Burkina Faso (Formerly West Africa) Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Program
Background
In January 2010, the West Africa Field Epidemiology Training Program began, covering eight West African countries (Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and Togo). In January 2014, the program was extended to cover eight Francophone West African countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo). In 2018, the program--now called the Burkina Faso Field Epidemiology Training Program--was extended to cover Lusophone (Portuguese-speaking) countries such as Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde. The program trains professionals in human and animal health. In total, 40 residents from the participating countries have graduated and are currently working within their home countries.
