The MINNAGAN project entitled "Enhancing skills and competencies of local actors for
sustainable development of plant-based remedies and phytomedicines in Benin" aims to
strengthen higher education in Benin in order to improve research and
research-based teaching, enabling traditional medicine resources
to make an effective and sustainable contribution to the healthcare of the
population, by inducing a paradigm shift towards the evidence-based use
of standardized methods and properly formulated phytomedicines.
The MINNAGAN project entitled "Enhancing skills and competencies of local actors for

strengthen higher education in Benin in order to improve research and research-based teaching, enabling traditional medicine resources
to make an effective and sustainable contribution to the healthcare of the
population, inducing a paradigm shift towards the evidence-based use of
standardized methods and properly formulated phytomedicines. In
Benin, more than 70% of the population uses traditional medicine for primary health care
. However, the country is struggling to develop standardized herbal medicines
based on scientific evidence that complement modern medicines.
This delay can be explained by a lack of expertise in herbal medicine,
the absence of advanced research platforms, and weak collaboration between African countries
and with foreign specialists.
The MINNAGAN project, funded by the European Union under the ERASMUS-EDU-2023-CBHE program, aims to modernize traditional medicine in Benin over three years by strengthening higher education and research to effectively integrate herbal medicines into the national health system.
The project will focus on three main areas:
1. Strengthening the capacity of higher education institutions to develop and implement training programs in traditional medicine.
2. Strengthening the capacity of research institutions to develop and implement research programs in traditional medicine.
3. Strengthening the capacity of health institutions to develop and implement programs for the effective integration of herbal medicines into the national health system.
