DONORS

Now a multi-institutional collaboration between specialized genomics centres (CERI, ACEGID, ILRI) in Africa, this capacity building and fellowship program encompasses hundreds of researchers, physician-scientists, clinicians, and public health experts representing leading academic, hospital, biopharma, and public-health institutions based in Africa. Funding for Genomics Africa Fellowship is also growing, and we recognize and thank those donors here for their critical support. 

At this time, when the need for urgent and sustained action is critical in Africa, we are grateful to the many individuals, foundations, organizations, and companies that have generously committed resources toward accelerating our data generation and capacity-building program. Thank you to all those listed below who have given generously to support this fellowship and capacity-building program.

Founding Donor of the Fellowship Program

  • The Rockefeller Foundation
  • The World Bank
  • Abbott Pandemic Defense Coalition
  • Africa Centre for Diseases Control and Prevention (Africa CDC)
  • World Health Organization (WHO) Africa Region (AFRO)

The fellowship program provided grant funding to Stellenbosch University to support genomic capacity building in sub-Saharan Africa.

Further donation and funding will allow more Fellows to be trained in Africa, to prepare and respond to the pandemic and to train the next generation of scientists. Please let us know if you want to support this program. Individual donations are managed by the Stellenbosch University and donations and gifts are tax-deductible. For more information on how to support the Fellowship program, please contact us at ceri@sun.ac.za.

This program is part of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention Pathogen Genomics Initiative (Africa CDC PGI) and the Network for Genomic Surveillance in South Africa (NGS-SA)
