This initiative seeks to strengthen the capacities of science granting councils in East Africa and other selected sub-Saharan African countries.

Little is known about the behavioural and environmental risk factors of COVID-19 because of a lack of high-quality epidemiological data.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic due to the emergence of a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV2) which causes COVID-19, a potentially lethal respiratory infection.

Although critically important for determining optimal strategies to reduce transmission and limit the impact of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), factors such as the frequency of household transmission, the proportion of asymptomatic infection, and the natural history of the infection are poorly understood.

The rapid global emergence and spread of COVID-19 is having extensive effects on the health of populations and health systems worldwide and is threatening fragile health systems in many resource-poor countries.

Cardiovascular disease is among the leading causes of death associated with COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic is causing a high burden of disease in Peru and other Latin American countries and affecting the capacity of health services to provide appropriate care to neglected diseases that persist outside the global spotlight.

Marginalized populations around the world bear a disproportionate burden of COVID-19 morbidity and mortality.

The unfolding COVID-19 pandemic highlights the critical need for a diverse diagnostics strategy.

This project will respond to the need for COVID-19 prevention among urban refugee youth who experience poverty, overcrowded living conditions, and poor sanitation that increase COVID-19 risks while limiting their ability to practice mitigation strategies such as frequent hand washing and physical distancing.

Through four case studies in Lebanon, Jordan, Kenya, and Ethiopia, the project will demonstrate the value of local knowledge ecosystems in promoting a more nuanced and localized understanding of how refugees, host communities, states, and development actors in the Global South can deal more effectively with the challenge of forced displacement.

The COVID-19 pandemic, like climate change and other major threats, is pervasive worldwide.

The COVID-19 pandemic presents a significant challenge that requires a global response informed by evidence.
