Assessing whether a Plasmodium falciparum tyrosine kinase-like protein kinase (PfTKL2) expressed

on the surface of infected red blood cells is a target of natural immunity to malaria

City: KILIFI

Supervisor: Abdirahman Abdi & Pete Bull

Background

Development of an effective malaria vaccine remains a global public health priority. Children who grow

up in stable malaria transmission areas acquire antibody-mediated disease protective immunity (Marsh

1992) but the critical targets of this immunity remain unknown. A malaria vaccine that can elicit a response

similar to that acquired after repeated natural infections could save millions of lives especially of children

under 5 years of age. Development of such a vaccine requires identification of the parasite molecules

responsible for inducing these protective responses. The P. falciparum genome encodes approximately

5300 proteins, many of which could be targets of the observed disease protective immune response.

Identification of potential targets of this immunity is closely linked to efforts to develop malaria vaccines.

However, only a small fraction of these potential targets have been evaluated as vaccine candidates

(http://who.int/vaccine_research/links/Rainbow/en/index.html). So far efforts have been directed to two

main class of proteins: (1) surface proteins of the liver (sporozoite) and blood (merozoite) invasive stages

and those secreted during the invasion process, (2) proteins exported to the surface of infected red blood

cell (iRBC). A conserved P. falciparum tyrosine kinase-like kinase, PfTKL2 (PF11_0220) was recently shown

203

to be exported to the surface of the iRBC (Singh, Mukherjee et al. 2009). We will express recombinant

fragments of PF11_0220 in Escherichia coli and assess whether this protein is a target of natural immunity

and hence a vaccine candidate.

QUESTION TO BE ADDRESSED BY INTERN

Overall objective: To determine whether PfTKL2, an exported P. falciparum protein kinase is a target of

naturally acquired antibodies.

Specific Objectives:

• Clone and express fragments derived from the sequence encoding PfTKL2 as soluble recombinant

proteins in E. coli.

• Assess whether these fragments are targets of naturally acquired antibodies using archived

plasma samples collected from well-established cohorts for immuno-epidemiological studies.

• Determine whether the magnitude of the antibody response against PfTKL2 fragment correlates

with clinical protection against malaria.

SKILLS TO BE ACQUIRED BY INTERN

Molecular and biochemical techniques such cloning and in vitro expression of recombinant proteins, protein

purifications, western blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and statistic skills necessary for

the data analysis

Molecular characterization of Adenovirus in Kilifi and the role of the different serotypes in respiratory

illness

City: KILIFI

Supervisor: Clayton Onyango

BACKGROUND

Adenoviruses cause a broad spectrum of clinical disease and are responsible for approximately 7 to 8%

of reported childhood viral respiratory infections worldwide. Other than respiratory tract infections,

adenoviruses are also associated with pharyngoconjuctival fever, conjunctivitis, hemorrhagic cystitis and

gastroenteritis in humans. Most adenoviral infections are self limiting, but some have been associated with

severe and in some cases fatal outcomes in both immunocompromised and healthy individuals. Up to 55

adenovirus serotypes have been identified and these are classified into 7 species. Serotypes 1-7 have

been associated mainly with respiratory illnesses, while serotypes 40 and 41 have been associated with

gastroenteritis. There is little information on the epidemiology of adenovirus species and serotypes

prevalent in sub Saharan Africa. It is therefore important to identify the different adenoviruses in

nasopharyngeal swabs collected from pneumonia admissions (at Kilifi district hospital) as well as those

collected at the community level (house hold study) with the aim of establishing their role in respiratory

illnesses. Recently, innovative molecular techniques have been modified to rapidly identify the different

serotypes with a better precision than the traditional methods of neutralization assays. By targeting

adenovirus hexon gene, up-to 51 serotypes can be identified and these include those viruses involved in

respiratory illnesses.


• What are the dominant adenovirus serotypes in Kilifi?

• What role does a particular serotype play in a subsequent infection of the same host?

Skills to be acquired by intern

Developing a Socio-economic Index for Kilifi Health Demographic Surveillance System

City: KILIFI

Supervisor: Evasius Bauni & Jane Chuma

BACKGROUND

Socio-economic status (SES) has long been a predictive variable in studies on population health status and

access to health care services. How to ensure both the poor and the rich benefit from health interventions

remains a major concern in health and development debates. The KEMRI-Welcome Trust has had a Health

Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) for the last 10 years. The KHDSS is an important resource for

researchers within the programme. Quite often many researchers have expressed interest in having a

socioeconomic index that categorises households in the KHDSS into various socio-economic groups. Until

recently (January 2011), complete data on socio-economic variables were not available from the KHDSS.

