Name of programme or project  E-Shape: EUR GEOSS Showcases: Application s Powered by Europe  
Objective or purpose  The E -SHAPE proposal is driven by the need to develop operational EO services with and for the users and to 
create a conducive environment whereby the strengths of Europe are exploited towards addressing societal 
challenges, fostering entrepreneurship and supporting sustainable development. The proposal objectives are 1) to 
develop operational EO services with and for users active in key societal sectors; 2) to demonstrate the benefits 
of the EO pilots through the c oordinated downstream exploitation of EO data and the utilization of existing EO 
resources; 3) to promote the uptake of pilots at national and international scale, across vertical markets (private 
and public) and amongst key user communities; 4) to enable the long -term sustainability of the numerous pilots, 
their penetration in public and private markets and support their upscaling; 5) to increase uptake by raising 
awareness on the solutions developed through tailored and well -targeted communication, dissem ination and 
outreach activities. The proposal aims at setting -up and promoting a sustainable organization dedicated to users ' 
uptake of European EO resources, building on Copernicus and GEOSS through the development of co -design pilots 
(i.e. application -oriented products, services or solutions) built on a user -centric approach and delivering economic, 
social and policy value to European citizens. It has also the ambition through the development of 27 pilots 
organized in seven showcases to deliver informatio n that will also contribute to the three GEO engagements (SDGs, 
Paris Agreement and Sendai Framework).

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 entire 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 know ledge 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 assess 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 the next 40 years for the whole At lantic, 
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 eco systems, 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 Co operation, as well as other 
relevant initiatives in the field. We will contribute to upscale cooperation around the Atlantic.

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 t o advancing a radically new approach against Shigella and ETEC based not on the 
immunodominant, but highly variable Shigella LPS O -antigen, target of almost all past and current vaccine 
development efforts. There are four pillars on which the ShigETEC vacc ine has been designed: (i) Elimination of 
the LPS O -antigen to allow recognition of multiple antigens on the cell surface that are shared among different 
serotypes of Shigella and are increasingly being recognized as important in protection from shigellosi s. These 
antigens are also closely related to those of ETEC and may also help in protecting against that pathogen as well. 
(ii) Elimination of the invasiveness of Shigella by disruption of the invasion complex resulting in a much safer/less 
reactogenic ora l 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. (iv) Rational molecular design of ShigETEC will allow future generations of 
vaccines to include additional antigens for other pathogens. The work programme enta ils manufacture of clinical 
trial material, first -in-human testing for safety and immunogenicity in non -endemic adults, a sero -epidemiology 
study to learn about natural immune response to the vaccine, and importantly testing the vaccine in endemic 
populati ons. The Consortium comprises partners from EU and Bangladesh that bring along highly complementary 
expertise.

Name of programme or project  Vaccine Against Schistosomi asis for Africa. A Phase I clinical study of the SchistoShield® anti -
schistosomiasis vaccine in adults in endemic areas of sub -Saharan Africa  
Objective or purpose  Schistosomiasis is a poverty -related neglected tropical disease, impacting one billion peopl e in 74 countries. 
Science ranked a schistosomiasis -vaccine as one of the top -10 vaccines urgently needed. Chemotherapy is the 
preferred method for schistosomiasis control; but the effectiveness of mass -treatment programs is compromised 
by reinfection requ iring regular re -treatment. An efficacious vaccine, with long -lasting protection against all 
schistosomiasis forms, would impact disease control. We request funding 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 s pecies. 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 Schist oShield® 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 antibodi es in the prevention/control of 
Schistosoma infections; and 4) foster a global consortium to advance research on schistosomiasis disease 
burden, vaccines and address 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 
Phase 2 and potential future elimination project

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 purpose  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 schistosomiasis 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 
schistosomia sis forms, would impact disease control. We request funding 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 -
fecundit y, 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 s chistosome 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 rese arch on schistosomiasis disease 
burden, vaccines and address 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 
epidemiol ogical burden data using novel diagnostic techniques will be used to advance clinical development to

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 organisational capacity for 
scaling up, and to de velop and implement strategic roadmaps for each country. Lastly, the project will assess 
the impact of scale up on health outcomes and costs.

