Building on ongoing collaborations, several units of the Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM) will collaborate with one Beninese partner institution, aiming to increase local capacity for research, and application of its results to improved health management. The project will support direct research activities to increase staff capacities, and the application of results into national- and regional healthcare practice. The promotor, Prof Dr Dissou Affolabi, is based at the Laboratoire de Référence des Mycobactéries (LRM). Besides mycobacterial diagnostic services, training of researchers, and upgrade of LRM to a supra-national reference laboratory, the programme will reinforce Prof Affolabi’s work on antibiotic resistance at the Centre National Hospitalier Universitaire (CNHU). Expected laboratory results focus on improved quality, including formal accreditation of LRM and supervision of laboratories in other countries. In addition, the creation of a grant administration office will strengthen the general management of the laboratory research activities, including the quality of the accounting.

PROG17-21_03OC1_To strengthen the research capacity related to health in the resource limited setting of Burkina Faso
The new 5-year program builds on the ongoing collaboration between the Clinical Research Unit of Nanoro (CRUN) and the Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM). It aims specifically to strengthen the research capacity in the resource limited setting of Nanoro. The program will expand and strengthen CRUN laboratory capacities towards biomedical and molecular studies, including parasite and bacterial genotyping and biomarker studies. Given the changing epidemiological context CRUN intends to extend its portfolio to diagnostics and epidemiology of invasive bacterial diseases and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) in a health context. The collaboration with hospitals and public health institutes will be strengthened to build capacity for management of bacterial diseases and conduct interventions in the fields of antibiotic stewardship, infection control, clinical trials behavioral studies. In order to evaluate disease burdens and incidence for directing public health interventions, the Health and Demographic Surveillance System will be exploited to monitor the impact of malaria control measures, to address the etiological spectrum of non-malaria febrile illnesses and to study the socio-cultural factors of human health behavior. Interventions can only be successful and sustainable when the human capital is strengthened. Therefore the program will focus on exchange between CRUN, Centre Muraz and ITM staff, provide trainings and support doctoral and master of science candidates, taking into account the gender balance.

PROG17-21_04OC1_To enhance the research capacity and evidence based medical practice in tropical and poverty related diseases in Ethiopia
The start-up Framework Agreement 3-III (FA3-III) project (2014-2016) with Gondar College of Medical and Health Sciences (GCMHS), at the University of Gondar (UoG) was geared towards capacity building on clinical research and training. There was a strong focus on clinical medicine and laboratory quality, with visceral leishmaniasis – a fatal parasitic neglected disease – as main focus. Building on the needs jointly identified during FA3-III, in the present proposal, we aim to consolidate the visceral leishmaniasis research, broaden research activities towards other neglected tropical diseases/poverty related diseases including cutaneous leishmaniasis and tuberculosis, consolidate lab quality (Good Clinical and Laboratory Practice, GCLP) and capacity for sample storage (biobanking), establish the required laboratory (molecular, immunology) platforms to support the clinical and laboratory research activities on the various topics, and introduce a strong component of antibiotic stewardship and surveillance of antibiotic resistance, backed up by a quality microbiology laboratory. All these activities will be complemented with linked training activities, in particular on research methodology, good clinical practice, clinical decision making and evidence-based medicine. In depth training in laboratory skills and laboratory quality will be organized as well. From a small project (FA3-III) involving a small number of clinical units, the project (Framework Agreement 4, FA4) has matured towards a comprehensive project covering biomedical, clinical and public health sciences and involving a high number of units at the Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM) and their UoG counterparts. Our ambition is that FA4 will lead to strong, independent Ethiopian researchers and trainers, contributing to enhancing the evidence base of health related interventions, and serving as an inspiration for their students and (younger) colleagues.

PROG17-21_05OC1_Strengthening the capacity for research, teaching, policy advice, advocacy and networking of the partners in the field on human and animal health
Research and education to improve animal and human health and welfare in Southern Africa Drawing on their position as South African Higher Education Institutions with capacity to support the African Region more generally, the Department of Veterinary Tropical Diseases (UP) and the School of Public Health (UWC) will partner with the Institute of Tropical Medicine to strengthen the capacity to respond to key human and veterinary health challenges in the Region. This will done by: 1) Building an evidence base through collaborative research on zoonotic and animal diseases (DVTD) and health policy and systems (SOPH), that takes into account the specific ecological and socio-economic context, in South Africa and the Region; 2) Collaborating in post graduate research training (masters, doctoral and post doctoral) on these themes to candidates from South Africa and the Region; 3) Enhancing south-south and north-south dialogue and networks of teaching and research collaboration; 4) Engaging with local communities, practitioners and policy makers to address human and veterinary health challenges in South Africa and the Region. For the ITM, Higher Education Institutions and their staff and students are the main beneficiaries. These are reached through capacity development activities for researchers and research centres, co-production of research and of educational programmes, and networking.

