The Malaria Capacity Development Consortium (MCDC), established in June 2008 with support from the Wellcome Trust, is designed to help able and motivated African scientists undertake high-quality research that will enhance the research capacity of their home institutions.
The programme will undertake capacity development in African universities that will not only lead to improvements in the malaria control measures available in Africa, but also stimulate research into the development of new ways to control the disease.
This site will complement the activities of the MCDC, and will include useful resources for the students and researchers supported by the consortium.
