Global Evidence, Local Adaptation (GELA)

The Global Evidence, Local Adaptation (GELA) project is funded by the European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP).

GELA aims to enhance evidence-informed guideline recommendations for newborn and young child health in three countries in sub-Saharan Africa.

GELA aims to maximise the impact of evidence for poverty-related diseases by increasing the capacity of decision makers and researchers to use global research to develop locally relevant guidelines for newborn and child health. The project will support decision makers in South Africa, Malawi and Nigeria, and will build on and add value to the large-scale programme of child-health guideline development led by the World Health Organization (WHO), with adaptation and implementation led by the WHO Afro regional office, country offices and national ministries.

This project is part of the EDCTP2 programme supported by the European Union (grant number RIA2020S-3303-GELA)
