Grants and Contributions

This project aims to undertake research to develop a rapid peptide based diagnostic assay that will allow surveillance and detection of animals positive for African Swine fever viral specific antibodies.

This project aims to identify African Swine Fever Virus antigens so that a vaccine can be produced that will induce protective immune responses in pigs.​

Project activities include: (1) helping countries and regions to detect, report and share information on disease outbreaks; (2) building resilient health systems that can withstand health emergencies, including trained healthcare workers, safe health facilities, and tools and materials needed to adequately deliver health services; (3) building trust and improving communication within communities; and (4) improving equitable access to vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics and essential supplies.

CEPI’s mission is to accelerate the development of vaccines and other biologic countermeasures against epidemic and pandemic threats so they can be accessible to all people in need.

Motifs are active structural sites tasked with beneficial biological functions that can be employed to create new vaccines and enzymes. When designing proteins, a crucial endeavor is the creation of stable scaffolds to support motifs, thus allowing them to maintain their shapes and, consequently, their function.

Project activities include: (1) increasing the capacity of One Health actors to improve local cross-sectoral coordination, referral and reporting of zoonoses; (2) increasing access to needed resources for zoonoses control, including vaccines, testing supplies and treatments; (3) strategic recruitment of women to fill gaps in human and health personnel; (4) development of climate-resilient water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructure for prevention and control of zoonoses; (5) strengthening the capacity of communities, especially women and girls, to prevent and respond to zoonoses; and (6) undertaking research to strengthen the evidence base for, and integration of, effective gender-responsive One-Health approaches in marginalized communities.

This project seeks to improve nutrition for the poorest and most marginalized, especially women, adolescent girls, and children in Bahi and Itigi Districts in Tanzania and Moroto, Nakapiripirit and Nabilatuk districts in Uganda. Project activities include: (1) training Community Health Workers on maternal, infant, young child and adolescent nutrition and health practices; (2) training district and ward extension officers on nutrition-sensitive agriculture and small animal husbandry; (3) training and grants for women’s care groups for income-generating activities and skills development; (4) upgrading water, sanitation and hygiene facilities at selected schools related to handwashing and menstrual health management; and (5) training health care providers on integrated management of severe acute malnutrition.

The project aims to reach 214,764 direct beneficiaries (124,562 women and 90,202 man) and 92,105 indirect beneficiaries (34,500 women and 57,605 man in Tanzania and Uganda. Action Against Hunger together with local partners, implements this project that includes Sustainable Environmental Management Action in Tanzania and Karamoja Women’s Umbrella Organization in Uganda.

Designing molecules with desired properties in drug, vaccine, and materials
discovery is a challenge. Accurately identifying lead candidate molecules
early on can significantly reduce the time and cost involved.

This project targets women of reproductive age, particularly pregnant women, their infants, and adolescent girls in the hinterland regions of Guyana.

With Global Affairs Canada’s support, in humanitarian emergencies, UNICEF is providing life-saving health and nutrition interventions for children, pregnant and lactating women to support the treatment, growth and development of healthy children.
