Climate Change & Adaptation
The Centre for Health Research and Training (CHaRT-SL) will be a leading nonprofit, national non-governmental organisation located at the University of Management and Technology (UNIMTECH) in Freetown, Sierra Leone dedicated to advancing health, epidemiological, population, socioeconomic, environmental, climate change and biomedical research in Sierra Leone. Our mission is to generate high-quality, population-based data at the individual, household, residential unit and community levels, to inform health and development priorities and policies, ultimately improving health outcomes for communities across the nation.

By addressing these complex interactions, we aim to generate evidence that supports policies and programmes that foster both health equity and socio-economic progress.
