<\/strong><\/em>Three institutes (Burundi Agricultural scientific Institute \u2018ISABU\u2019 from the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, Hope Africa University from the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and the National Institute of Public Health \u2018INSP\u2019 from the Ministry of Public Health) presented their applications for the centres of excellence in the Community during the second phase of evaluation. The first assessment occurred in 2011 while there wasn\u2019t any institute from Burundi which submitted its application.
\nDr Pierre Claver Kazihise, Director General of INSP indicates that the judges looked into many things: \u201cthe vision, mission of the institute, governance, institute management, performance or competence, teaching quality, learning and production resources, twinning and collaboration with other institutions.\u201d
\nFive (one from each partner State) judges composed the appraisal team and three from the national level. \u201cEach institute was assessed and got marks according to its performance. INSP got 85% that is the reason why the commission of assessors proclaimed our Institute as centre of excellence because we scored very good marks (over 8O%),\u201d points out Dr Kazihise.<\/p>\n

\u201cEAC Centres of Excellence will be supported\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The National Institute of Public Health is among other EAC Public Health Institutes awarded during the 15 EAC Summit of Heads of State held in Uganda.
\n\u201cToday, we are allowed to use the EAC symbols in our documents,\u201d underlines the Director General of INSP. He also states that all the awarded centres of excellence will receive a support to boost the education and training sector. \u201cWe are going to develop our teaching following modern technologies, improve research , build new infrastructure to allow our stakeholders\u2019 accessibility in improving our laboratory and scanner\u201d, points out Dr Kazihise. Moreover, he notices that the quality control will gain the field. \u201cThe Institute will focus on biomedical analysis and carry out other research to improve the health quality of Burundians and foreigners,\u201d adds Kazihise.
\nIn conclusion, Dr Kazihise mentions that the Institute will improve the quality of training in the community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
