The principle remains the same: research should be led locally and supported globally. By connecting researchers, sharing knowledge, and providing practical support, evidence can be generated by and for affected communities.

A new knowledge hub has been launched to support evidence generation during the current Bundibugyo Ebola virus outbreak.
Visit: globalhealthoutbreaks.tghn.org/ebola/
Current priorities include understanding disease severity in Bundibugyo virus disease and generating social science evidence to strengthen community engagement and risk reduction. The hub provides access to study support, resources and training in English and French.
Building on experience from Ebola, Zika, COVID-19 and mpox, the hub responds to requests from researchers and health workers for guidance, protocols, training, tools, collaboration opportunities and funding signposting.
Previous outbreaks also saw members establish working groups focused on disease characterisation, diagnostics and behavioural research, these can be supported if useful to teams to have this convening facility to develop their plans.
