe TB disease. Clinical mentoring tools and a Clinical Decision Support 
System will  be developed. District information systems will be strengthened to collect individual data for program 
monitoring and supervision by NTPs, and for research. The TDA -based approach will be tested in a pragmatic

- 36 - Name of programme or project  Integrated and Circular Technologies for Sustainable city region FOOD systems in Africa  
Objective or purpose  "Current African city region food systems fail to deliver food and nutrition security (FNS), health, and 
environmental sustainability. INCiTiS -FOOD develops scientifically underpinned circular agri -food technologies 
and practices, suitable for African cities. The context specific socio -technological use cases of INCiTiS -FOOD 
address the prevalent deficiency of animal sourced foods, vegetables and fruits. Hydroponics, aquaponics, and 
insect farming hold gr eat promise because they require limited land, water, energy, wealth and reduce waste. 
Hydroponics and aquaponics infer soilless, circular vegetable and fish farming enterprises. Using an 
interdisciplinary approach, inclusive and scalable business models a re developed for these enterprises, 
contributing to thriving and collaborative communities.  This circular food system thinking improves FNS, delivers 
safe, affordable, nutritious, and healthy food, reduces waste and the environmental footprint in African cities. 
INCiTiS -FOOD follows a multi -actor approach for co -design and co -creation of circular agri -food innovations and 
business models, involving 8 city Living Labs in 6 countries from 3 African regions (East: Kenya; West: Ghana, 
Nigeria, Sierra Leone; Ce ntral: Cameroon, Gabon). The project aims for its innovations and businesses to attain 
a technological, societal, and business readiness level of TRL -7, SRL -7, and BRL -5, respectively. INCiTiS -FOOD 
agri-food innovations and business models will be widely a dopted because their research and innovation maturity 
are proven by a large -scale demonstration as part of the Cascade Fund (1,000,000 EUR). International ecosystem 
building is promoted by the digital INCiTiS -FOOD Platform on SmartAgriHubs.eu to support Afr ican innovation

- 38 - Name of programme or  project  Development and validation of a quantitative point -of-care test for the measurement of severity 
biomarkers to improve risk stratification of fever syndromes and enhance child survival  
Objective or purpose  "Fever is the leading reason to seek heal thcare globally, with over 1 billion cases of febrile illness occurring in 
children annually. The vast majority of infections are uncomplicated and self -limited and can be treated 
conservatively. A few (<1%) are life -threatening but are often challenging t o identify early in the course of 
illness. Our project challenges the current status quo and inefficiencies of triaging practices. We propose to 
develop and validate a rapid triaging tool to determine, objectively, quantitatively and with high precision th ose 
patients at risk of dying, so as to prioritize their care. The breakthrough solution lies in the ENDOTHELIUM, a 
newly recognized in vivo biosensor, which plays a critical role in our defense against pathogens. Endothelial cell 
activation and subsequent  loss of integrity is a common pathway of injury in several life -threatening infections, 
including sepsis, malaria, or even COVID -19. Measuring specific mediators of this pathway (sTREM -1, Ang2, etc.) 
at first clinical presentation can reliably identify in dividuals at risk of dying, irrespective of the disease causing 
the fever, and more robustly than previously known predictors such as clinical algorithms or ""classic "" 
biomarkers. Importantly, these pathways are also ""druggable "", thus allowing the testing or re -purposing of 
specific interventions to improve outcome. We will design and produce a RTT (glucometer -like) that quantitatively 
measures the two markers with best predictive performance (sTREM -1 and Ang2). We will then inco rporate it 
into 2 clinical trials (to be done in Mozambique, Gabon and Ethiopia) to 1) verify the improved performance of 
the proposed PoC RTT in risk -stratifying and predicting mortality among paediatric patients when compared to 
standard of care, and 2) test whether a specific intervention (nutritional supplementation of L -Citrulline), guided 
by biomarker results, improves (vs. placebo) long -term outcomes and survival after hospital discharge. "

- 40 - Name of programme or project  De-centring the Study of Migrant Returns and Readmission Policies in Europe and Beyond  
Objective or purpose  GAPs is a comprehensive study on the drivers of return policies and barriers/enablers in international cooperation 
on returns. The project examines the disconnects between expectations of return policies and their actual 
outcomes by de -centering the domina nt, one -sided understanding of "return policymaking. " GAPs will: a) 
scrutinize the shortcomings of the EU 's governance of returns with both its internal and external dimensions; b) 
analyse enablers and barriers of international cooperation c) shed light on  the perspectives of migrants 
themselves to understand their knowledge of return policies, aspirations and experiences. By taking a close look 
at governance, cooperation and actor 's agency, the project is able to suggest new avenues for international 
coope ration, develop recommendations for stakeholders and explore alternative pathways to returning migrants. 
The project combines its decentering approach with three innovative concepts: a focus on return migration 
infrastructures that enable GAPs to analyze g overnance fissures; an analysis of return migration diplomacy to 
understand how relations among EU MSs and with third countries hinder cooperation on returns; and a trajectory 
approach that uses a socio -spatial and temporal lens to understand migrant agenc y. The project achieves its 
aims via multi -disciplinary, qualitative and quantitative comparative research in 11 countries in Europe, Africa 
and the broader Middle East (including Afghanistan). The project involves wide -ranging and innovative impacts, 
including the creation of interactive data repository on returns, a return cooperation index, return governance 
indicators, policy briefs and workshops, the formation of stakeholder expert panels, a digital storytelling and 
video series, the launching of Massi ve Open Online Course (MOOC) as well as open access policy and scholarly

- 42 - Name of programme or project  Solutions to prevent and mitigate the impacts of HABs in Aquaculture and Fisheries,  in the context 
of global warming  
Objective or purpose  Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are considered a threat to the environment and to human health. Major concerns 
are addressed to the increasing occurrence of these natural events in certain regions of the world, driven by 
global warming and anthropogenic pressure. Human illnesses related to the intake of contaminated seafood have 
been attributed to these events. Furthermore, HABs have a significant impact in economic activities such as 
aquaculture and f isheries. The occurrence of HABs in natural areas utilized for aquaculture (or 
harvesting/fishing), can affect species growth and nutritional parameters, or even cause mass mortalities, 
causing huge losses in the industry. The regulation of toxin levels in  seafood and other measures (e.g. forced 
closures to seafood harvest during the occurrence of HABs) have been contributing to protecting humans from 
serious intoxications. On the other hand, the impacts on the industry lack mitigation measures. This projec t aims 
to contribute to the development of solutions for the aquaculture and fisheries sector, through the development 
of efficient methods for the detection of HABs (early warning), and the development of farming and depuration 
systems for shellfish to re duce the toxin load. The project also aims to advance in the understanding of regulated 
and emerging toxins (chemical and toxicological evaluation) and their global expansion, and toxin incidence and 
persistence in seafood (traditional and non -traditional vectors, species not yet investigated). For the 
implementation of the project, an interdisciplinary consortium was built, which brings together specialists from 
different areas of knowledge and who will develop joint research and innovation activities whic h, collectively, will 
contribute to the technological innovation of the aquaculture and fisheries and sustainable growth of this sector 
and to environmental monitoring

