Stamp Out Sleeping Sickness
RIU's exemplar Best Bet on sleeping sickness control in Uganda was selected at an early stage of the RIU programme. It was seen as one of the high-potential research outputs from previous DFID-supported agricultural research.
A key achievement was the establishment of the Stamp Out Sleeping Sickness (SOS) campaign. This is a public-private partnership which brought together a veterinary pharmaceutical company, a private philanthropic organization, the state agency responsible for coordinating sleeping sickness control in Uganda and researchers and students from Uganda and the UK.
