Global Health EDCTP3 – Danish participation

Global Health EDCTP3 is a partnership between the European Commission, representing the European Union, and the EDCTP Association, representing the governments of 15 European and 30 sub-Saharan African countries.

Global Health EDCTP3 works to deliver new solutions to reduce the burden of infectious diseases in sub-Saharan Africa and to strengthen research capacities to prepare and respond to re-emerging infectious diseases.

Global Health EDCTP3 focuses on the major infectious disease threats facing sub-Saharan Africa, including HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, lower respiratory tract infections, diarrhoeal diseases, neglected, emerging and re-emerging infections. Our scope also includes overarching areas such as antimicrobial resistance, climate-crisis-provoked changes in infectious disease incidence, digital health solutions, and co-infections and co-morbidities.

Global Health EDCTP3 is a ten-year programme running from 2021 to 2031. The partnership aims for a €2 billion budget, having already secured €1.86 billion in pledges.