Strengthening the capacity for research, teaching, policy advice, advocacy and networking of the partners in the field on human and animal health
Percentage of postgraduate students, animal health technicians, state veterinarians, scientists and academics trained by DVTD (UP) in the field of zoonotic and infectious diseases.
Of all the individuals trained, X% was in the field of zoonotic and infectious diseases
63 MSc (TAH) students, 9 research MSc, 2 PhD and 7 postdocs were recruited and registered. A total of 61 individuals were trained by short courses and training programmes; these (100%) were trained in the field of zoonotic and infectious diseases.
For 2017-2021, a total of 109 MSc (TAH) students (of whom 50 were female; 46%), 12 research MSc (11 females; 92%), 4 PhD (3 females; 75%) and 8 postdocs (4 females; 50%) were recruited and registered. A total of 120 individuals from 19 countries were trained by short courses and training programmes.
Percentage of research projects implemented by DVTD (UP) in the field of zoonotic and infectious diseases
X% of projects implemented are focused on zoonotic and/or infectious diseases
All 12 research projects (100% of which areall within the field of zoonotic and infectious diseases) are ongoing
For 2017-2021, 12 research projects (100% of which are within the field of zoonotic and infectious diseases) were conducted (some still ongoing). Apart from the 12 appointed (funded) research MSc and 4 PhD students who were involved in the projects, a further 6 MSc (4 females; 67%) and 24 PhD (13 females; 54%) students were associated with these projects (publishing 23 papers).
Health Policy Supportive Research incorporated into public health policies and practice
5 - The students supported by the grants all work very closely with policy makers and managers to influence policy and practice. They include, for example: Ministry of Health (eSwatini) (rational drug use); in South Africa, Western Cape Provincial Department of Health (DOH) (emergency medical services and inter-sectoral collaboration); Gert Sibande District, Mpumalanga (on accountability for maternal, neonatal and child health); National DOH (scaling up district health system strengthening for MNCH).
4 direct contributions to policy/practice, of which 2 directly led to new policies/practices
Team members from South Africa and Belgium were part of a cross-continental writing team that authored a commentary in Health Policy and Planning entitled: What role can health policy and systems research play in supporting responses to COVID-19 that strengthen socially just health systems? https://doi.org/10.1093/heapol/czaa112 (no direct policy impact, but contribution to reflection).
Research into district governance of maternal and child health outcomes (with linked supported PhD, e.g. https://doi.org/10.1080/23288604.2019.1669943) has fed into the design of strategies of the follow-up Mphatlalatsane project, a multi-partner and comprehensive maternal and newborn care strengthening initiative in three provinces in South Africa https://www.samrc.ac.za/sites/default/files/attachments/2020-06-11/Mphatlalatsane%20Newsletter_Issue%201_Dec19.pdf
A PhD supported student completed a case study (technical report) of the Western Cape's Whole of Society Approach which was presented at a report back workshop to district and provincial health staff in late October 2020. The analytic frameworks provided the templates for subsequent reflective processes in the Province on collaborative efforts in response to COVID-19. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/348518229_The_First_Thousand_Days_within_the_Western_Cape_Whole_of_Society_Approach_Lessons_for_the_collaborative_governance_of_intersectoral_action_for_health. This led to a new phase of collaboration (involving a postdoctoral candidate) with the Western Cape Provincial government to support the development of governance frameworks for intersectoral collaboration in the Whole of Society Approach.
The UWC project leader also contributed to a special issue of the WHO Bulletin on primary health care (http://dx.doi.org/10.2471/BLT.20.252742). In November 2020 she was invited as a discussant on a panel discussing research into Primary Health Care convened by the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research; and as a moderator of a panel discussion on governance at the launch of WHO's Operational Framework on PHC in December 2020.
HPSR field is developed with regional communities of practice
The indicator is measured by ● the increase in new partnerships developed ● the increase in the number of PhD students enrolled in the HPSR cluster and participating in the PhD cluster convenings/CHESAI meetings
Local and regional networks maintained and developed
Network connections: 75%
1 network maintained