- 46 - Name of programme or project  Rural Environmental Monitoring via ultra wide -Area networks And Distributed federat ed Learning  
Objective or purpose  Internet of Things (IoT) technology combined with complementary support for data analytics is the corner stone 
of today 's digital transformation. The societal and economic impact of IoT/ML systems in urban and suburban 
areas significantly outpaces the one in rural areas due to a limited reach of connectivity infrastructure. To reverse 
further widening of the urban -rural gap, we need to bring efficient and affordable IoT/ML solutions to deep rural 
areas, reaching  out to applications and use cases ranging from wildlife management, rural tourism, livestock 
monitoring, water and air pollution control, and others. By identifying main gaps in connectivity and affordable 
data analytics and through interleaved research, development and validation in a real -world setting, 
REMARKABLE will address the challenge of bringing IoT and data analytics systems a step closer to seamless, 
energy efficient and secure deployment in rural ares. The consortium composed of six European ac ademic 
partners, five companies and five associated partners representing leading academic groups from Africa, will 
focus on research, development, innovation and demonstration across five use cases with six demonstration 
sites located in rural areas acros s the European and African continent. The inter -disciplinary nature of the 
programme provides a unique opportunity for investigation of smart sensing, IoT and data science technology 
from non -traditional, holistic perspectives leading to new scientific ach ievements and innovations. Project outputs 
like smart IoT sensors and devices, rural IoT digital twining platforms, ultra wide -area IoT networks, novel data 
analytics models and architectures will find their routes to the market via active industrial partn ers. The project 
will impact EU workforce market via new interdisciplinary skills for young contributors and form new long -lasting 
networks of European and African institutions in the area of sensing, IoT, big data analytics and rural 
entrepreneurship.

- 48 - Name of programme or project  Reducing nutrition -related noncom municable diseases in adolescence and youth: interventions and 
policies to boost nutrition fluency and diet quality in Africa  
Objective or purpose  "Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are a major public health problem, resulting in over 70% of global deaths 
each year; the majority (85%) of deaths occur in low -and middle -income countries. While cost -effective, 
evidence -based best practices are available, i mplementation of these interventions has remained a critical 
challenge, particularly ones targeted at promoting health behaviors among adolescents and youth. Despite the 
importance, few studies have been undertaken to identify the facilitators and barriers  to the implementation of 
evidence -based interventions that promote healthy behaviors among adolescents and youth in sub -Saharan 
Africa (SSA). ""Reducing nutrition -related noncommunicable diseases in adolescence and youth: From nutrition 
literacy to fluenc y"" will take a major step towards improving the implementation of evidence -based interventions 
– nutrition education and SSB policy - that promote healthy behaviors among adolescents and youth in SSA to 
reduce the impact of NCDs. With the use of a multi -disciplinary approach, innovative design, and cutting -edge 
tools, the proposed project aims to establish a global alliance to prevent and reduce nutrition -related NCDs 
among adolescence and youth in SSA region, by shaping individuals ' health behaviors throu gh nutrition literacy 
and fluency, assessing the impact and performance of the nutrition -related policy and promotion programs, and 
providing flexible, cost -effective, scalable, reliable, secure and easy -to-use tools. The establishment of an Africa 
Think T ank for Adolescents and Youth Health, and annual forums will help facilitate continuous engagement with 
key stakeholders to enhance buy -in, acceptance and relevance of the project outputs. Ultimately, the expected 
wider effects of this project include impr oved NCD prevention policy adoption and implementation, improved 
policies and evidence -informed decision making amongst key stakeholders, and ultimately decreased avoidable 
mortality due to NCDs. "

Objective or purpose  "Objective: Set up cost effective innovative sensor networks that can be financed by climate services built on 
top of these networks.  Concept: Transformative new methods to measure five essential hydrological variables 
(rainfall, soil moisture, river flow, bathymetry) at less than 10% of current costs. These reduced costs are 
essential to have realistic business models for services that cover the costs of build ing and operating the 
networks. The five essential variables will be available through GEOSS.   Innovation: Seven new sensing methods 
will be introduced in Africa. The innovation does not focus only on moving up Technology Readiness Levels of 
new measuring  methods but, especially, on the usefulness and practical applicability of these methods in the 
specific contexts. The direct linkage of sensors and new value -creating services is part of this innovation because 
this is essential for long -term financial su stainability. New services assimilate in situ and satellite data in 
numerical models to make optimal use of strengths of different sources of information.  Knowledge of the African 
market: Building on earlier research -oriented projects and on experience in  development of geo -services in 
Africa, in -depth knowledge of the opportunities and limitations of the African market is widely available within 
the consortium. Selection of focus services was based on this knowledge. These focus services are Flood Early 
Warning Systems, reservoir management, and crop germination insurance. These have been selected as the 
most promising services in the broader climate -oriented areas of geo -hazards, water management, and 
agricultural information. "

Vectors of emerging arboviruses  
Objective or purpose  Over the past 10 years, arboviral diseases, such as dengue, Zika, chikungunya and yellow fever, have 
(re)emerged with increasing prevalence and severity. Although these arboviral diseases are more prevalent in 
tropical countries, increasing numbers of autochthonous cases are being reported from European countries; 
hence raising concerns about the potential for the establishment of these pathogens in temperate regions. In 
the absence of effective vaccines and treatments, preventing these diseases at the global scale continues to 
depend largely on controlling mosquito vector populations, interrupting human –vector contact or both. 
Unfortunately, the recent resurgence of Aedes  transmitted arboviral diseases worldwide highlights the limitations 
of current vector control to prevent epidemics and to reduce the incidence of diseases. New, affordable, scalable 
and community -based vector control measures are urgently needed to preven t the introduction, spread and 
establishment of Aedes -borne diseases in Europe and beyond. The INOVEC project proposes to build a large pan -
European, cross -sectoral and multidisciplinary network to develop, optimise and promote integrated approaches 
and in novative tools for the surveillance and control of mosquito vectors of emerging arboviruses. INOVEC will 
gather 21 academic and non -academic institutions specialized in vector biology, social sciences and product 
development to stimulate basic and applied research, strengthen capacities, promote career development and 
facilitate knowledge and technology transfer to countries at increasing risk of arboviral diseases. INOVEC has 
the commitment to coordinate and integrate sectors in order to maximise impact, r aise awareness of policy 
makers and stakeholders, and participate in the improvement of innovation potential at the European and global 
level. INOVEC will contribute to international efforts to improve global health and human well -being by reducing 
the bur den of vector borne diseases.

