Student Degree Prize (Winner)
Haddijatou Allen – Research Degree student at LSHTM
Haddijatou Allen is a research degree student at LSHTM. Prior to this, she worked at MRC Unit The Gambia at LSHTM as a research assistant and social scientist, where she engaged in several projects on reproductive health, non-communicable diseases, and COVID-19. Following the launch of the Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator (ACT-A) in April 2020, an initiative launched in April 2020 to enable a comprehensive and equitable global response to the COVID-19 pandemic, she contributed to its evaluation. Her evaluation role shaped her ongoing PhD research project, which focuses on evaluating a cross-border collaboration strategy for earlier detection and response to disease outbreaks between The Gambia and Senegal.