PROG17-21_07OC1_To strengthen the Institute of Tropical Medicine Alexander von Humboldt (IMTAvH)'s Research and Development (R&D) capacities to deliver strategies and/or tools for diagnosis, surveillance and control of infectious diseases
The Institute of Tropical Medicine Alexander von Humboldt has a longstanding relationship with the Institute of Tropical Medicine of Antwerp in the frame of fundamental and translational research for improving health. We have developed over the years a strong partnership in the area of infectious diseases that pose significant public health concerns in Peru and the Latin American region (and globally as well): leishmaniasis, malaria, tuberculosis (TB), human T-lymphotropic virus-1 (HTLV-1) associated diseases, and bacterial diseases. Current proposal builds further on the acquired knowledge and experience, and includes an additional component on arboviral infections. Through scientific collaboration, we believe we can have a positive effect on treatment and prevention of the mentioned conditions, by acting at various levels. While the leishmaniasis, HTLV-1, and arbovirus components focus on development of field-applicable diagnostic assays, malaria is developing a point-of-care (POC) diagnostic tool for vulnerable populations and molecular tools for surveillance (in view of malaria elimination), and TB research is directed on surveillance and prevention. Further, we can positively impact treatment of bacterial diseases by monitoring of resistance against antimicrobial agents. In all these domains, we will work in settings relevant for the patients or populations at risk. Further, we will strengthen local human capacity in the institute by supporting doctoral and postdoctoral researchers.

PROG17-21_08OC1_To strengthen the Institute of Tropical Medicine Pedro Kourí (IPK) and the National Institute of Hygiene, Epidemiology and Microbiology (INHEM) towards accomplishment of their academic mission through capacity strengthening and scientific co-operation
This programme aims to contribute to achieving better population health outcomes and promoting sustainable human development by building capacities through collaborative research and action in the field of public health and by putting the Cuban expertise to value at international level through supporting academic networking. The institutional research capacity of the Institute of Tropical Medicine Pedro Kourí (IPK) and the National Institute of Hygiene, Epidemiology and Microbiology (INHEM) will be strengthened through investment in equipment, transfer of technology, development of human resources and facilitation of staff mobility. Research capacity will be built in the domains of disease control (arbovirosis, tuberculosis, parasite infections and sexually transmitted infections) and health care organisation (focussing on improving health service organization to deal with chronic diseases), mobilising public health, biomedical and clinical science capacities. Incorporation of regional partners in selected joint research activities will form part of the programme, as well as a tri-lateral collaboration between Cuba, Belgium and DR Congo, initially focussing on arbovirosis control. This will boost the international impact of our joint research and create the opportunity for translation of our scientific results in wider, sustainable health policies.

PROG17-21_10OC1_Capacity strengthening and enhanced tools for evidence-based health research and control/ elimination strategies of parasitic diseases in Vietnam
To strengthen the control and/or elimination strategies for parasitic diseases in Vietnam, which are a major contributor to mortality and morbidity, the research capacity in Vietnam will be strengthened and laboratory tools for detection and surveillance of parasitic diseases will be enhanced. The research capacity of the National Institute of Malariology, Parasitology and Entomology (NIMPE) will be strengthened by improving the research infrastructure, in particular of quality assurance and library systems, as well as train Vietnamese scientist in multi-disciplinary approaches to support the malaria control and elimination program. An increase in health research capacity is required in order to expand the limited knowledge of the factors contributing to the epidemiology of these diseases in Vietnam. Diagnostic and surveillance tools will be developed and transferred to the laboratories of NIMPE for the detection of Food and Waterborne Parasitic Diseases (FWBPD) and malaria. In addition, a national program for control of cysticercosis, a disease caused by the cysts of the pork tapeworm, will be developed and validated within this program. The improved detection and surveillance of parasitic diseases will aid in the development of strategies leading to improved health of people in Vietnam, especially the most vulnerable groups.

PROG17-21_11OC1_Academic capacity for health is strengthened through improved quality in education and access to postgraduate education and training
The Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM) is an autonomous academic institute specialised in scientific research, postgraduate education and expert service delivery in tropical medicine and public health in developing countries. Its expertise is central to 8 of the 17 Strategic Development Goals and related to 7 others. In its Belgian programme, ITM pursues its over-all goal of improving health in developing countries through (1) academic capacity strengthening of individuals and institutes; (2) policy support and networking; (3) de-velopment education and advocacy. Academic strengthening includes scholarships for training at ITM and the constitution of an Academic Alliance with institutional partners from the South. This Alliance will be built up gradually as a platform for joint activities including student and staff exchange, global fellowships, quality assurance, curriculum development and digital learning forms. Policy support to the Directorate General Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid (DGD) and other Belgian and global actors will offer specific expertise in DGD's designated priority fields, and will also be fed by networks of actors at national (Be-cause Health) and international (International Health Policy) level. Development education and advocacy will focus on global health awareness in general, political and professional constituencies; the effectiveness of north-south partnerships; and international meetings in which scientists and experts from the South can raise their voice.

