---------------------------------------------------------------

I am writing to request your assistance in identifying African re-
searchers/professionals involved in grassroots/national/international
health issues of Africans.
The organization I work for, the Canadian Institutes of Health Re-
search (CIHR) is taking a lead, through a Global Health Research Ini-
tiative partnership, on the consultative process leading up to the G8
meeting in June where the approval of the Africa Action Plan will
take place. This Plan will define how G8 member countries will meet
the objectives of the New Partnership for Africa's Development
(NEPAD), a report produced for the G8 meeting in Genoa last year.
CIHR, which is Canada's leading agency for health research, seek to
inform the G8 process by providing a recommendation and supporting
background paper on how increased investment in health research con-
tributes to improved health and economic development in Africa. The
partners and the Coalition are seeking additional input through con-
sultative processes that are designed to coordinate the views of the
developing country researcher community, and invite the views of in-
ternational and national research organizations with shared interest
in global health research.
Interested participants could provide input through the website of
the Coalition for Global Health Research:
