Masters program In Malaria Modelling

Overview of the MaModAfrica Master’s Program

Our master’s program not only equips students with advanced skills in applied infectious disease modeling but also fosters a collaborative, transnational approach, ensuring that graduates contribute effectively to the global fight against malaria with the following key objectives:

Objective 1: Increase Academic Training in Malaria Modeling

Strengthen Masters programs through applied mathematical modeling curricula, training of 30 Masters students, project supervision embedded within National Malaria Control Programs (NMCP), fostering a mutually beneficial relationship in tackling malaria in partner countries over three years.

Objective 2: Bridging the Gap Between Academic Modeling and Operational Needs

Deliver targeted training on principles of mathematical modeling, geo-spatial modeling, and malaria epidemiology, conduct audience-specific skill development workshops for students, academic researchers, and National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) staff, fostering collaboration to enhance evidence based problem solving.

Objective 3 Create Collaborative Transnational Ecosystem

Leverage the experience of partner organizations to establish a network of African disease modelers, promoting expertise sharing, including fostering academic exchange through online platforms, like webinars, conferences, workshops, and teleconference seminars, in addition to facilitating regular interactions between National Malaria Control Program(NMCP) and academic researchers, creating a community of practice to share knowledge.
