Evaluating contributions to the European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership

UCL's Department of Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy (STEaPP) produced an independent evaluation of the Swedish International Development Agency's support to a major aid programme.

Synopsis

---

The European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) is a public-public partnership between countries in Europe and sub-Saharan Africa, supported by the European Union. The partnership spans institutions mandated by the governments of 14 European and 18 African countries. The Partnership aims is to reduce the individual, social and economic burden of poverty-related infectious diseases in sub-Saharan Africa, by supporting collaborative research to develop accessible, suitable and affordable medical interventions.

As of 31 December 2018, the Swedish International Development Agency contributed over 10 million Euro to support projects within the scope of the EDCTP2 Programme. Researchers from UCL STEaPP were asked to evaluate the Agency's contributions in a comprehensive report. 

The report outlines the findings of the ‘independent evaluation of Sida’s support to projects in the scope of the EDCTP2 programme’ and was compiled by the evaluation team: Rebecca Hanlin, Anja van’t Hoog, Mariana Kruger, Julius Mugwagwa and Joanna Chataway. You can find the full report in the external link below.
