Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues
With support from the WHO’s Special Program for Tropical Diseases Research (TDR), two universities (the African Public Health Institute from Burkina Faso and University Gamal Abdel Nasser of Conakry, Guinea) have led the implementation of two operational research initiatives on Neglected Tropical Diseases in West Africa. These courses were run in 2022/2023 using the WHO SORT-IT (Structured Operational Research Training Initiative) approach. During these courses, 14 participants from Guinea, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Mali, and Niger were mentored to design a study, develop their research protocol, collect and analyze their data, and write scientific manuscripts.
This Special Issue aims to collect this project’s manuscripts. All papers will be peer-reviewed by scholars in the field and judged by academic editors.
