EDCTP (European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership) is a public-public partnership supported by the European Union, bringing together countries from Europe and sub-Saharan Africa. The organization is dedicated to reducing the burden of poverty-related infectious diseases in sub-Saharan Africa by supporting collaborative research. EDCTP's mission is to enhance research capacity and accelerate the development of accessible and affordable medical interventions.

They focus on all phases of clinical trials, with an emphasis on phase II and III trials. By promoting research and development, EDCTP aims to identify, treat, and prevent poverty-related infectious diseases in the region, including emerging and re-emerging diseases. EDCTP's governance structure includes the General Assembly, the board, the Scientific Advisory Committee, and the EDCTP Secretariat.

Their dedicated team operates from two locations: the Europe Office in The Hague, Netherlands, and the Africa Office in Cape Town, South Africa. Through their strategic approach and annual workplans, EDCTP actively supports the development of new medical interventions and strengthens research capacity. As a participant in the Horizon 2020 program, EDCTP ensures the effective implementation of their second program.
