  2. Subproject on statistical modeling • Titles of the PhD projects • Title: Statistical and mathematical models for HIV infection in • Ethiopia by Fasil Tessema • Supervision: Ziv Shkedy and Marc Aerts (UHasselt) • Title: The statistical analysis of spatially correlated survival data • with applications in Malaria by Yehenew Getachew • Supervision: Luc Duchateau (UGent) and Paul Janssen (UHasselt) • Title: The statistical analysis of the Jimma longitudinal family survey • of youth: Wondwossen Kassahun • Supervision: Geert Molenberghs (UHasselt and KULeuven) and • Geert Verbeke (KULeuven)

  3. 2. Information on visits Yehenew is visiting at the moment (Gent and Hasselt) Two more visits possible Conference of the Ethiopian Statistical Association in Jimma (december 2008): Shkedy, Duchateau, Janssen and Khangelani

  4. 3. Information on equipment/books A first set of books related to the PhD topics has been Purchased. 4. Achievements Not yet applicable.

  5. 5. Plans for the coming year Research visits by Fasil, Yehenew and Wondwossen to UHasselt, UGent and/or KULeuven (visits are related to the PhD work and are within the context of sandwich grants) [three times three months]. Further contribute to the curriculum building (master at Jimma University) [See also Section 6].

  6. 6. Other remarks Two broaden the scope of our intended capacity building at Jimma University we recently submitted a North-South-South proposal to VLIR-UOS. The IUC partner university 1: Jimma, University, Ethiopia The IUC partner university 2: University Eduardo Mondlane, Mozambique

  7. Subproject on schistosomiasis and malaria 1. Titles the PhD projects Epidemiology of Malaria at the Gilgel Gibe dam region by Sultan Suleman Screening of Schistosomiasis at Gilgel Gibe dam region by Zeleke Mekonnen
