Infectious Diseases Summit 2010
Return on Investment: Building Healthcare Capacity in Africa
Accordia Global Health Foundation, in partnership with the Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI) of Makerere University and the Fogarty International Center at the US National Institutes of Health, hosted Accordia’s Third Annual Infectious Diseases Summit on April 15-16 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The Infectious Diseases Summit series is an invitation-only event designed to bring together key leaders and experts from the private sector, government, NGOs, foundations, and academia in a two-day, high-level strategic meeting to address issues related to long-term healthcare capacity building in Africa.
The theme of the 2010 Summit was Return on Investment: Building Healthcare Capacity in Africa and focused on generating new ways to frame how we define impact and translate the global call to action as it relates to long-term capacity building programs by sharing best practices and providing a dynamic forum for innovative thinking.
The 2010 Summit Program and the Performance Audit Handbook: Routes to effective evaluation are available for download. The majority of presentations are available upon request for summit participants.
At a release event in Washington D.C. in July 2010, Accordia released Return on Investment: The Long-Term Impact of Building Healthcare Capacity in Africa, which was informed by the 2010 Summit. Click here to download the report and watch footage of the release event.
