Starting EDCTP2
In 2014, EDCTP prepared for its second programme to start. The governance of EDCTP was changed to best fit the equal ownership and partnership model which invites African states to join and fully participate in policy and decision making with their European counterparts. This required a change of legal structure to an international Association under the Dutch law. These efforts culminated with the launch of EDCTP2 on 2 December 2014.
“It is my sincere belief that this is the beginning of many greater things to come including a future in which Africa and Europe, along with other international partners, will work hand-in-hand to jointly invest in R&D to fight poverty-related and neglected diseases.”
Prof. Charles Mgone, EDCTP Executive Director
The first EDCTP programme
By the end of 2014, the programme had released 65 calls for proposals and awarded 254 grants involving researchers from 30 African and 16 European countries. Many of the clinical trials have contributed towards international policy as well as treatment and prevention guidelines.