- 54 - Name of progra mme or project  Potentials of Agroecological practices in east Africa with a focus on Circular water -energy -nutrient 
systems  
Objective or purpose  PrAEctiCe will provide a novel agro -ecology indicator set for East Africa, aimed at helping smallholder farmers in 
their agro -ecological transition. The project goes beyond the existing indicator frameworks by putting the 
"concept into action " with a decis ion support tool for agro -ecology advisors supporting the selection of the best 
suited combination of agro -ecological practices in a local context. In addition, it puts a focus on circular water -
energy -nutrient systems of integrated aqua -agriculture, an pr actice with high potential for efficient farming with 
minimal climate impacts, which has not been sufficiently explored in previous indicator work. Through a multi -
stakeholder approach, new insight on agro -ecological practices in East Africa will be gather ed to inform on 
existing successful practices as well as the barriers and drivers of East African smallholder farmers. This insight 
will help develop an indicator framework for agro -ecology, which, while building on existing frameworks, is 
adapted to the E ast African context and captures integrated aqua -agriculture practices in detail. The PrAEctiCe 
decision support tool will then, at the farm level, help assess environmental and socio -economic impacts, with a 
particular focus on impacts on climate change m itigation and adaptation as well as financial viability. The tool 
will be validated in three living labs, situated in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, covering different integrated aqua -
agriculture farming set -ups. Knowledge sharing activities through trainings , student exchanges and events, 
ensure the dissemination of results across East Africa and between AU and EU. To reach practitioners at every 
level, a cascade training mechanism with a train -the-trainer course will help agro -ecology advisors train farming 
representatives at the local level who then will help the farmers in their agro -ecological transition. Policy 
recommendations for AU and EU policies will round off the project.

- 56 - Name of programme or project  A holistic approach in patient management and epidemic surveillance through convergence of 
diagnostic technologies, capacity building and stakeholder engagement  
Objective or purpose  Research on Poverty -Related Diseases (PRDs) in sub -Saharan Africa suffers from major technological and non -
technological challenges that prevent high quality healthcare to reach many areas. Not only their performance, 
but also the affordability, manufacturability, sui tability for Low - and Middle -Income Countries (LMICs) and 
deployment of the (few) available diagnostics are main barriers to ensure good quality of healthcare in sub -
Saharan Africa. The HoliCare project aims to tackle such challenges from a holistic perspe ctive, by bridging the 
gap between technological excellence, available infrastructures, capacity, and local uptake of new technologies. 
We have chosen to work with lower respiratory infections as a blueprint for our new approach due to their huge 
clinical and socioeconomic impact, and relevance to the SARS -CoV-2 pandemic. Technology -wise, we propose a 
2-tiered, digitally interfaced diagnostic approach that will start in the field using multiplexed lateral flow tests for 
rapid screening and triage, followed by a referral to a hospital (when needed) and a follow -up detailed diagnosis 
using a POC -Instrument performing simultaneous nucleic acid amplification (LAMP) for pathogen identification 
and immunoassays for host biomarker quantitation. Digital and manufact uring infrastructures will encompass 
these technology innovations to ensure future local product development. Quality controlled biobanks will be 
developed for executing reliable clinical studies. Training and human capital investment will be achieved by 
focussed and high -level training activities. Adoption and implementation activities will pave the way for the 
proposed diagnostic solutions to be successfully deployed, fitting the purpose of the local populations. Our 
developments will be scalable, adaptab le and transferrable to other diseases and national (eco) systems, aiming 
to contribute to the improvement of healthcare delivery in sub -Saharan Africa.

- 58 - Name of programme or project  RE-thinking of approaches and toolkits for transdisciplinary INTEGRATEd assessment of climate -
compatible energy strategies from the African Union through to the European Union  
Objective or purpose  Scientific tools are widely applied across the EU and the AU to support strategic planning for climate -compatible 
development. They are used by national and local authorities, research institutes and civil society organisations, 
very often with the support of development partners, academia and consulting firms. They are an important part 
of the energy planning ecosystem. However, the scientific insights derived from these tools have not always 
supported the strategic energy planning process successfully. Sometimes uncoordinated and biased approaches 
to model design and application by the involved actors on the EU and AU side have led to poor reflection of 
country -specific social, economic, and environmental conditions (Gardumi et al., 2022). The result is often a lack 
ownership and credibility and thus limited uptake in planning and policymaking processes. In order to address 
this gap, the overall aim of RE -INTEGRATE is to establish within existing energy planning ecosystems across the 
AU and EU an enabling and non -exclusive environment for the sharing of knowledge, fit -to-context modelling 
toolkits and modelling expertise on climate -compatible development. RE -INTEGRATE addresses the need – 
expressed in the Work Programme - for fostering modell ing approaches and expertise in the AU, which are not 
heavily reliant on the developed countries, by structurally enabling multi -lateral sharing of knowledge and 
research infrastructure. While doing so, it develops and tests fit -for-purpose 3E models in 8 AU contexts, building 
on local expertise and analysing climate -compatible development pathways.

- 60 - Name of programme or project  Implementing Primaquine Single Low Dose in Africa  
Objective or purpose  The 2021 World Malaria Report estimates that the number of clinical cases in 2020 was 241 million and the 
number of deaths was 627,000, an increase of 69,000 compared to 2019, a timely reminder to maintain good 
malaria control and introduce novel eliminati on strategies. In 2012, to further reduce malaria transmission and 
possibly reach elimination, the WHO recommended adding single low dose primaquine (SLDPQ) to artemisinin 
based treatments (ACTs) in low transmission settings and more recently in areas wher e artemisinin resistance 
is emerging. SLDPQ kills mature gametocytes, blocking the transmission between humans and mosquitoes and 
should see a reduction in the malaria burden with widespread deployment. Compounding the poor uptake of 
SLDPQ is the lack of c hild-friendly formulations of primaquine and lingering anxieties regarding primaquine -
related acute haemolysis in patients with glucose -6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.  Building on the good 
progress of the 'Developing Paediatric Primaquine ' EDCTP2 -funded project, aiming at prequalifying paediatric 
formulations, we have conceived the IMPRIMA project to support the adoption of SLDPQ by conducting a real -
life implementation study using our flavoured primaquine for children. Key to our success i s the unique triangle 
of interconnecting activities - clinical, community/sociological, and policy - all within a matrix of capacity building 
and strong coordination by all seven partners.  Our ambitious proposal aims to demonstrate the safety, 
acceptabili ty, and community benefit of SLDPQ in 3 African countries with different malaria epidemiologies. 
Engagement with the communities and policy makers are fundamental to effect a positive change in drug policy 
and contribute to malaria elimination. In parallel , capacity will be enhanced for conducting clinical trials and 
monitoring the evolution of antimalarial drugs resistance. We believe the IMPRIMA project fits extremely well 
with the priorities of this call.

