Strengthen Regional Networks 
After completing the establishment of regional networks based on the three research 
institutes, it is desirable to promote the dispatch of third country experts and south-south 
cooperation.  From now on, 
the
 
mainstream of cooperation in the field of health is 
expected to be support for ART and participatory approaches to regional public health.   
Examination should be made of how to promote cooperation effectively by utilizing the 
personnel who have research experience in the three research institutes. 
 
JICA has been implementing long term cooperation in terms of technical transfer and 
facility development since the establishment of the research institutes.  It has been 
verified by the evaluation survey that as a result of JICA cooperation, each institute is 
acknowledged internationally as a centre for research in the health and medical field and 
has sufficient research capabilities.  From now on, JICA is expected to examine the 
orientation of cooperation with these research institutes to ensure effective contributions 
to infectious diseases control in the Africa region through proactive engagement with 
these research institutes.
