Through research with an interdisciplinary comparative approach, the project analyses the epidemiological projection capacities for Ghana while developing a framework potentially adaptable in other countries. The project bundles expertise from the Berlin University Alliance (BUA) context on infection epidemiology, health services research, health policy and sociogeography, combining these with similar expertise in Ghana to form a comparative research network.