initiatives. END -VOC consists of 19 p artners in Europe (UK, Spain, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Italy), 
South America (Brazil and Peru), Africa (Mozambique, South Africa, Nigeria and 13 ANTICOV African countries), 
Middle East (Palestine) and Asia (India, Pakistan, Philippines) with a focus on countries affected by VOCs and 
VOIs. We will elucidate the global circulation of the current and emerging SARS -CoV-2 VOCs and their 
characteristics, including transmissibility, pathogenicity and propensity to cause reinfection, to support best 
control strategies and the development of diagnostics; evaluate the impact of VOCs on the effectiveness of 
different vaccines and vaccination strategies; and assess the implications of VOCs on the choice of optimal 
treatment options. END -VOC will also investi gate how VOCs alter long -term post -infection sequelae and where 
new VOCs emerge within hosts using our clinical cohorts. We will inform future preparedness and response 
working closely with international and national public health organisations and existin g cohort consortia. Specific 
beyond state -of-the-art components of END -VOC include the use of novel phylogenetic prediction tools and 
mathematical modelling; generation of powerful cohorts through sentinel surveillance in low and middle income 
settings and  cohorts of travellers to increase our global reach; use of novel predictive modelling of clinical 
outcomes by VOC and comorbidity/treatment and evaluation of differences in natural and vaccine immunity by

Objective or purpose  The proposal develops a combination of energy -saving solutions that can be adopted in retrofitting aimed at 
achieving the 35% of GHG emissions.  Two new technologies, i.e. wind assisted ship propulsion and an innovative 
air lubrication system, will be developed together with other solutions that, although based on already mature 
technologies, such as operational and hydrodynamic design optimizatio n and ship electrification, have to be 
expanded to be integrated with the new solutions as well as to cope with the constraints posed by the original 
ship design. The final objective of RETROFIT55 is to create an advanced web -based Decision Support System 
(DSS), that fuses together digital twins of the different systems into an integrated digital ship model. The DSS 
will feature a catalogue of retrofitting solutions that are up -to-date and ready to be deployed at the end of the 
project and easily extendable  afterward while developed and demonstrated at TRL 7 -8, suitable for different ship 
types and operational contexts. The DSS will enable the user to configure the retrofitting by combining different 
options which are suitable for the specific ship type and comparing them in terms of life -cycle cost, return -of-
investment and several KPIs, such as EEXI, CII. Referring to the ZEWT strategy, while primarily contributing to 
the Design and Retrofit, the implementation of the project will also intersect other topic s, such as Use of 
Sustainable Alternative fuels, Energy Efficiency, Electrification and Digital Green. The consortium brings together 
universities and research institutions, three developers of the new technologies, a ship design office, software 
developer s, ICT experts, a classification society, a ship -repair company, and two large ship operators.

- 68 - Name of programme or project  Fostering agroecology transition in North Africa through multi -actor, evaluation, and networking  
Objective or purpose  Transforming agriculture in the context of climate change is a central challenge in North -Africa, the most food -
import -dependent region worldwide and a climate change hotspot. Tackling these issues, Agro -Ecology (AE) 
appears as an answer to meet both the challenges of global sustainability and local resilience. In this context, 
NATAE consortium brings together high -level research institutions, international organisation s and NGOs with 
strong experience on AE approaches and exceptional capacity to induce transformational change by informing 
policies and education. NATAE project aims to foster the adoption of science -based, locally -tailored and co -
designed AE strategies in  North Africa by creating a comprehensive and quantitative baseline on AE, providing a 
shared understanding, multidimensional performance measures, and analyses of AE potential for meeting 
consumers demand on the market. To achieve this goal, NATAE will se t-up and inform a unique multi -actor 
community of knowledge and capacity building on AE in the Mediterranean, with ground breaking findings on the 
performances of AE -Practices (AEP) in North Africa. An original multi -dimensional, multi -scale evaluation 
framework covering dimensions currently overlooked, and a replicable methodological guidebook will be 
designed. An integrated modelling approach combining a biophysical, a household/regional bio -economic 
indicator modelling chain will be used to develop a uni que Integrated Assessment of Agricultural Systems to 
assess the resilience of AEP -based farming systems. Participatory approaches via Living Labs will be elaborated 
to develop, test and capitalize alternative public policies and foster AE transitions. An i ntegrated group of 
dissemination activities, will further test, advance and communicate a range of existing AE innovations from farm 
to fork, including innovative farm practices, value -chain innovations, and innovations in food system governance, 
advancing  their respective readiness level.

- 70 - Name of programme or project  Enabling the WHO -Roadmap 2030  
Objective or purpose  We will establish for the first time in NTDs an adaptive clinical trial platform and improve clinical research 
infrastructure in four SSA countries. A drug acting safely on multiple helminths species would be a major leap to 
tackle NTDs and enable the WHO RoadMap (eWHORM). The cheap and freely -accessible pan -nematode drug 
oxfendazole (OXF) has such potential. Given the limited portfolio of anthelmintic drug candidates, eWHORM will 
assess its efficacy in an adaptive clinical trial for simultaneous evaluation  against onchocerciasis, loiasis, 
mansonellosis and trichuriasis. Thus not only the largest group of NTDs, but also diseases that are not (yet) 
listed will be addressed . This design significantly reduces patient numbers, development time -frames and enables  
treatment of co -infections. Combined with our highly sensitive molecular tests, we provide a patient -centric 
approach providing tools for targeted treatment (test and treat) and precision mapping for elimination programs. 
Strengthening of early career sci entists in SSA in all aspects of clinical trial conduct and research including data 
management, simulation and statistical analysis, will be fostered by introducing a master and PhD program, a 
mentorship program as well as several webinars. An open -source virtual training and assessment tool for 
diagnosis of NTDs will complement the knowledge transfer to remote areas in SSA. The consortium encompasses 
an interdisciplinary partnership from eight different countries (Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzer land, 
Cameroon, Gabon, Tanzania, and DRC). Each group brings unique knowhow and recognized complementary 
experience to the project to ensure sustainable capacity building within SSA countries. Through joint 
development of – and training in – modern, regula tory clinical trial conduct, adaptive clinical trial design and 
state-of-the-art diagnostics, we will strengthen SSA researchers and clinicians to respond to persisting and future 
health challenges.

- 72 - Name of programme or project  Severe neonatal infection adaptive platform trials in Africa  
Objective or purpose  SNIP-AFRICA aims to establish a clinical research network and architecture to implement adaptive platform trials 
in sub -Saharan Africa (SSA), responding to the urgent need for improved treatment of childhood infection in an 
era of increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR).  SNIP -AFRICA focuses on the high -burden, high -impact group 
of inpatient neonates and infants with sepsis. This is a group especially affected by escalatin g rates of AMR in 
SSA healthcare facilities contributing to much slower than desirable improvements in neonatal mortality across 
SSA.  The project will address all aspects of APTs in neonatal sepsis from defining potential treatments of interest 
to transla tion into clinical guidance, and will deliver interventional studies in the two domains of neonatal dose 
confirmation and drug regimen selection. The network and architecture could be readily extended to include 
older children in hospital with infections w ith epidemic potential.  SNIP -AFRICA will achieve its aim by bringing 
together partners from the global North and SSA, including several with experience in designing and running 
adaptive platform trials and complex randomised controlled trials in SSA. The project therefore builds on existing 
expertise and capacity to enable an innovative response to the major threat to child health of AMR through a 
new architecture and extended network. The work plan includes Project Management, Coordination and 
Communicati on (WP1), Clinical and Microbiological Surveillance (WP2), Adaptive Platform Core Protocol and 
Governance (WP3), Pharmacokinetics for Adaptive Platform Trial (WP4), Complex Adaptive Drug Regimen Trial 
(WP5), Training and Capacity building for Adaptive Tria ls (WP6) and Stakeholder Engagement and Integration 
(WP7).  SNIP -AFRICA aims to trigger a paradigm shift in interventional research in severe childhood infection 
and to equip a network of SSA institutions and researchers to conduct innovative, efficient, t argeted research in 
this area.

