The meeting gathered a total of 11 participants coming from Benin, Burundi, DR Congo and Rwanda.

The objectives of the workshop were to:
- Help them produce awareness material based on their research results (article + poster)
- Inform them on communication using the social media
- Reinforce the GTI network of alumni.
The meeting was jointly organized by CEBioS (RBINS – GTI National Focal Point) and LABEF (Université d’Abomey-Calavi).
