Dear Colleagues:

Achievement of the sustainable development goals and Africa’s Agenda 2063 will be highly dependent on establishing a socio-economic growth framework based on science and technology in the continent. To this end, AIBBC has been focused on spearheading capacity building and innovation through continuous training and promotion of research collaboration and networking.

As a followup to the highly successful hands-on training workshops we organized in 2017, we are pleased to announce the upcoming "Workshop and Symposium on Capacity Building for National Sustainable Development". Under the theme "From Evidence generation through effective lab diagnosis and disease prediction strategies to effective implementation of findings", this workshop will provide participants with hands-on training experiences in cutting edge biomedical technologies relevant to sustainable management of infectious dieseases. Please join us.

Workshop details

Track 1: Laboratory diagnosis for effective disease diagnosis and generation of evidence-based clinical data
- This course will include antimicrobial stewardship and diagnostics in low resource settings. It is designed for clinicians, medical doctors, pharmacists, laboratory technologists, and biomedical scientists.

Track 2: Mathematical modelling of the impact of climate change on infectious diseases and the use of climate information in healthcare decision-making.
- This track will involve operational side of climate health and mathematical modelling of diseases for early prediction of disease outbreaks. The course will target climate scientists in health management, epidemiologists and biostatisticians.

Track 3: Translation of evidence based data into policy and programs
(Implementation Research ).
- This track in the second week will target all participants in Track 1 and 2 as well as policy and program implementers and social scientists in the East African region. The course will be delivered in the context of lectures with hands on examples and panel discussions in form of a symposium.