- 74 - Name of programme or project  Strengthening Ethics and Responsible conduct of Clinical Trials in East and Sub -Saharan Africa  
Objective or purpose  The increased number of Clinical Trials taking place in Africa as well as the complexity of Clinical Trials designs 
require that the countr ies have the regulatory capacity to review, monitor and utilize data generated from the 
research. Research Ethics Committees/Institutional Review Boards, Institutional Animal Care and Use 
Committees and National Regulatory Agencies (NRAs) are required to b e abreast with the evolving landscape 
thus require continuous capacity building as well as have platforms to share Clinical Trials information with both 
the public and private sector. The 11th Annual National Research Ethics Conference held in 2021 in Ugan da 
highlighted challenges in the low and middle income countries for research ethics and open science specifically, 
the lack of infrastructure for open data sharing and fair data management. Specifically, i) lack of the national 
and regional guidelines and  codes of conduct for scientific integrity ii) limited training and education in responsible 
conduct of research and pharmacovigilance. This proposal focuses on strengthening ethics and responsible 
conduct of Clinical Trials in East and Sub -Saharan Africa project through the establishment of a research ethics 
and integrity framework, open data access framework for Clinical Trials, E -learning platform for the Good 
Research Regulatory Research Practice Course and establishing Research Ethics Committees in Nat ional Regional 
Hospitals. The consortium will leverage on the legal establishment of the institutions, collaborative efforts with 
the partner institutions, East African Health Research Commission (EAHRC), African Vaccine Regulatory Forum 
(AVAREF). Having a  robust regulatory system, encompassing research integrity and open science will ensure 
that Clinical Trials is conducted to the highest ethical standards and in compliance with existing polices and laws, 
hence protection of safety, rights and welfare of t he individual participants, community, researcher and sponsors.

- 76 - Name of programme or project  Buildi ng resilient research ethics, Diagnostics and medicines regulatory capacity during routine and 
public health emergency periods  
Objective or purpose  An effective and strong regulatory system for health technologies is critical, especially during epidemics and 
pandemic situations. The demand for rapid approval and application of a variety of health technologies including 
diagnostics and medicines during COVID -19 has reawakened the world to the urgent need to have resilient 
regulatory capacities tha t can respond in a timely manner with corresponding efficiency. National Medicines 
Regulatory Authorities and Research Ethics Committees are duty bound to prepare and be ready to respond in 
any health emergency. Through EDCTP -2-funded projects namely SMERT , PROFORMA, PAVIA and ASCEND, 
substantial progress has been made on strengthening some procedures for clinical trial control and 
pharmacovigilance. These projects have enabled Tanzania to attain WHO Maturity level 3, making it a role model 
in East Africa. Despite of this, health technologies regulation in Tanzania has struggled to cope with emergencies 
as witnessed in the COVID -19 pandemics due to limited capacity in the area of Research Ethics, therapeutics, 
vaccines, medical devices and other health techn ologies. We now propose BREEDIME to further build our capacity 
in the context of epidemic and pandemic preparedness. BREEDIME will enable Tanzania to achieve rapid response 
clinical trial regulatory capacity for therapeutics, vaccines, and diagnostics; cap acity for post -market evaluation 
and appraisal of health technologies; establish research ethics framework for electronic health data and materials 
storage, access and sharing within and outside the country; and establish a south -south learning centre in c linical 
trials regulatory and ethical review capacities. These objectives will be achieved through engagement of 
stakeholders in academia, civil society, public and government to generate evidence to inform new regulatory 
guidelines. This will strengthen h ealth technologies regulation and will enable rapid access to health care and 
technology during emergency. Rwanda, which recently established her Food and Drugs Agency will become the 
first mentee under the BREEDIME south -south networking in ethics and med icines regulatory capacity building. 
The impact of the outputs of this study will be ensuring safety of pre - and post - registration health technologies 
in Tanzania and East Africa at large.

- 78 - Name of programme or project  Severe Malaria treatment with Rectal artesunate and Artemisinin -based Combination Therapy [in 
remote settings]  
Objective or purpose  Annually, almost 500,000 children under 5 years die from malaria in Africa. Timely access to effective antimalarial 
therapies is life saving as treatment with pre -referral rectal artesunate (RAS), followed by injectable artesunate 
and 3 days treatment with ACTs leads to an observed 96% reduction in mortality. Though recommended by the 
WHO for years, RAS dep loyment is very limited. The full treatment paradigm is not always feasible when access 
to primary healthcare facilities is limited due to lack of transport, non -availability of services, and cost. Rollout 
has recently been paused as outcomes data is incom plete in these contexts making the development of best 
practice recommendations challenging. Hence the relevance of the proposed study. The proposed project is an 
observational, non -inferiority study in Zambia and DRC. Community Health Care Workers will id entify/diagnose, 
treat and follow up patients with (severe) malaria as part of integrated community case management. We will 
compare the efficacy of a treatment regimen consisting of pre -referral RAS, then post -referral injectable 
artesunate, followed by t hree days of ACT versus a regimen consisting of RAS alone followed by three days of 
ACT in remote areas. We will compare recurrence rate between the two regimens at Day 28, the number of lives 
saved, the risk of generating drug resistance. We will assess a nd mitigate operational and institutional facilitators 
and barriers in all stakeholders (patients, caregivers, health care providers, regulators, malaria experts) and 
recommend sustainable policies for this remote context. This generated evidence will supp ort policy development 
and implementation. The proposed consortium brings together vital experience in the rollout and deployment of 
rectal artesunate, study design and execution, social science, data collection and management, stakeholder 
engagement and t ranslation of research results into clinical practice.

