Background
Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in Africa, ranks 182 out of 189 countries in the human development index. Additionally, it ranks below average compared to countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Action10 is now aiming to raise funds to provide lab equipment to the laboratories in Burkina Faso that currently experience a lack of resources. This will enable the laboratory to bring the research, on water quality among other things, forward and improve the standard of living.
Project update
We continuously want to make sure that we provide not only financial support but also educate our partners and laboratory staff to help the long-term success of the laboratories. Hence, we are are now hosing a virtual capacity strengthening programme for laboratory staff followed by examination in November. The training is provided by Assoc. Prof. Cecilia ÖMAN, CEO, HR&S HQ Sweden, and the examination is managed by Dr. Krishna MURTHY, HR&S senior expert adviser, India. We hope that this will be appreciated and that it will contribute to the future success of the laboratories.
