R-Evolution Worldwide in Africa for United Nations Sustainable Development Goal n. 3 “Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”.

R-Evolution aims to contribute to African public health advances through strategic research activities. The vision is to increase the involvement of the Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries in ethically and scientifically sound biomedical research and clinical trials addressing specifically SSA public health challenges.

R-Evolution Worldwide supports also research projects:

– to develop new interventional treatments, medicines, vaccines, diagnostics

– to improve the access to existing healthcare tools

– to strengthening research ethics and regulatory capacities.

Currently, R-Evolution Worldwide is involved in the following projects consortia, all scientifically coordinated by African researchers:
