In 2008, five European foundations (the Volkswagen, Gulbenkian, Mérieux, Nuffield, and Cariplo foundations) driven by a common goal formed the EFINTD (www.ntd-africa.net). EFINTD aims to strengthen
research capacity in NTDs in Africa.This objective is accomplished by harnessing the skills of and empowering young African researchers who are based in their respective countries to perform research on various NTDs. The funding scheme supports recently qualified doctorate researchers with junior fellowships and more advanced researchers with senior fellowships.
