| | | Ugandan Academic Alliance
| | The Ugandan Academic Alliance began in 2000 with a partnership among leading academic physician-researchers from Uganda and North America, then incorporated in 2003. These physician-researchers were committed to pursuing a more collaborative, African-based and African-led approach to overcome the devastation of HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. In 2004, Accordia, in partnership with Pfizer Inc., the Academic Alliance, and Makerere University, established the Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI) at Makerere University as the preeminent center in sub-Saharan Africa for infectious disease training, treatment, and research. In just a decade, IDI has become a world-renowned center of excellence that is improving the quality of care available throughout the region.