A socio-economic index will enable researchers to explore the relationship between socio-economic status

and various health outcomes. The overall aim of this project is to develop a socio-economic index that can

clearly distinguish households within the Kilifi HDSS.


• The intern will be expected to conduct a scientific literature review on the range of variables used

to measure socio-economic status in developing countries

• Define and model a socio-economic index that clearly distinguishes households within the Kilifi

HDSS

• Compare the performance of the socio-economic index developed with others identified in the

literature, especially those used in Kenya.


• Scientific literature review

A comparison of 2 methods used in estimating the mid-point in measuring the Mid Upper Arm

Circumference; Its implication to accuracy

City: KILIFI

Supervisor: Martha Mwangome & James Berkley

BACKGROUND

It is common practice for health workers in a busy rural health clinic to identify and use simplified non-

validated procedures in measuring anthropometry among children. These summarized but informal

procedures which are largely borrowed from the long formal procedure, are normally aimed at shortening

the measuring processes and also at omitting steps perceived to be “irrelevant”. Regularly, health workers

measure the weight of a fully/half dressed children contrary to the instructions or measure the length of

children with one leg pressing onto the leg board and not two legs as instructed or using “eyeballing” to

estimate the midpoint of the upper arm in taking MUAC instead of using the tape measure/string as

instructed.

There is currently little information on how these informal procedures affect the accuracy of the outcome

measure and eventually their effect on their interpretation.


Are there significant differences in the estimation of MUAC using the formal compared to informal

procedure of estimating the midpoint?

Understanding the factors that enhance and constrain the effective delivery and uptake of ANC and

MCH services in Kilifi District

City: KILIFI

Supervisor: Caroline Jones & Bryn Kemp

AIM

To investigate the factors that influence the use of ANC and MCH services by women in Kilifi District and to

understand the challenges and facilitating factors that affect health care provider practices and impact on

the quality of services they provide.

BACKGROUND

Kenya has identified the need to improve birth outcomes as a public health priority. Based on current

estimates, deaths during the first 28 days of life exceed the entire Millennium Develop Goal target for

childhood mortality (MDG4). Whilst prematurity and fetal growth restriction are two of the key

determinants of newborn survival, their relative prevalence in the majority of Kenya and sub-Saharan

Africa remains unknown and data reporting the causes of stillbirth and perinatal death are limited.

However, at least 60% of the 4 million neonatal deaths each year are associated with low birth weight

(LBW). Causes of LBW include intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), preterm delivery and

genetic/chromosomal abnormalities. The contribution of risk factors such as malaria, maternal

undernutrition, HIV and anaemia to abnormal fetal growth, and how the latter relates to infant growth

patterns in sSA is not known. A greater understanding of how these risk factors interact with fetal growth is

required to guide interventions targeted at reducing the burden of perinatal morbidity and mortality.

Recently, Kilifi District hospital (KDH) became one of the sites for INTERGROWTH-21st, an international

study which uses ultrasound to date pregnancies and assess fetal growth accurately. By measuring

208

neonatal/infant growth accurately and collecting data on the health status of the pregnant women, the

study will provide the first comprehensive description of the impact of maternal under-nutrition, malaria,

HIV and anaemia upon birthweight and pregnancy outcomes in Kenya and other parts of the world. A

unique feature of the study as it is being implemented in Kilifi is an assessment of how the introduction of

ultrasound technology for routine antenatal care (ANC) will affect care pathways for patients within KDH.

This socio-behavioral component of the Intergrowth study is concerned with investigating the factors that

influence the use of ANC and maternal and child health services (MCH) and the impact of the introduction

of ultrasound scans on the perceptions and behaviours of women attending these services. It is also

concerned with the perceptions and practices of the providers of care and identification of factors that

enhance and/or constrain the delivery of quality services and may impact on the implementation of

ultrasound scanning under routine ANC conditions. Data for this component of the study is being collected

through a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods such as observations (structured and un-

structured), in-depth interviews (with providers and pregnant women) and group discussions.

This internship will utilize part of the qualitative data already collected and will take part in additional

qualitative data collection activities to provide information on the factors that influence the use of ANC and

MCH services by women in Kilifi District and to understand the challenges and facilitating factors that

affect health care provider practices and impact on the quality of services they provide. The intern will

also conduct a literature review of relevant studies and undertake qualitative data analysis. The intern will

be supported by a senior social scientist (Dr Caroline Jones), and the PI of the broader study (Dr Bryn

Kemp).

