Collaborating with PHARMBIOTRAC of Mbarara University of Science andTechnology (MUST)

Pharm-Bio Technology and Traditional Medicine Centre (PHARMBIOTRAC) belongs to Mbarara University of Science and Technology aiming at promoting research into and use of traditional medicine. In April 2021, AVA also co-organised a week’s training with PHARMBIOTRAC on the use of medicinal herbs at Businge, Kamwenge. As a follow-up to this training, 30 people under the supervision of AVA have formed a group called “TAMBIRA AMAGARA” (save life) to grow medicinal plants. AVA is the only one in the area focusing on threatened species with potential health solutions.
