South-African Higher Education Institutions as drivers of change for health and wellbeing The objective is to enable South-African Higher Education Institutions as Drivers of Change for Health and Wellbeing. Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being is essential to achieve sustainable development. The complex interrelationships of factors affecting human and animal health, the well-being of the population and universal health coverage, require a move away from siloed to integrated and collaborative approaches which incorporate diverse disciplinary perspectives as exemplified by the One Health, “Whole of Society” approaches to health (cf. interlinkages).
In this South African programme, the two partners, Department of Veterinary Tropical Diseases (DVTD, University of Pretoria) and School of Public Health (SOPH, University of the Western Cape), will work together aiming to contribute to the long-term goal to improve the health and wellbeing of vulnerable populations in South Africa and beyond, making sure no one is left behind. Each partner will have a specific pathway of change and entry point to this long-term goal. DVTD will focus on infectious diseases of poverty in vulnerable, ru...(+6 characters extra in FundHub text) The target groups on an institutional level are DVTD (UP) and SOPH (UWC).

Capacity building & policy support in parasitological disease surveillance & diagnosis in Vietnam NIMPE becomes a sustainable driver of change in parasitic disease research to inform policy and create improved surveillance and control- and elimination strategies in Vietnam. This five-year programme aims to contribute to the reduction of the burden and impact of malaria and food- and waterborne parasitic diseases in Vietnam. Ultimately the programme wants to eliminate malaria in Vietnam. We want to contribute to SDG Goal 3: ‘Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages. For this programme, partners from Belgium and Vietnam will work together, through science and for societal impact. Reaching the objective will greatly benefit local communities and will contribute to reduce health inequality in ethnic minority populations in Vietnam, Leaving No One Behind (LNOB).
To do so, we will enable NIMPE to become a sustainable driver of change in infectious disease research, surveillance and control and elimination in Vietnam. By addressing capacity gaps in terms of research methodology and laboratory capacity at NIMPE, diagnostic and surveillance strategies for parasitic diseases in Vietnam will be improved, through their direct role as the executor of- and technical advisor for parasitic control in Vietnam. This will result in high quality evidence that can directly contribute to policy for prevention, control and elimination of parasitic diseases. With the resulting changes in policy, we will contribute to the reduction of malaria cases, containment of antimalarial resistance and development of tailored strategies to eventually eliminate both P. falciparum and P. vivax malaria in Vietnam. In addition, the programme aims to reduce the impact of food- and waterborne parasitic diseases in Vietnam, in particular (re)emerging zoonotic infections. These parasitic diseases, including malaria are disproportionally affecting ethnic minorities. Thereby, with a focus on these diseases and the communities that are affected by them, we hope to develop strategies that are specifically tailored to these populations. The main target group on an institutional level is the National Institute of Malariology, Parasitology and Entomology: strengthened capacity for research for policy. We’ll also target NIMPE scientific staff, and master and PhD level students. As well as local communities, especially ethnic minorities, migrants and mobile populations in Vietnam. Plus, health centre staff at the local level (provincial, district and communal) where policies and strategies are implemented.

Promouvoir le dveloppement de la Riziculture dans la plaine de Bugarama KOIMUNYA is a ooperative of rice farmers growing rice in the Bugarama lowlands in Rusizi District, Western Province of Rwanda. It is an area very favorable to rice growing. The 2,362 farmers produce good quantities of paddy, but far from being enough to supply the five rice processing factories in their area. Moreover, the infrastructures that the cooperative members use are very old and not enough, taking into account the current production quantities, which they plan to even increase further. Lack of transport means also hinders the smooth collection of paddy, which in addition has a negative impact on quality and quantity (post-harvest losses). Being a certified seed multiplier, KOIMUNYA lacks enough budget to take advantage of that facility. They wish to be given support to address these challenges and take advantage of that unsatisfied market (5 factories to supply). KOIMUNYA is the largest cooperatve in the area.
