AFIDEP is implementing the International Multidisciplinary Programme to Address Lung Health and TB in Africa (IMPALA) in Ethiopia.

The country is also part of  the The Evidence Leaders in Africa (ELA) project that AFIDEP is implementing in collaboration with the African Academy for Sciences (AAS).

ELA project will empower AAS’ scholars to proactively engage governments to use science and innovation and champion institutionalisation of evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM) in East and West Africa.

The project will work to increase the number of academic leaders championing EIDM in Africa; increase the number of government agencies in East and West Africa taking specific actions to institutionalise evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM) and; expand evidence and space for EIDM learning in Africa.

  • Watch interview series of scholars and researchers expressing  the value of ELA activities to their work
  • IMPALA programme aims to generate scientific knowledge and implementable solutions for issues related to lung health in Africa. The programme, spanning 10 African countries, builds upon a critical mass of internationally excellent clinical and applied health scientists who are experts in lung health and strengthens the capacity of emerging interdisciplinary lung health researchers from Africa.
