AMANET in brief:
The African Malaria Network Trust [AMANET] started its activities
as African Malaria Vaccine Testing Network [AMVTN] in 1995 with
the primary goal of preparing Africa in planning and conducting
malaria vaccine trials. However, due to expanding goals in
malaria interventions, AMVTN was succeeded by AMANET in 2002 to
reflect a widened scope that incorporates a broad and integrated
approach in the fight against malaria.
The expanded role
include among others;
creation of global awareness of the African malaria burden,
advancement of essential human capacity for research and
development of malaria intervention in Africa, determination of
the needs and characterisation of
potential sites for testing malaria interventions in Africa and
promotion of good governance, efficient management and
networking of malaria institutions in Africa. |
