Various initiatives by government, civil society, research institutions and other actors are being undertaken to respond to the rapidly increasing prevalence of NCDs in the East Africa. However, limited research has been undertaken to inform policy and other interventions.
We work with research in many areas, but always with prevention and control of NCD in East Africa as a goal.
Our partner in the East Africa NCD Alliance have made attempts at addressing this gap through an informal research relationship with East African Universities, University of Aarhus (Denmark) and academia from Yale University and University of Southern California. The Danish NCD Alliance supports the research committee of the East Africa NCD Alliance (EANCDA) in the development, conduct and publication of relevant NCD-related research projects through the research network, with support from the Danish Civil Society Fund (CISU), and led by a part-time employee at the office of the Danish NCD Alliance an increasing number of research projects are currently in progress.
Our current priorities are to identify gaps in the policy response, improve early diagnosis and treatment of NCDs and to further our understanding of the connection between climate change and NCDs in East Africa.
We welcome unsolicited proposals for research projects and requests for collaboration. Please contact:
