(DELTAS Africa) program is a transformative initiative launched in 2015 to enhance Africa's capacity for high-quality research and leadership in science. The program is designed to support collaborative consortia led by African scientists, aiming to strengthen African institutions and foster the development of world-class researchers. Its overarching goal is to drive locally relevant health research that influences science, policy, and practice, ultimately contributing to better health outcomes and development both on the continent and globally.

Managed by the Science for Africa Foundation (SFA Foundation), the second phase of the program, DELTAS Africa II, runs from 2023 to 2026 and features 14 consortia tackling key health and development challenges. One of these consortia, the Research and Excellence in African Capacity to Control and Treat CANcer (REACCT-CAN), is dedicated to advancing cancer research. REACCT-CAN focuses on enhancing cancer care, prevention, and early detection, addressing critical health needs and striving to improve cancer outcomes across Africa.
