Anaemia remains a major public health problem to control in sub-Saharan Africa due to its complex causes which vary from not only direct health diseases (like iron deficiency, malaria etc) but to many predisposing causes in the the environment, culture, poverty and inequalities, and poor health and governance systems. Furthermore, anaemia control suffers from disjointed, fragmented approaches with individual programmes using different definitions of anaemia and tackling the problem from different perspectives. We aim to develop an interdisciplinary network that can lead in the control of this intractable challenge of anaemia in sub-Saharan Africa by leading cutting-edge research and facilitating the uptake and implementation of innovative solutions to prevent anaemia. We will bring together scientific experts in nutrition, food technology, global health, agriculture, social science, psychology, molecular biology and economics. We shall further include representatives of policy makers, international donor agencies, non-governmental organizations, commercial companies working in drug and food manufacturing and the public. They will firstly raise the awareness of the need for an inter-sectorial and harmonized approach to its control and secondly develop a strategic plan for research and programme implementation.

在撒哈拉以南非洲，贫血仍然是一个需要控制的主要公共卫生问题，原因复杂，不仅有直接的健康疾病（如缺铁、疟疾等），还有环境、文化、贫困和不平等以及不良的卫生和治理系统等许多诱发因素。此外，贫血症控制工作受到各自为政、各自为政的影响，个别方案使用不同的贫血症定义，从不同的角度解决问题。我们的目标是建立一个跨学科网络，通过领导尖端研究和促进采用和实施预防贫血的创新解决方案，在控制撒哈拉以南非洲贫血这一棘手挑战方面发挥主导作用。我们将汇集营养学、食品技术、全球健康、农业、社会科学、心理学、分子生物学和经济学方面的科学专家。我们还将包括决策者、国际捐助机构、非政府组织、从事药品和食品生产的商业公司和公众的代表。他们首先将提高对需要采取部门间协调一致的办法来控制艾滋病毒/艾滋病的认识，其次将制定一项研究和方案执行战略计划。
