PALOP

This call funded 5 projects to develop data science, epidemiology, and public health capacity in PALOP countries.

Challenge

The GC Brazil Program is an initiative that aims to invest in innovative research related to health and development. It is a partnership between the Ministry of Health’s Department of Science and Technology (DECIT), the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

In 2023, GC Brazil, in partnership with GC Africa, identified the need for collaboration with researchers from Portuguese speaking African Countries (PALOP) to enhance data science research. As a result of this reflection, emerged GC PALOP, an initiative developed with the support of the National Institute of Health (INS) of Mozambique.

 

Goal

This partnership is focused on encouraging the creative utilization of secondary data to help tackle maternal and child health issues. Moreover, this program aims to enhance expertise in the fields of data science, epidemiology, and public health in the PALOP region.
