5. Qualifications:

• The three years spent at the top of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Kinshasa have forged my personality. The daily experience is an excellent learning ground for leadership, human resource management, financial management and conflict. This function cannot be properly exercised without humility, modesty, consideration, openness and listening to the peers and collaborators that I have not stopped teaching and cultivating. These strengths have also been reinforced by several seminars and capacity-building workshops in human resource management lobbying and advocacy.
• The renewal of the elective office for the position of Vice Dean was the result of: efforts, respect, the academic calendar and the climate of serenity maintained with the academic, scientific and administrative bodies – without forgetting the students. Teamwork with other members of the Dean´s Office has contributed to the visibility and good governance of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Kinshasa.
• Since 2002, the long years of service in a large School of Public Health and Research Center have allowed me to acquire a great experience in teaching and especially in research.
• The deepening of theoretical knowledge of statistics, epidemiology, research methods and informatics was acquired through teaching activities. This theoretical knowledge was reinforced by ten years of practical implementation on the ground, in various quantitative and qualitative research carried out by the institution with the support of various donors and partners, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the United Nations, United Nations Development Fund (UNDP), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), WHO, Family Health International (FHI), Tulane University, Global Fund, UNICEF, World Bank, John Snow Incorporated, GAVI, etc.
• During these multiple research studies, I worked actively at all stages of the investigations, starting with being an investigator, a field supervisor, a controller, an assistant investigator, before being co-investigator and principal investigator in several researches and elaboration reports.
• I also conducted several studies to completion with the production of reports, and often supplemented by the production of strategic or operational plans, on behalf of various partners.
• My knowledge of computer science and bio-statistics is an important asset for the analysis of quantitative data. In fact, I have mastery of database management software, including Epi Info 6, Epi Info 2000 and Epi Data as well as quantitative data analysis software such as SPSS, NCSS, not to mention the QSR N6 for qualitative analysis. This knowledge in computer science is used daily in the analyses of the research carried out, as statistician analyst and data manager within the department of epidemiology and bio-statistics where I have been practicing since 2002.
