About MCDC
Within the Malaria Capacity Development Consortium (MCDC) we strive to improve malaria research capacity in Africa.
Who we are
We are a consortium of nine partners - four European and five African, all of which have extensive experience in malaria research. MCDC builds on a substantial and successful training and capacity building programme supported by the Gates Malaria Partnership (GMP) that was funded by a major award to the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

What we do
To fulfil our aims of improving malaria research capacity in Africa, we have initiated a new PhD programme for African scientists undertaking research in their own countries. We also offer continuing support for the postdoctoral fellows trained under the Gates Malaria Partnership (GMP) through our Investigator programme.
