Global Programs for Research & Training

UCSF maintains Global Programs NGO offices in Africa to support implementation of UC faculty and staff’s global health research and training activities. Country offices are staffed by local specialists who provide administrative, logistical, and technical support for UC projects.

UCSF researchers partner with governments, local agencies, non-government organizations and U.S. government agencies in other countries to address health issues from HIV, malaria, and TB to surgery, orthopedics, and maternal and child health.

As UCSF’s research portfolio and in-country partnerships expand, local registered offices enable us to be more effective and compliant with government and funding regulations.

Our offices support UC researchers working in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. We also have an active registration in South Africa, but no current operations in that location. While technical staff provide support and expertise in informatics, monitoring and evaluation, and surveillance and strategic information.
