University of Health and Allied Sciences, from September 27 to October 1, hosted a scientific writing workshop organised by the Malaria Research Capacity Development Consortium (MARCAD) for 15 fellows at the Volta Serene Resort in Ho. UHAS is a member of the consortium, which comprises five African and three European partners.

In his welcome presentation to participants, Professor Oumar Gaye, Director of MARCAD, hinted that due to the successful implementation of the MARCAD 1 programme, the consortium has been selected by its funding partners to continue with the second phase of the programme, known as MARCAD-Plus. He said, the accomplishments of MARCAD fellows and the consortium’s implementation of innovative strategies that have chalked many successful stories in different countries, were the key reasons for the extension. He added that the “indicators are very excellent, hence the approval of MARCAD-Plus, which will now include the area of Neglected Tropical Disease (NTDs).” He also said the second phase will give opportunities to prospective scholars from Sierra Leone and Gambia.

Recounting the achievements of MARCAD, Professor Gaye said, the programme, during its first phase, equipped the fellows with additional qualifications that will make them future leaders in malaria research and policy implementation in various ministries of health and other stakeholder institutions across West Africa.

The Director expressed his appreciation to the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Centre of Parasitology, Denmark and all partners for their continuous support. He also used the occasion to congratulate Professor Harry Tagbor on his appointment as Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University of Health and Allied Sciences.

There was also a workshop for all finance managers from the partner universities. Professor Harry Tagbor, MARCAD’s Principal Investigator, indicated that the Financial Management Training Workshop “seeks to equip fund managers on the latest financial requirements and reporting skills” in order to ensure prudent financial management of funds for the implementation of MARCAD programmes.

As part of the week-long programme, participants will visit Mount Gemi at Amedzofe and other selected places of interest near Ho.

MARCAD is one of the 11 Delta Africa programmes established to strengthen the quality of malaria research through the building of capacities of young African researchers. Postdoctoral Fellow, Dr. Matilda Aberese-Ako (who is a medical and organisational anthropologist with the Institute of Health Research) and PhD. Fellow, Ms. Virtue Fiawokome De-Gaulle of the School of Medicine, are MARCAD beneficiaries from University of Health and Allied Sciences.
