Funding and support
Like other non-profit networks, VBDModNet currently runs on volunteering to support and develop young scientists' careers.
Support our work
Donations to VBDModNet support our work directly. Monetary and in-kind contributions help our efforts in the control and prevention of vector-borne diseases: many vector-borne diseases cause epidemics, and models can guide public-health decision-makers on surveillance and control. We accept support from individuals, organisations and governments.
To support the network, please contact Dr Clement N. Mweya at mweya.clement@udsm.ac.tz.
