LAISDAR gathers 6 partners together into a collaborative research where each one brings specific expertise. The uniqueness of the consortium stands in gathering together both academics experts in data sciences and e-Health, academic centres of excellence, government agency (Ministry of Health/ Rwanda biomedical centre), hospitals, healthcare professionals, private SMEs (RASD Rwanda) active in innovation in data management/sharing and community outreach.

The project will adopt a governance model that will promote the active participation of all involved stakeholders, including both academia and health facilities, national COVID-19 testing sites and other interested in using data to generate evidences. The consortium will be a challenging project to manage due to its size, its ambition, the variety of activities and their interdependencies. For this purpose, we foresee setting up a dedicated project management office (PMO), and a permanent research officer.

The consortium will establish a Work Package Leaders (WPLs) monitoring meetings to evaluate the project progress and to ensure alignment, scientific coherence and coordination across WPs.
