We are a community for those working on ethics and community engagement across the Wellcome Trust Africa and Asia Programmes. We are also home to the "Global Health Bioethics Network" (GHBN): a programme to carry out ethics research and build ethics capacity across the Wellcome Trust’s Programmes in Kenya, Malawi, South Africa, Thailand-Laos, and Viet Nam, as well as other Wellcome Trust centres, such as the Brighton and Suffolk Centre for Global Health Research. The GHBN is funded by a Wellcome Trust Strategic Award from 2012 - 2022.