- 84 - Name of programme or project  Stop transmission of gambiense human African trypanosomiasis  
Objective or purpose  Gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (gHAT) is a neglected tropical disease caused by trypanosome 
parasites. gHAT is fatal if left untreated. So far, treatment op tions for gHAT were limited and toxic, forcing control 
programs to avoid overtreatment through complex diagnostic procedures, including screening with a serological 
test, laborious microscopic confirmation of seropositives and lumbar puncture for disease s tage determination. 
This resulted in loss of up to 50% of gHAT cases, which remained untreated. Recently a non -toxic single dose 
oral drug, acoziborole, has shown 98.1% efficacy in a phase III trial, irrespective of gHAT disease stage. 
Acoziborole removes the need for lumbar puncture and appears safe enough to treat serological suspects without 
microscopic confirmation (Screen & treat). The STROGHAT project 1° will evaluate effectiveness of a Screen & 
treat approach to rapidly reduce gHAT prevalence in an e ntire focus; 2° will extend acoziborole safety 
documentation; 3° and will analyze costs of this new approach. To achieve these objectives, Screen & treat will 
be implemented, actively and passively, for 3 consecutive years in the gHAT focus of Nord Equateu r in D.R. 
Congo. Available geographical information will be exploited to specifically target villages where gHAT was 
recently, or still is present. Detection at a reference laboratory, of the trypanosomes nucleic acids in blood 
collected before treatment, will retrospectively identify true gHAT cases among the treated serological suspects. 
After 3 years of intervention, the gHAT prevalence in the focus will be re -estimated. STROGHAT intends to 
provide the first evidence for recommending Screen & treat to na tional HAT control programs for elimination of 
gHAT. Through facilitated diagnosis, increased acceptability and access to treatment, STROGHAT will contribute 
to achieving the goal of stopping gHAT transmission by 2030, as defined by the World Health Organi zation.

- 89 - Name of program me or project  Open Modelling Toolbox for development of long -term pathways for the energy system in Africa  
Objective or purpose  OpenMod4Africa aims to develop an open Toolbox populated with state -of-the-art models for analysing long -
term pathways to susta inable, secure and competitive energy systems in Africa. The Toolbox will build on EU 
projects like Open ENTRANCE, Plan4RES and FocusAfrica, and will adapt and further develop open models in 
accordance with the African context and needs. The models are sca lable, and can be applied to cities, industries 
and countries. Furthermore, a main objective for OpenMod4Africa is capacity building among energy models in 
academia. Four African universities will be actively involved in adapting models and conducting two regional case 
studies. The additional capacity and the open Toolbox will enable the universities to train new generations of 
energy modelling experts for the energy industries in Africa. A network of energy industries and universities in 
25 African countri es will also be engaged. These players will be invited to use the Toolbox, and to be involved in 
training activities. They will also be invited to a permanent network of expertise, which will be developed for 
further capacity building and collaboration bey ond the project. Two case studies will develop energy pathways 
for rural areas, cities, countries and large regions of countries in Western and Eastern Africa. The replication 
strategies will pave the way for further analyses beyond the project. Finally, O penMod4Africa aims to collaborate 
with other ongoing initiatives to maximize the impacts of the project and create synergies. The consortium 
consists of 12 partners and 2 associated partners. Five partners are African. Important long -term impacts from 
the three -year project include enabling academia and decision -makers in Africa to conduct their own analyses 
for the optimal development of their energy system, supplying energy to a much larger share of the population, 
and establishing a system based upon the  abundant share of renewables on the continent.

- 92 - Name of pro gramme or project  Strengthening Environmental Surveillance to Advance Public Health Action  
Objective or purpose  The ODIN project aims at strengthening capacity for genomics and bioinformatics database management skills 
for generating, maintaining, and querying large genomic epidemiology data sets in sub -Saharan countries. To 
reach this goal, ODIN will develop a genomic surveillance system relying on environmental monitoring of major 
communicable disease agents and antimicrobial resistan ce in community wastewater and other environmental 
samples containing human and animal excreta. In a socially and ethically acceptable anonymous manner, 
environmental surveillance systems follow the trends in prevalence and may detect the outbreaks of 
comm unicable diseases in human communities and to convey this information to key stakeholders for the 
efficient implementation of data -driven public health policies. A strong and innovative aspect of this project is 
the combination of various semi -automatic bi oinformatics tools for the processing and analysis of genomic 
epidemiology data, disseminated through a visual dashboard, providing means for timely public health 
interventions. The ODIN project implements the three pillars of the One Health framework: hum an health, 
animal health and the environment, which is crucial for communicable disease epidemiology in resource - and 
infrastructure -poor regions. Together with extensive training activities, ODIN implementation will result in a 
substantial strengthening i n the capacity and infrastructure in sub -Saharan countries for genomic epidemiology. 
Networking and capacity building are an integrated part of the project activities and will comprise 
communication activities with stakeholders and training of MSc and PhD students. By its multi -disciplinary team, 
ODIN will contribute to setting up a sustainable model for how environmental surveillance systems can support 
the control of poverty -related and emerging/re -emerging infections in sub -Saharan Africa and promote the  
public health interventions targeting safe water supply and sanitation.

- 94 - Name of programme or project  Boosting Drought Tolerance in Key Cereals in the Era of Climate Change  
Objective or purpose  Prolonged drought due to climate change has a severe impact on agriculture, requiring measures to secure yield 
stability under water -shortage conditions. This project aims to be a BOOSTER for developing innovative and 
sustainable strategies to create climate resilient and drought tolerant cereals. Two  synergistic strategies will be 
implemented to achieve this goal. Firstly, a new approach will identify genomic variants in regulatory regions 
functionally associated with drought tolerance. Novel regulatory elements underlying resilience will inform 
efficient breeding efforts to create new drought tolerant cereal varieties. Secondly, novel seaweed extracts and 
microbial biostimulants will be developed as an eco -friendly approach for improving drought resilience. The two 
strategies will be tested in two cer eals with different responsiveness to drought: European maize and Ethiopian 
teff, a cereal with high genetic similarity to the desiccation tolerant Eragrostis nindensis. BOOSTER will improve 
drought tolerance in both maize and teff, while simultaneously ex ploring the potential for transferring species -
specific drought responsive features. By exploiting natural genetic variation to achieve drought tolerant 
genotypes and by developing biostimulants derived from living organisms, BOOSTER will take advantage of  the 
already available natural resources to steer our agriculture towards novel drought tolerant varieties. Importantly, 
BOOSTER approaches and results are transferable to other crops. A tailored communication/dissemination 
strategy and a stakeholders ' engagement plan will ensure the expected outcomes and impacts. The project will 
produce increased maize - and teff -derived biomass resources under harsh drought conditions, will lower 
irrigation requirement, will strengthen competitiveness of European and Afri can agri -food industry, and will 
provide concrete examples for improving public awareness about a sustainable use of bio -based technologies.