• An understanding of the concepts and methods used in qualitative research

• Qualitative data collection; analysis & interpretation

• Scientific writing and presentation skills.


• Social science training

• Experience in in-depth interviews and FGDs

Relationship between patients’ educational level and anti-epileptic drug adherence amongst adults in

Kilifi District

City: KILIFI

Supervisor: Michael Kihara & Caroline Kathomi

BACKGROUND

Non-adherence to epilepsy medications can interfere with treatment and may adversely affect clinical

outcomes. There are a number of studies on the strategies for improving adherence to anti-epileptic drugs

(AEDs) in patients with epilepsy (PWE). Interventions of education and counselling of PWE have shown

mixed success. However, behavioural interventions such as the use of intensive reminders and

'implementation intention' interventions provided more positive effects on adherence (Ai-Aqeel & Al-

Shabhan, 2011).

Studies have however overlooked the potential confounding effects of education level of the PWE in

adherence studies. A recent study in the US showed that the main cause of non-adherence was socio-

economic status (Modi et al., 2011) while another pointed to forgetfulness as the reason for non-adherence

(Hovinga et al., 2008). Forgetfulness is a cognitive trait and so we speculate that level of education could

be associated with adherence to AEDs.

We have drug levels of PWE in the Kilifi DSS which were collected as part of a previous study. We intend

to invite these PWE to undertake a brief cognitive test and answer questions on their education

background.


• Is there a relationship between AED drug adherence and education level

• Is there a relationship between AED drug adherence and performance on cognitive test.

• What are the contributing factors of poor adherence amongst adult patients with epilepsy


• Development of a cognitive impairment tool

Validation of immuno-adaptive genes by real-time PCR

City: KILIFI

Supervisor: Margaret Mackinnon & Martin Rono

BACKGROUND

We have identified some genes in malaria parasites that are associated with high levels of immunity. This

was done by comparing gene transcription levels in parasites taken from a high malaria transmission

(Kisumu) vs. a low transmission area (Kilifi) using whole-genome microarrays. We found some of the

parasites gene’s were consistently up-regulated in high transmission areas suggesting that these genes may

be adaptive to high levels of immunity.


Using real-time PCR, transcription levels on each of these candidate adaptive genes will be performed on

samples taken from an independent sample from these populations. This will confirm whether the results

from the microarray assays are representative of what is found in the parasite populations from these high

and low transmission areas.

Patient safety is a major focus of research in developed countries. There are however few studies on the

prevalence of significant medical errors in low-income countries. The 8 hospitals dataset produced by our

previous cluster RCT provides over 12,000 observations of patient care over more than 2 years from 8

hospitals across Kenya. Details of drug choice, drug dose and route of administration provide an

opportunity to assess the prevalence of errors and examine whether training is associated with a decline in

errors. At the same time developing the methods for these analyses will allow their future use on data to

be collected in studies of 10 hospitals planned for late 2012.

Question to be addressed by interns

• What is the frequency of drug prescription errors in a large data set of hospital admissions

• Is training associated with a decline in medical error frequency


• Data manipulation to create suitable outcome and explanatory variables

• Determination of prevalence of errors

• Estimation of cluster adjusted prevalence of errors

• Regression modeling of errors and variables hypothesized to be associated with errors possibly

progressing to multi-level modeling


• Statistics / biostatisitcs

• Epidemiology

Assessing the practicality of comprehensive inpatient data collection in rural Kenyan hospitals using

Open Clinica

City: Nairobi

Supervisor: Mike English & Naomi Muinga

BACKGROUNG

Kenyan health information systems are currently very weak. In particular we have established that data on

inpatient mortality / morbidity is of such poor quality that it is uninformative. Ideally such data would not

only provide accurate and timely M&M reporting but would also allow evaluation of the uptake of new

clinical policies – such as the requirement to restrict use of anti-malarial drugs to children with a positive

malaria diagnostic. In collaboration with the MoH we continue to evaluate potentially useful approaches to

improving data collection. Recent success with Open Clinica in support of a pneumonia RCT suggests that

this system may be used, if adapted and linked with a data entry clerk, to provide timely M&M and

process of care data from inpatient settings. We intend to pilot such a system. Developing the methods for

such data collection will allow their future use in studies of 10 hospitals planned for late 2012.


