Fifth AMANET Biennial Conference
The African Malaria Network Trust (AMANET) in March 2002 became the legal successor to the African Malaria Vaccine Testing Network (AMVTN). The mission of AMANET is to strengthen the capacity and expertise of African malaria R&D institutions in intervention trials and networking in order to facilitate the development of cost-effective malaria intervention tools. In accordance with its constitution AMANET holds biennial conferences. Presentations and discussions at the 3rd and the 4th Conferences, which addressed theme ‘Malaria Vaccines in the Pipeline for Africa’, and “ Experiences of Organizing Malaria Intervention Trials”; respectively, highlighted not only the problems, corrective actions needed, results obtained so far and the way forward with regard to intervention trials. The two conferences also underscored the need for further capacity strengthening.
The Fifth AMANET Biennial Conference will bring together scientists, researchers and other experts in the malaria field from different areas in Africa and elsewhere to present new research results, findings and perspectives on recent and future developments in malaria R&D, intervention and control, capacity building and funding.
