KCRI evolved from the Kilimanjaro Clinical Research Centre (KCRC) in 2009. KCRC was established in 2006 with the support of the Dutch government through the Netherlands-African partnership for Capacity development and Clinical interventions Against Poverty-related disease (NACCAP). It was part of the APRIORI programme run by Radboud University Medical Center Nijmegen,[4] the Netherlands.[5] The guiding principles of APRIORI included: capacity building, multidisciplinary approach, equal partnership, open communication, long-term commitment, and sustainability. APRIORI followed on a long-term collaboration between Radboud University and KCMC since decades.
