Its expertise is central to 8 of the 17 Strategic Development Goals and related to 7 others. In its Belgian programme, ITM pursues its over-all goal of improving health in developing countries through (1) academic capacity strengthening of individuals and institutes; (2) policy support and networking; (3) de-velopment education and advocacy. Academic strengthening includes scholarships for training at ITM and the constitution of an Academic Alliance with institutional partners from the South. This Alliance will be built up gradually as a platform for joint activities including student and staff exchange, global fellowships, quality assurance, curriculum development and digital learning forms. Policy support to the Directorate General Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid (DGD) and other Belgian and global actors will offer specific expertise in DGD's designated priority fields, and will also be fed by networks of actors at national (Be-cause Health) and international (International Health Policy) level. Development education and advocacy will focus on global health awareness in general, political and professional constituencies; the effectiveness of north-south partnerships; and international meetings in which scientists and experts from the South can raise their voice.
PROG17-21_03OC1_To strengthen the research capacity related to health in the resource limited setting of Burkina Faso The new 5-year program builds on the ongoing collaboration between the Clinical Research Unit of Nanoro (CRUN) and the Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM). It aims specifically to strengthen the research capacity in the resource limited setting of Nanoro. The program will expand and strengthen CRUN laboratory capacities towards biomedical and molecular studies, including parasite and bacterial genotyping and biomarker studies. Given the changing epidemiological context CRUN intends to extend its portfolio to diagnostics and epidemiology of invasive bacterial diseases and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) in a health context. The collaboration with hospitals and public health institutes will be strengthened to build capacity for management of bacterial diseases and conduct interventions in the fields of antibiotic stewardship, infection control, clinical trials behavioral studies. In order to evaluate disease burdens and incidence for directing public health interventions, the Health and Demographic Surveillance System will be exploited to monitor the impact of malaria control measures, to address the etiological spectrum of non-malaria febrile illnesses and to study the socio-cultural factors of human health behavior. Interventions can only be successful and sustainable when the human capital is strengthened. Therefore the program will focus on exchange between CRUN, Centre Muraz and ITM staff, provide trainings and support doctoral and master of science candidates, taking into account the gender balance.

PROG17-21_07OC1_To strengthen the Institute of Tropical Medicine Alexander von Humboldt (IMTAvH)'s Research and Development (R&D) capacities to deliver strategies and/or tools for diagnosis, surveillance and control of infectious diseases The Institute of Tropical Medicine Alexander von Humboldt has a longstanding relationship with the Institute of Tropical Medicine of Antwerp in the frame of fundamental and translational research for improving health. We have developed over the years a strong partnership in the area of infectious diseases that pose significant public health concerns in Peru and the Latin American region (and globally as well): leishmaniasis, malaria, tuberculosis (TB), human T-lymphotropic virus-1 (HTLV-1) associated diseases, and bacterial diseases. Current proposal builds further on the acquired knowledge and experience, and includes an additional component on arboviral infections. Through scientific collaboration, we believe we can have a positive effect on treatment and prevention of the mentioned conditions, by acting at various levels. While the leishmaniasis, HTLV-1, and arbovirus components focus on development of field-applicable diagnostic assays, malaria is developing a point-of-care (POC) diagnostic tool for vulnerable populations and molecular tools for surveillance (in view of malaria elimination), and TB research is directed on surveillance and prevention. Further, we can positively impact treatment of bacterial diseases by monitoring of resistance against antimicrobial agents. In all these domains, we will work in settings relevant for the patients or populations at risk. Further, we will strengthen local human capacity in the institute by supporting doctoral and postdoctoral researchers.

Power of Voices Fair For All Improving Value Chains at Scale The FAIR For All Project is a five-year project. Its main focus is to support and strengthen Civil Society Organisations to play their diverse roles where value chains are transformed from the dominance of primary commodity exports into a situation where there are better linkages with regional and domestic economies, domestic production and enterprise and the rights of communities, producers and workers are protected and enhanced.

Supporting CSOs today is more crucial than ever as their space to keep duty bearers accountable and providing innovative ways to transform economies. Activists, human rights defenders and journalists are increasingly harassed, and their organizations increasingly face restrictions and struggle to secure sufficient funding.

Supporting CSOs today is more crucial than ever as their space to keep duty bearers accountable is more and more being compromised. Activists, human rights defenders and journalists are increasingly harassed, and their organizations increasingly face restrictions and struggle to secure sufficient funding. The Ghana FAIR for ALL Programme has four main focus areas:

1. Strengthen local civil society to collect evidence of rights abuses in primary commodity value chains especially in minerals (gold) and salt value chains,
2. Support communities in seeking redress and hold public and private-sector actors to account.
3. Strengthen civil society to advocate towards mining companies, agribusinesses and their suppliers and traders, primarily through multi-stakeholder engagement, to advance women’s economic empowerment, prevent rights abuses and ensure a living incomes, specifically in Salt and Artisanal gold mining.
4. Promote fiscal and trade regimes that enable better domestic capture of value and transformation in value chains. Ensure value is redistributed to support local value chains that are owned and led by domestic enterprises.
