There is no comparable school in the world. Bioforce’s excellence lies in its ability to train useful, active people.

Solidarités International

Having a centre in Africa with a partner as experienced as Bioforce is a privilege.

Gilles Fagninou
Deputy regional director

Unicef (West and Central Africa)

The training was provided by an experienced Bioforce trainer with very good understanding of complex contexts, but who, at the same time, was able to deliver a training that allowed participation from staff who never had security training before to those with extensive experience of working in insecure and hostile environments.
