APOPO

g trained African giant pouched rats, APOPO has been highly effective in detecting landmines, which has allowed the organization to expand its efforts into other fields, such as tuberculosis (TB) control, and to develop specially trained Technical Survey Dogs. As a research organization, APOPO remains committed to staying at the forefront of developing new humanitarian and environmental applications. APOPO’s Training and Innovation Center is based out of the Sokoine University of Agriculture in Tanzania. The Mine Action operations are spread across Angola, Azerbaijan, Cambodia, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe. Additionally, operational partnerships are maintained in South Sudan, Senegal and Turkey. APOPO’s programs work within government health systems to support over 160 partner clinics in Ethiopia, Mozambique, and Tanzania in their fight against TB. APOPO’s TB detection research laboratories work with trained rats and confirmatory technology to detect TB. We are supported by a large international network of diverse partners, donors, and the general public. Foundations in Switzerland, the United States, and the United Kingdom support APOPO’s work to save lives and develop sustainable solutions in low-income countries.
