The Disease Control Priorities Project (DCPP) is an ongoing project that aims to determine priorities for disease control across the world, particularly in low-income countries.[1] The project is most well known for the second edition of the report Disease Control Priorities in Developing Countries (published in 2006,[2] often abbreviated as DCP2 and sometimes referred to as "the DCP2 Report").
The Disease Control Priorities Project is a joint enterprise of a number of groups,[3] including the University of Washington Department of Global Health, the World Bank, the Fogarty International Center (National Institutes of Health), World Health Organization, Population Reference Bureau, Gates Foundation, the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy, and the International Decision Support Initiative.[4][5] Notable editors involved in the project include Dean Jamison, Alan Lopez, Colin Mathers, Christopher J.L. Murray, George Alleyne, Ramanan Laxminarayan, Prabhat Jha, and Anne Mills.
