Africa remains burdened by the high mortality related to poverty-related diseases such as HIV, Tuberculosis, Malaria, and other Neglected Tropical Diseases. Recognising these challenges and the need to proffer sustainable solutions for the sub-region, the West African Network for Tuberculosis, AIDS, and Malaria (WANETAM) was established in July 2009. WANETAM is one of the Networks of Excellence supported by the European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP). The network has grown since inception to a membership of 25 institutions from 12 West African countries and 5 institutions from 4 European countries.
The main goal of WANETAM is to build regional, national, institutional, and individual capacities to conduct research including clinical trials. WANETAM conducts its strategic goals under the following work packages (WP); WP1- Tuberculosis; WP2- Malaria; WP3- HIV; WP4- NTD/EBOLA; WP5- Cross cutting trainings and Project management.
