The Malaria Capacity Development Consortium (MCDC) is supported by the Wellcome Trust and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and is designed to help able and motivated African scientists undertake high-quality research that will enhance the research capacity of their home institutions.

The programme will undertake capacity development in African universities that will not only lead to improvements in the malaria control measures available in Africa, but also stimulate research into the development of new ways to control the disease.

This site will complement the activities of the MCDC, and will include useful resources for the students and researchers supported by the consortium.