Can Open Clinica be used successfully to improve timely M&M reporting from rural inpatient settings and

also provide timely process of care data important for monitoring policy implementation


• Ability to adapt and work with Open Clinica

• Establishing systems for remote data capture

• Establishing systems for reducing data entry errors

• Evaluation of data quality and scope for scaling up

Field evaluation of efficacy and effectiveness biolarvicides in the control of malaria vectors

City: KILIFI

Supervisor: Simon Muriu & Charles Mbogo

BACKGROUND

Mosquito larval control interventions forms a key element of integrated vector management programs

which employs a variety of complimentary intervention tools in the fight against malaria and other

mosquito-borne diseases. Targeted larval control strategies have shown the potential of being effective,

low cost and with low environmental impact and consequently highly successful due to the limited mobility

of the pre-adult mosquito stages. Larviciding is one of the main strategies for decimating malaria vectors,

Anopheles species, and biological larvicides provide a promising alternative to the non-specific and often

environmentally harmful chemical larvicides. However, prior knowledge and understanding of the efficacy

and effectiveness of these bio-larvicides is crucial to their successful adoption and implementation in

malaria vector control programs. The experiments in this study will explore the efficacy and effectiveness

of three bio-larvicides under different concentrations in artificial and natural/field mosquito breeding

habitats. The survivorship of the targeted mosquitoes will be evaluated and molecular analysis of the

Anopheles species carried out to determine the identity of the mosquitoes targeted in the natural

environments.


• What is the efficacy of the bio-larvicides against Anopheles mosquitoes under artificial and field

conditions

• How effective are different bio-larvicides in controlling malaria vectors

• How long do these biolarvicides remain effective?


• How to conduct efficacy trials of bio-larvicides and other agents against malaria vectors

• Experimental biology of Malaria vectors

• Molecular techniques and procedures in vector biology (molecular entomology)

214

• Behavioral responses of malaria vectors in natural environment to control agents

• Research and analytical skills related to vector biology and vector control

• Malaria vector management in tropical environments


• Biological/Biomedical sciences

• Interest in vector biology and vector intervention strategies particularly use of biological larvicides.

Immune responses to respiratory syncytial virus infection in the upper respiratory tract of children

City: KILIFI

Supervisor: James Nokes & Charles Sande

BACKGROUND

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the major viral cause of pneumonia in infants and children under 5

years old. RSV circulates as two main antigenic Groups (A and B) and a set of genotypes. This variation

may enable immune evasion. The virus first encounters the human host in the mucosa of the upper

respiratory tract and it is here that acquired immunity from prior infection can act to prevent re-infection

and subsequent transmission to other individuals or select for escape variants. Both IgG and IgA

immunoglobulin types are found in the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract. The nature of the primary

and secondary mucosal immune response, particularly in relation to the infecting variant, is not well

understood. Archived blood and nasopharyngeal specimens are available from household cohort studies

and childhood admissions.

QUESTIONS TO BE ADDRESSED BY INTERN

• What are the kinetics of the RSV-specific IgA and IgG mucosal immune responses in primary and

secondary infections?

• Is there a variant specific mucosal IgA/IgG immune response to RSV?


215

• Cell culture and virus isolation techniques.

• Optimization of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of RSV-specific IgA and

IgG.

• Virus strain characterization and vial diagnosis by molecular methods.

• Peptide selection.

• Literature searching and synthesis.

• Data manipulation and basic statistics.

Disease association and concurrency in respiratory virus infection

City: KILIFI

Supervisor: James Nokes

BACKGROUND

Respiratory viruses are a major burden of disease in infants and children. In paediatric pneumonia hospital

admissions a respiratory virus can be detected in excess of 60% of cases, and in 10-15% of these more

than one virus can be identified. The causal association between virus presence in the upper respiratory

tract and the observed disease is questionable. Where more than one virus is present the question of

which, if any, is the cause of the child’s illness is uncertain. There is some evidence that viral load is related

to disease severity. Interaction between concurrent viral infections has been proposed to result in enhanced

disease in some instances. Molecular diagnosis of 15 or more respiratory viruses using Real Time

Polymerase Chain Reaction (rt-PCR) has been undertaken on nasal specimens from childhood admissions to

Kilifi District Hospital since 2007. Rt-PCR provides semi-quantitative data on viral load in the sample.

These data provide a rich source to investigate viral interactions and disease associations.


• Does viral quantity provide insight into disease association?

216

• Is there evidence for disease enhancement in concurrent viral infection?

