From Saturday 5th October 2019, five Division Managers of Rwanda Forensic Laboratory are in Netherlands for a study visit at Netherlands Forensic Institute. This will be a one-week field visit to foster the relations between the two agencies. It is also a beginning of joint partnership activities aiming at building capacity of RFL staff.
This follows the approval of the grant by NUFFIC. The project proposal from the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI) and the Rwanda Forensic Laboratory (RFL) will receive a grant from NUFFIC for the purpose of training and educating the RFL's staff. The proposal was approved for funding on Thursday 28 June.
Previously, in December 2018, the NFI and the RFL signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that set out their intention to enter into a long-term partnership. This grant will make it possible to implement that cooperation.
The approved project proposal includes:
- basic quality management training;
- training courses on DNA and Narcotics;
- study visits to the NFI for RFL division heads and experts;
- basic Crime Scene training;
- training in Forensic Awareness, including train-the-trainer;
- course in ethics for Rwandan doctors;
- Forensic Pathology advice.
The project will last two years and is scheduled to begin this October.
