The Institut Pasteur de Dakar officially designated as a Regional Training Centre (RTC) by the @WHO World Health Organization. From June 3 to 5, 2026, at the Synergizing Biomanufacturing Health Workforce Development conference, held at WHO Headquarters in Geneva, the WHO officially launched its global network of 7 Regional Training Centres as part of its Biomanufacturing Workforce Training Initiative (BWTI). IPD is proud to be the French-speaking African representative of this international network of excellence, alongside institutions such as the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) (South Africa), FIOCRUZ - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Brazil), NIBRT National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training (Ireland), TRANSLATIONAL HEALTH SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY INSTITUTE (India), the Center for Continuing Professional Development of the Egyptian Drug Authority (Egypt), and Peking University (China). This recognition reinforces the vision carried by the Institut Pasteur de Dakar through the MADIBA Workforce Development Initiative - Institut Pasteur de Dakar (MADIBA HWDI) and the Regional Biomanufacturing Training Hub: developing talent and skills in biomanufacturing for sustainable health sovereignty in Africa. IPD was represented by Ms. Marième Sy, Coordinator of the MADIBA HWDI, accompanied by the training team Elhadji Oumar Seck, Ramata Fall Diallo, and Fatou Ndiaye with a shared goal: strengthening local biomanufacturing capacities for sustainable health sovereignty in Africa and beyond.
