In the second half of 2021, WDF supported projects that will build capacity and improve care within hyperglycaemia in pregnancy, TB-diabetes comorbidity, and rural populations. A school-based project in South Africa will work to prevent diabetes by educating children and their teachers and improving their lunches. Another new project takes learnings from past efforts to a new, regional level with the help of an important new partner, WHO/ Europe.
The projects reflect WDF’s new strategy, with its increased focus on diabetes care at the primary level and primary prevention targeting pregnant women and children. They also reflect the Foundation’s transition toward fewer but larger scale projects.
