Health Action International Receives €460,000 Grant from Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Fight Snakebite Death & Disability in Sub-Saharan Africa.
On the 26th of October Health Action International (HAI), international secretariat for MeTA, was awarded a €460,000 grant from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs to scale up advocacy and education for the prevention and treatment of snakebite in Kenya, Uganda and Zambia.
The two-year grant will enable HAI to train civil society organisations in sub-Saharan Africa to collect and analyse snakebite data, then use this evidence to lobby for greater regional, national and international action. HAI will also work with these civil society organisations to teach local populations effective methods to prevent and treat snakebite.
