 My name is Edwin Barasa. I am the Interim Executive Director of the Kenbury Welcome Trust Research Program and in addition to that I lead the health economics work within the program. So the Kenbury Welcome Trust Research Program is a partnership between three partners. This is Oxford, the University of Oxford, the Welcome Trust in the UK and the Kenya Medical Research Institute, which is a state corporation in Kenya with a mandate to carry out health research. We are physically located in East Africa with offices in Nairobi and Kilifi in Kenya and in Bali in Uganda. Our mission is to carry out high quality research in human health that is also purposeful and relevant and to develop research capacity within the African continent. So the Kenbury Welcome Trust Research Program focuses on key five thematic areas of research. This is vaccines, pathogen, biology, population health, clinical research and health systems and policy research. The way we approach our research work is to use a truly multidisciplinary approach and we also invested in engagement at both the policy level and the community level to ensure that the research that we do is relevant and responsive to the needs of the community and the needs of policy makers. There are several examples of pieces of work that we've done that have been quite impactful in contributing to the development of global health. Examples that I can think about at the moment include the work that we did during the COVID-19 pandemic that informed the Kenyan government's response to the pandemic and also supported other countries to do the same. Our research has also contributed to research on the two new malaria vaccines which are going to be quite important tools in the containment of malaria in our part of the world. We've also done work that has informed the development and updating of clinical guidelines that are used to manage sick children in hospitals. Our vision for the future is to continue to conduct relevant research that is responsive to emerging global health priorities. We are going to continue to do the work that we do because it remains relevant but we are also going to get into areas that are emerging such as climate change and health.
