Research network wins approximately £5.7 million to target human and animal diseases in Africa
Date:7/1/2009

of national preparedness for disease outbreaks across the human and animal health sectors from the Rockefeller Foundation, on which LIDC will also assist. The SACIDS secretariat is funded with money from Google.org.

LIDC's partnership with SACIDS is part of its larger effort to break down barriers between agriculture and health research to encourage an integrated approach to complex international development problems. LIDC helps to develop critical interdisciplinary cooperation for international development by developing research and training programmes between the University of London's six Bloomsbury Colleges (Birkbeck, Institute of Education, LSHTM, RVC, School of Oriental and African Studies, and The School of Pharmacy) and developing country institutions.

LIDC has a growing portfolio of inter-College and interdisciplinary working groups investigating topics including: emerging and zoonotic diseases, linkages between agriculture and health, access to medicines in developing countries, and Distance Learning for Development (DL4D).
