Introducing CTC.africa

The CTC online platform makes the process of identifying African clinical trials sites effortless by providing easy access to African clinical trialists, site feasibility data and regulatory and ethics information all on one platform.

Problem Statement

How did CTC.africa became a solution?

Africa accounts for approximately 18% of the global population and bears nearly 25% of the world’s disease burden. Despite this, the continent receives only 3–4% of global clinical research funding. This disparity limits Africa’s ability to contribute to and benefit from high-quality clinical research, slowing the development of locally relevant treatments and innovations.

The Clinical Trial Community (CTC) Platform was created to address this gap by showcasing Africa’s extensive research capabilities, improving access to information on clinical trial sites, regulatory pathways, and investigator expertise. By providing a centralised, transparent, and data-driven resource, the CTC platform aims to attract greater research investment, foster collaborations, and ultimately enhance Africa’s role in the global clinical research landscape.
