The West African Network on TB, AIDS and Malaria (WANETAM) builds capacity to prepare West African sites for clinical trials on HIV, TB and malaria. The network started its activities on 31 July 2009.

In 2020, with support from EDCTP, WANETAM established a gender-sensitive capacity-building platform for clinical research in West Africa – the TALENT Fellowship Program. This initiative aims to support the development of world-class, technically competent, and multi-disciplinary women scientists. The goal is to empower them to advance clinical and laboratory research on endemic and emerging infectious diseases, including Tuberculosis, AIDS, malaria, and COVID-19, in Sub-Saharan Africa.
