INRB was inaugurated on December 8, 1984, by French President François Mitterrand and First Commissioner of State Kengo wa Dondo and is the result of Franco-Congolese cooperation. It symbolizes the sustainability of a cooperation project, which after the departure of the aid workers, has gained national and international recognition. INRB is the largest Congolese project management office, with a dedicated team of more than 220 employees. It contributes to the development and implementation of strategies to address the management of viral, epidemic, infectious, and parasitic diseases and supports consortia through knowledge transfer and training activities for local teams with a view to strengthening their skills.