SKILLS TO BE ACQUIRED BY THE INTERN

Database manipulation and statistical analysis. Use of statistical software, including STATA. Literature

search and synthesis

Linking ITN coverage with malaria infection prevalence

City: Nairobi

Supervisor: Abdisalan Noor & Robert Snow

BACKGROUND

Insecticide treated mosquito nets (ITNs) are the main tool for malaria prevention in most sub-Saharan

African countries. ITNs have been shown to reduce significantly malaria infection and all-cause mortality.

Significant investments have been put in scaling up ITNs over the past 10 years in East Africa with recent

studies reporting substantial decline in malaria burden. However, quantifying the actual proportion of this

decline attributable to ITNs is complex and requires the assembly of both infections an ITN coverage data

at similar time-point of a long time series. The aim of the study will be to assemble data on ITN coverage

over 10 years for East Africa and link this to already assembled data on malaria infection prevalence.


The space-time coverage of ITNs in East Africa from 2000-2011


• Introduction to research methods

• Assembly of household survey data

• Analysis of household survey data

217

• Basic Bayesian Geostatistics


• BSc in Geomatics or Applied Mathematics/Statistics or Geography

• Programming skills in R or C++ or Python

• Previous experience in Spatial Analysis especially geostatistics is an advantage



INT017

Validation of verbal autopsy (VA) tool for detectng and classifying causes of death in people with

Active Convulsive Epilepsy (ACE) in Kilifi, Kenya.

City: KILIFI

Supervisor: Anthony Ngugi & Caroline Kathomi

BACKGROUND

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders affecting close to 70 million people worldwide,

90% who live in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMIC). Epilepsy, particularly active convulsive epilepsy

(ACE) is associated with psycho-social problems and decreased life-expectancy.

In Africa, there are only a few studies that examine the mortality of epilepsy. These studies suggest that

mortality is increased, but the magnitude is unclear, and the risk factors and causes of death (COD) have

not been identified. The COD in epilepsy can be classified as directly related to epilepsy, related to the

underlying cause of epilepsy or unrelated to epilepsy. In the West, deaths related directly or indirectly to

epilepsy are infrequent, but these causes may be more frequent in LMIC.

While industrialized countries utilize postmortem records to provide data on COD, these records are often

not available in LMIC. The use of verbal autopsies (VA) in attributing COD in epilepsy has been

encouraged in LMIC where often less than half of the deaths are registered and the deceased person

often received no medical attention. VA involves the interviewing of family members or caregivers of the

deceased about the circumstances of a death and in some cases care seeking behaviour prior to the event.

Their use in epilepsy however raises some important methodological issues, particularly with regard to

robustness in detecting less well known COD such as sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), which

218

requires a full physical autopsy to rule out other COD. This method however has potential advantages over

death certification in that it does not require medical expertise in data collection, can be used for both

children and adults and is relatively cheap and easy to administer.

There are several VA tools in use in LMIC, all of which differ considerably in structure (design, layout and

sequence of questions) but not on content. One review identified 18 VA tools that are currently in use in

which key filter questions on signs and symptoms were not substantially different.

In Kilifi, the immediate causes and mode of death have been investigated in a cohort with ACE using the

standard WHO VA tool (WHO 1999 - International Standard Verbal Autopsy Questionnaires) which has

been extended to include more epilepsy specific items. However, the screening parameters of the

extended tool have not been established. We aim for the intern to conduct a validation study of this tool

against deaths (within this cohort) that occurred at the Kilifi District Hospital.

QUESTION TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE INTERN

• Validity of the tool in detecting cause-specific mortality in epilepsy.

• Validity in classifying deaths as epilepsy related or otherwise.


• Organising and cleaning of admissions to hospital and epilepsy study databases.

• Epidemiological analysis to determine the screening parameters.


• An interest in Epidemiology/Statistics/Databases.

• Nursing, Medical Officer, or Statistics.

Changes in the Incidence of Burkitts Lymphoma with changes in the incidence of malaria

City: KILIFI

Supervisor: Charles Newton & Mohammed Shebe

219

BACKGROUND

Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL) is an undifferentiated non-Hodgkins lymphoma that accounts for approximately

40-60% of all childhood malignancies in tropical Africa. There are three varieties of this aggressive B-cell

lymphoma have been described: endemic, sporadic and non-Burkitt’s lymphoma. The endemic version is

found in equatorial Africa where two predisposing factors malaria and Epstein Barr virus are common. This

form predominantly presents with tumours of the jaw in children.

