Climate Change and Lymphatic Filariasis

In 2022, GLIDE launched its second iteration of the Falcon Awards for Disease Elimination – The Climate Edit in an effort to expand the evidence base on the intersection between climate change and infectious diseases. Nine projects were selected to conduct six-month formative research projects, the results were presented in a Compendium of Research in 2023. (https://glideae.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/FINAL-FADE4C-Compendium-of-Research.pdf)

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between climate change and transmission/prevalence of LF and malaria in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) with a focus on local perceptions in Ghana. The findings aim to increase attention to infectious diseases in the formulation of climate change policies and highlighting potential interventions to address existing gaps in local knowledge and understanding.
In partnership with: University of Health and Allied Sciences, HO, Ghana