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 integrated 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 clinics 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 glucose control), costs of delivering integrated care for the health service 
and cost -effectiveness (compared to current standard car e); to use the data generated to contribute evidence 
to the development of clinical guidelines; to develop the sustainable partnerships needed between researchers, 
government policy makers, public -private partnerships on an ethos of openness and equality s o 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 cost savings for patients and the health service.

Name of programme or project  Human, technical and political facto rs 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. Each 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 factors. 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 existing 
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 into e -health p olicy 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 pa rtners, 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 
Regiona l 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 increased opportun ities for stakeholders in Africa and Europe with the 
overall aim of better health outcomes through better healthcare accessibility and higher quality.

Name of programme or project  Introduction of biomedical engin eering in Cambodia  
Objective or purpose  Technical capacities needed for service, repairs and operation of medical technologies are missing in many 
Cambodian health facilities. The lack of qualified personnel capable of correctly using the equipment preven ts 
these facilities from working to their full potential and often hampers the functionality and sustainability of the 
development projects aimed at procuring high -quality medical technology. Many machines and their components 
are left unused in hospitals due to the absence of specialized workers – biomedical technicians and engineers. 
Most of these professionals are hired from abroad and their service is thus very expensive. This system does not 
allow for operative and flexible solutions to problems when t hey arise. Cambodian high school education system 
currently does not include any institution that would supply these specialized experts. The solution offered by 
this project is the introduction of a new study programme of biomedical engineering in coopera tion between the 
Czech and Cambodian universities.

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 interventions have relied on 
increasing primary production of food and cash crops without adequate investment in develo ping markets, 
infrastructure and the necessary investment climate for business. There is broad consensus amongst 
development partners that increased, 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 par tnerships 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 -business in Africa by bringing a much needed business perspective to the sector, supported 
where possible by investment an d 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 represe nt a significant learning resource for the agri -food 
sector in Developing Countries.  
Status of the programme or project  Other (A new call for applications opened in July 2021. Grants linked to this new call are to be disbursed in Q4 
2021. This call was originally to take place in Q1 but was delayed due to the process to introduce new 
enhancements to the application and evaluation processes to enhance the Programme 's performance and further 
ensure that additionality is achieved in terms of private investm ent and sustainable development impact. 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. A subsequent call opened in Q1 2022, however this has not proceeded to aw ard stage at 
the time of reporting.  As part of the follow up to recommendations from an external review of Private Sector 
Engagement in Ireland 's development programming, the DFA has put out two tenders to (i) contract a 
communications company to help rai se the profile of the programme and (ii) a technical services provider to 
deliver due diligence and investment advisory supports.)  
Duration and timing  The AADP was originally established in 2012 as the 'Africa Agri Food Development Fund '. Following a revi ew in 
2016, it was renamed the AADP and re -launched in July 2017.

Output or impact  ECOWAS - one of its objectives is to foster intraregional trade by overcoming technical barriers to trade through 
coordinated efforts in an efficient way. This strategy establishes the political superstructure of – and establishes 
the technical link between – the individual sub -regional techn ical networks; its effectiveness is mainly evident at 
the macro and at the meso level. The understanding of the abstract term of quality and its transformation into 
specific cross -sectoral actions is promoted. The African institutions which form the infras tructure for quality will 
establish the framework conditions in accordance with international agreements, thereby achieving a better 
acceptance of African products. The successful negotiation of the Continental Free Trade Area ensures the 
harmonization of procedures and technical requirements; technical barriers to trade will be removed. This will 
facilitate the exchange of goods and services and, thus, the promotion of trade.