- 98 - Name of programme or project  Optimising a High Efficacy Plasmodium vivax Malaria Vaccine  
Objective or purpose  "Plasmodium vivax is the most widespread human malaria with 2.5 billion people living at risk in South America, 
Oceania and Asia. The revised Malaria Vaccine Technology Roadmap to 2030 recognises the severity of P. vivax 
malaria, calling for a vaccine inter vention to achieve 75% efficacy over two years, now equally weighted with P. 
falciparum. However, if this ambition is to be realised, new and innovative approaches are urgently required to 
accelerate next -generation vaccine research and development, whilst  the few known candidate antigens need to 
undergo early -phase clinical assessment.  Here, we build on exciting breakthroughs in P. vivax vaccine research, 
recently pioneered in Europe, including new transgenic parasite technologies for functional assay dev elopment 
and production of a parasite clone that is safe for use in controlled human malaria infection (CHMI) clinical 
models. The Objectives of OptiViVax will now integrate ambitious multi -disciplinary scientific and clinical 
approaches around the parasit e's lifecycle and will use our increased knowledge of P. vivax immuno -biology to 
further develop next -generation vaccines with improved efficacy. We will diversify the portfolio of new antigens 
ready for clinical testing by reverse vaccinology and diversif y their delivery with new platforms and adjuvants 
developed using sustainable and improved GMP bio -manufacturing know -how. In parallel, the efficacy of known 
leading antigens will be benchmarked for the first time using innovative design of clinical studie s and CHMI 
models making these lead candidate vaccines ready for future field trials. Improved preclinical functional assays, 
using state -of-the-art transgenic parasite lines, will also allow for mechanisms of antibody -mediated protection 
to be deciphered.  The availability of new functional assays and human challenge models will underpin the future 
framework for informed decision making by the clinical vaccine community, policy makers, funders and 
regulators. "

world has fallen short of its promise to include non -scientists in its process; to account for individual choices and 
lifestyle changes that are indirectly narrated as assumptions not interacting with the vividly modelled technology -
economy -environment -policy flows; and to place climate action as a cross -cutting theme in the sustainability 
spectrum. IAM COMPACT will support the assessment of global climate goals, progress, and feasibility space, as 
well as the design of the next round of NDCs and policy pl anning beyond 2030 for major emitters and non -high-
income countries. We will use a diverse ensemble of models, tools, and insights from social and political sciences 
and operations research, and will integrate bodies of knowledge to co -create the research process and enhance 
transparency, robustness, and policy relevance. We will explore the role of structural changes in major emitting 
sectors and of political, behaviour, and social aspects in mitigation; quantify factors promoting or hindering 
climate neut rality; and account for extreme scenarios, to deliver a range of global and national pathways that 
are environmentally effective, economically viable, politically feasible, and socially desirable. In doing so, we will 
fully account for COVID -19 impacts and  recovery strategies, and align climate action with broader sustainability 
goals, while developing technical capacity and promoting ownership in non -high-income countries. "

- 121 - Name of programme or project  Czech Perinatology Hands Fly to Cambodia (maternal and newborn care in a newly built 
perinatology unit)  
Output or impact  Cambodia 's health sector has made significant progress in recent decades, but foreign assistance remains an 
essential factor for further improvement. Proper medical equipment is an integral part of good healthcare and 
medical beds produced by Linet are recognised for their outstanding technical parameters. This need was 
addressed by this project in order to support the overall impro vement of perinatal care in the National Pediatric 
Hospital in Phnom Penh and Kampong Chhnang province. The project aims to reduce neonatal, under -five and 
maternal mortality by improving access to antenatal and postnatal care and training of health worker s by Czech 
experts experienced in various fields of medicine. The design of the care system is based on experience in the 
Czech Republic but takes into account local human and material capacity, as well as the knowledge of the 
professional staff and local needs.

- 122 - Name of programme or project  Interlocking Bricks for Kashitu  
Objective or purpose  The Czech Technical University in Prague and their local partner New Renato Community Society introduce a 
manual brick -press machine and improved unfired brick production technology to the region. The unfired brick 
represents a technology historically used  in Zambia. This is also a favourable option for building constructions 
as Zambian timber stocks used for brick firing are limited, wood is endangered by wood -eating insects common 
in this area and further deforestation may represent an environmental issue . Proven technology of high -quality 
and durable construction material (which was subject to multiple stress tests) and a simple building tool that is 
easy to use for everyone and at a reasonable cost create an opportunity to promote construction and encour age 
small businesses. Complex analysis of the local conditions (analysis of the local soil, building degradation over 
time, rainfall pattern) preceded the machine construction in order to adapt the technology to the specific needs. 
This building technology  improves traditional brick production to high -quality bricks with interlocking features in 
a shape similar to toy bricks. The introduced system provides easy manipulation and a simple building process. 
Brick machines will bring a great alternative in the field of building materials for the local community. Compared 
to traditional bricks, the presented bricks are stable in their dimensions, stronger, more durable, and do not 
need to be burnt. At the same time, the entire production process is significantly faster. Moreover, the technology 
will be right away applied on the spot - local inhabitants are provided with training courses finished with the 
construction of the model building using unfired brick technology. The shared know -how of locals and the Czech 
Technical University has a strong potential to improve upon traditional technology and bring a wide range of 
business and local infrastructure opportunities.

- 123 - Name of programme or project  Interlocking Bricks for Kashitu  
Output or impact  Kashitu is a rural Zambian area in Central Province with 18.000 inhabitants. The project is tackling multiple 
interconnected needs in the area. An initiative of improved building technology and related technology of bricks 
production development directly stems from the reque st of the local community and the local partner New Renato 
Community Society. This non -profit organisation engages in rural development which is inseparably connected 
with appropriate education and provides rural inhabitants with training in e.g. beekeepin g, agriculture and good 
nutrition. All these activities lead to the establishment of local businesses using the available sources. In 
cooperation with them, insufficient infrastructure (including a secondary school) was identified as a crucial 
problem in t his area. To construct the proper civic amenities for business and education, adopted technology 
should be used. It will not only enhance the local technology know -how using the already -existing improved 
technology, but it will also promote the social deve lopment of all population groups and the improvement of 
living conditions.

- 124 - Name of programme or project  Smart Technology Transfer for Ethiopia  
Objective or purpose  The project will use UNICO 's EXPERTS.AI platform, which collects information on university assets such as 
experts, publications, research projects, technologies or patents, to improve the commercialisation of academic 
research results and to raise awareness among private investors a bout the research conducted by two leading 
Ethiopian universities - Jimma University and Hawassa University. Through EXPERTS.AI widgets, all university 
assets are presented in a structured and appealing way on university websites to the private sector.  AI  algorithms 
will help create profiles of academic experts and their achievements, as well as enable personalised searches 
and intelligent recommendations.  In addition, experts from local university Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs) 
will be trained in sev eral transfer workshops on how to build a network of stakeholders for technology transfer 
and how to apply scientific activity in the commercial sector. A start -up competition, planned by UNICO as one 
of the follow -up activities of the project, should also  further promote business know -how in situ.