There are three known predisposing factors for Burkitt’s lymphoma: Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection,

malarial infection and chromosomal translocation usually involving chromosomes 8 and 14. BL is the most

common childhood malignancy seen in equatorial Africa where both. The coastal region of Kenya provides

an ideal backdrop for studying the epidemiology of Burkitt’s lymphoma. The coastal area is characterized

by P. falciparum transmission, but over the last 4 years the incidence of malaria has decreased

significantly.

Since 1993 a median of 4 cases per year have been admitted to Kilifi District Hospital, but in the last 2.5

years there has not been one case admitted. Whether this decrease in admissions of Burkitts Lymphoma is

related to the decrease in the incidence of malaria is not known.


• Has the incidence of Burkitts Lymphoma significantly decreased on the coast of Kenya?

• If so, is this decrease associated with the reduction in the incidence of malaria?


• Organising and cleaning a database of admissions to hospital of Burkitts lymphoma from Malindi,

Kilifi District Hospitals and Coast General.

• Epidemiological analysis to examine the incidence and compare with incidence of malaria.


• An interest in Epidemiology

• Nursing, Medical officer, Epidemiologist or Statistician.

The impact of cotrimoxazole prophylaxis on neutrophil microbial kiling

City: KILIFI

Supervisor: Jay Berkley & Kelsey Jones

BACKGROUND

We are currently conducting a clinical trial of cotrimoxazole prophylaxis in severely malnourished children

who are highly susceptible to severe infection (CTX trial). There is some evidence that, in addition to a

direct antibiotic effect, one mechanism of action of cotrimoxazole may be to improve intracellular

bacterial killing. Neutrophil leukocytes are critical components of the early innate immune response. They

ingest phagocytose and kill extracellular bacteria and fungi in a process that depends on the production

of reactive oxygen species. This project aims to determine if cotrimoxazole affects microbial killing. The

intern will be working as a member of a small but busy immunology group and will benefit from daily

support and advice from the supervisors. Scientific and ethical approvals for the project have already

been obtained.

QUESTION TO BE ADDRESSED Y INTERN

Using both a traditional microbiological method and a new flow cytometry-based killing assay, does

cotrimoxazole prophylaxis alter neutrophil bacterial killing?


Multiparameter flow cytometry; microbial phagocytosis and oxidation assay; ex-vivo stimulation assays;

ELISA; study design and analysis.


BSc in immunology or a closely related laboratory science, preferably with lab experience or project

work.

COMMUNICATION & RESOURCE MOBILIZATION OFFICER (23 September 2011)

Grade: PL-5/PL-4

Position N°: NA

Reference: ADB/11/TA011



Objectives

The African Water Facility (AWF) is an initiative of the African Ministers’ Council on Water (AMCOW),

which supports a wide range of African institutions to address the increasing investment need for the

development and management of water resources in Africa, towards meeting the Africa Water Vision

2025 targets and the Millennium Development Goals. The African Development Bank is hosting the Facility

on the request of AMCOW. The Facility is realigning its strategic priorities for the period 2012-2016 to

better support its clients and for achieving greater impact. The overarching strategic objective for the

period is to leverage investments through three strategic priorities, namely preparing bankable projects

and programs for effective and sustainable investments, and of small-scale strategic (innovative and

catalytic) investments, enhancing water governance to create a more conducive environment for sustained

and effective investments at national and regional levels and promoting water knowledge for

strengthened water management at national, regional and transboundary levels and better informed

project development and design. The three strategic priorities are synergetic, mutually reinforce each

other and together attract investments into the sector. AWF plans, organizes and conducts activities in the

above-mentioned areas, in relation to the project and program cycle (identification, preparation,

execution and supervision) in all African countries. The Facility undertakes studies on issues concerning

water sector development and related areas. It provides guidance and technical assistance to African

countries and ensures coordination and synergy with the other partners and donors in Africa’s water and

sanitation sector. To carry through these activities, the Bank recruits multi-disciplinary staff whose skills

289

correspond to its key areas of intervention. The AWF currently manages a €80 million project portfolio

shared all over Africa.

A recent assessment underlined the necessity of promoting the AWF works and successes, as well as

improving its rather limited visibility. This of course will facilitate fund raising which is a major issue for the

AWF. With regards to the 2010-2012 operational program which requires Euro 137 million to implement,

AWF has secured 46 million or 33%, leaving 91 million to be raised. Beyond 2012 the Facility also wishes

to ensure longer term funding of its operations. Raising additional funding, particularly in the current

challenging financial climate, requires significant dedicated efforts. The AWF is recruiting a Communication

and Resource Mobilization Officer (CRMO) who will be in charge of the communication plan and fund

raising activities.