Alliance projects will constitute an important part of the Specific Outcome 1 of the ITM Belgian Programme. Part of the budget will be related to Alliance projects with/at partner institutions in the South and will be spent in the South: e.g. support of Master and Short courses in the South (maximum 200.000€/year) and collaborative projects (maximum 150.000€/year). However in the months to come as dialogue on Alliance activities will start, the precise nature will be defined: which activities, which south partners involved, which budget… For the time being that part of the budget will be labelled “Partners”, without mentioning concrete names. Based on planning exercises and dialogue with Alliance partners this will be defined in the first half of 2017.

Graduation rate at ITM among bursaries (in credit bearing short courses and masters)
For 2021 (academic year 2020-21) the graduation rate is 90% (145/162 MA and SC bursaries). 6 Master bursaries are part-time students and are expected to graduate in 2021-2022. This will bring the graduation rate to 93%.
Career development of alumni (after 3-4 yrs)
Employability in research and/or policy positions (2015)
Maintained or improved
Maintained: The employability of alumni was not studied in 2019 as initially foreseen (periodic alumni surveys) as this would become the focus of the upcoming mid-term evaluation. There is no reason to assume the level has dropped.
Maintained or improved as compared to year 3
The findings (final report dated July 2021) of the evaluation “Social, Developmental and Professional Impact Evaluation of ITM Educational Activities and Scholarship Programme” confirm the career development of alumni after 3-4 years. The data show that the competencies alumni gained at ITM have helped them to add value to their professional profile and in their career trajectory. A majority of alumni previously worked at operational levels (59%) and at middle management level (26%), a minority worked in senior management position (11%) and in strategic positions (4%; n=425). After graduating from ITM, the number of alumni in the strategic positions (12%) and in senior management positions increased (17%; n=385). When looking at the data over time, the results show that this effect becomes stronger. There is little improvement in the career trajectory one year after graduation, but approximately 50% of the graduates’ trajectories improve after that. Those that graduated a longer time ago had more opportunities to develop their career. This is of course a logical evolution in a persons’ career path, but qualitative interviews with graduates have confirmed that their academic qualification was crucial for their promotion to higher positions. Their professional profiles had become increasingly specialised after studying at ITM, for instance in tropical diseases, management of public health programmes, epidemiology, amongst others and had allowed them to become focal points on specific topics and assume greater responsibility, including to develop clinical protocols and take part in expert committees. Employers also recognize the added advantage of ITM alumni to their organizations.

PROG17-21_11OC3_The general public is better informed on tropical medicine and international health topics
The Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM) is an autonomous academic institute specialised in scientific research, postgraduate education and expert service delivery in tropical medicine and public health in developing countries. Its expertise is central to 8 of the 17 Strategic Development Goals and related to 7 others. In its Belgian programme, ITM pursues its over-all goal of improving health in developing countries through (1) academic capacity strengthening of individuals and institutes; (2) policy support and networking; (3) de-velopment education and advocacy. Academic strengthening includes scholarships for training at ITM and the constitution of an Academic Alliance with institutional partners from the South. This Alliance will be built up gradually as a platform for joint activities including student and staff exchange, global fellowships, quality assurance, curriculum development and digital learning forms. Policy support to the Directorate General Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid (DGD) and other Belgian and global actors will offer specific expertise in DGD's designated priority fields, and will also be fed by networks of actors at national (Be-cause Health) and international (International Health Policy) level. Development education and advocacy will focus on global health awareness in general, political and professional constituencies; the effectiveness of north-south partnerships; and international meetings in which scientists and experts from the South can raise their voice.

PROG17-21_01OC2_Rationaliser la lutte contre la Trypanosomiase Humaine Africaine (THA) en renforçant les systèmes locaux de santé avec l’appui de tous les partenaires
Une action concertée du programme national avec l’appui de l’INRB (Institut National de Recherche Biomédicale), ESP (École de Santé Publique) et CRS (Centre de Recherche Sanitaire de Kimpese) visant la rationalisation du contrôle de la maladie du sommeil dans un contexte épidémiologique qui tend vers l’élimination dans 90% des foyers en 2020. L’approche se résume en trois axes stratégiques: 1.l’alignement sur la réforme du secteur santé en cours en RD Congo et donc un ancrage fort de la planification opérationnelle dans celle des Divisions Provinciales de Santé et les Equipes Cadre de District ; 2. l’adoption de nouvelles technologies, y compris les outils digitaux ;3.une ouverture sur la lutte contre les autres Maladies Tropicales Négligées.

In order to achieve interruption of transmission, the current strategy of serological screening followed by a confirmation test, will be insufficient. During FA4, the pilot studies in Kimpese confirmed feasibility and potential of implementing more complex tests at centralized level. Based on these results, a new strategy has been introduced and approved, including surveillance of old focus in difficult accessible areas