Output or impact  In 2012, Ethiopia adopted a new Science, Technology and Innovation Policy, which identified technology transfer 
as one of the critical policy areas. As a result, TTOs have been establis hed in universities across the country. 
However, effective links between academic institutions and the private sector (industry) contributing to the 
commercialisation of technology (inseparably linked to successful technology transfer) and increased indust rial 
productivity, have not been established. Thus, there is a lack of awareness of the benefits of mutual cooperation. 
The Czech company UNICO.AI, together with its local partner Hawassa University, is addressing this challenge 
through improved data manag ement and effective presentation of research results to local businesses and the 
public sector, with a focus on presenting university research centres to private investors.   Having in view that 
the local technology training is important for the project su ccess and to ensure the adaptation of the technology 
to local needs, the university TTOs are significantly involved in the project. The local experts will be trained on 
how to master the provided technology and knowledge, thus the absorptive capacity of th e technology transfer 
recipient will be enhanced. The aspect of technological learning and technology commercialisation should enable 
local experts to establish the local technological base.

- 126 - Name of programme or project  Safer Roads in Ethiopia Through  Identification of High Risk Locations  
Objective or purpose  In order to find a long -term solution for road safety in Addis Ababa, issues on a systemic level should be 
addressed,  while the availability of source data is a prerequisite for this approach.  This project develops an 
analytical traffic safety map (using GLayer technology) and dashboards focused on the interactive analysis of 
traffic accidents. This solution will transform complex data into charts and maps and visualize the most 
problematic areas. Such user -friendly data presentation allows for a  deep analysis of traffic safety to identify 
high-risk locations and to get in -depth knowledge of factors that increase the risk of severe accidents. These 
data-driven insights using both hist orical and real -time data can help decision -makers of Addis Ababa at different 
levels of governance gain important information to better design, implement and evaluate measures aimed at 
reducing road accidents. The data -based solution contributes to the Et hiopian Development Challenge related to 
Sustainable urbanization and Smart City technologies, including strategic benchmarking tools for economic 
growth via Big Data usage.

Field of technology  Visual analytics of big geospatial data for traffic safety  
Category of technology  Information and communications technology  
Output or impact  The project stems from a need for a long -term safety solution while identifying the causes of the accidents at a 
systemic level, which could enable changes in a road traffic system. According to the Global Road Safety Facility, 
WHO estimated more than 27.000 r oad accident fatalities in Ethiopia in 2016, which corresponds to 26,7 fatalities 
per 100.000 population, mostly pedestrians. Victims of the accidents are mostly children and young people. To 
produce positive road safety outcomes, strong management in all aspects of road safety is the key, including 
improvement of road design and operation of the traffic. Many cities have created and adopted urban mobility 
plans and strategies based on the data sets. However, the data used to inform these strategies often c ome from 
siloed sources and so helpful insights that could be used to inform traffic safety policy remain unlocked.  This is 
why the Czech company InnoConnect together with their local partners G Andy Engineering Consult PLC and 
Addis Ababa City Administra tion Traffic Management Agency through Challenge Fund implement the project 
Safer Roads in Ethiopia through identification of high -risk locations.

Technology transfer refers to the ways and means through which companies, individuals and organizations acquire technology or  know -how from third 
parties, whether such technology is IPR -protected or not, including know -how. More often than not, technology transfer is one component of a complex 
project. LDCs acquiring a viable technological base depends on both the provision of technology or equipment and on acquisiti on of relevant know -how, 
management and production skills, improved access to knowledge sources.

- 131 - Name of programme or project  Africa Agri -Food Development Programme  
Output or impact  For African countries to move "beyond aid " they must increase their own trade and attract investors. The 
development of business and agri -trade is a priority for many African countries where the majority of the 
population live in rural areas and are dependent on farm incomes. Many agricultural int erventions have relied on 
increasing primary production of food and cash crops without adequate investment in developing markets, 
infrastructure and the necessary investment climate for business. There is broad consensus amongst 
development partners that i ncreased, local, regional and international trade will drive food production in 
developing countries. For investors, Africa still poses many difficulties. Many Irish investors perceive Africa as a 
high risk environment due to a combination of limited human  resources, weak services and fragile governance 
structures.  In the Irish context, we recognise the benefits of partnerships between private sector investors, 
development agencies and host governments. The desirable outcome is investment, growth and trade  that is 
inclusive (meaning it delivers for the poor and/or marginalised groups), profitable and sustainable beyond the 
normal cycle of development assistance programmes.  The Irish agri -food sector can play a central role in the 
development of agri -busine ss in Africa by bringing a much needed business perspective to the sector, supported 
where possible by investment and mutually beneficial trade. Irish expertise, both public and private, in areas 
such as animal health, food production, veterinary practice,  food safety, agri -food business is well established 
and respected internationally. These kinds of expertise represent a significant learning resource for the agri -food 
sector in developing countries.  
Status of the programme or project  Other (There was on e call for applications, launched in March 2023. It was originally scheduled for 1 February, 
but postponed due to clashes in the schedule of respective Ministers, and our own competing commitments. This 
process is still ongoing and has not proceeded to awa rd stage at the time of reporting.  Grants linked to this new 
call are expected to be disbursed in Q3 2023. It is planned that going forward there will be two calls for 
applications a year, tentatively planned to take place in Q1 and Q3 of each year. As par t of the follow up to 
recommendations from an external review of Private Sector Engagement in Ireland 's development programming, 
the DFA put out two tenders to (i) contract a communications company to help raise the profile of the programme 
and (ii) a tech nical services provider to deliver due diligence and investment advisory supports. These were 
awarded to Fuzion Communications and Vanguard Economics in August 2021.)

Nature of incentive measure  The main objective is to strengthen low -carbon economic growth in East Africa by supporting the development of 
renewable energy, cross -border connections and regional grid stability in the Kagera region, as well as in the 
neighbouring regions of Tanzania an d Uganda.  
Financial implications  EUR 110,000,000 over 25  years  
Field of technology  Renewable energy  
Category of technology  Environmentally friendly  or sustainable technology  
Output or impact  The project is in line with the specific objectives of the National Energy Policy (2015) of improving electricity 
reliability and the coverage of transmission and distribution networks; increasing the use of renewable energy in 
the generation mix; and accelerating rural electrification to foster economic transformation. The project is a 
priority of the Power System Master Plan 2020 update.  For Tanzania, at the national level: reliance on electricity 
supply in the underserved Kagera region will improve and provide increased access to affordable an d reliable 
energy; the share of renewable energy in Tanzania's electricity mix will increase; the project will reduce the 
intensity of national greenhouse gas emissions by 0.33% by avoiding the release of 388,000 tonnes of CO 2 
annually compared to emission s from a thermal (diesel) power plant – the type of plant currently operated by 
TANESCO in the region; the project is expected to have a positive social impact, directly and indirectly, on 
communities in the project area and, more widely, in the regions wh ich will be supplied with electricity 
(1,000  direct jobs, indirect jobs that will benefit local communities and stimulate long -term economic development 
in the region. Fisheries could potentially be set up in the Kakono reservoir). For East Africa, at the regional level: 
the project will contribute to the regional energy market in East Africa; and it will pave the way for the forthcoming 
interconnection between Tanzania and Uganda.
