The International Association for Quality Assurance in Pre-Tertiary and Higher Education (QAHE) is pleased to announce that New Community has successfully renewed its institutional accreditation with QAHE. This renewal reflects the organisation’s continued commitment to quality, professionalism, and institutional standards in public health and development training, as well as its ongoing alignment with QAHE’s expectations for accredited institutions.
New Community, based in Parakou, Benin, provides continuous training, research support, and professional networking for practitioners in public health, development, and humanitarian sectors, with a focus on strengthening capacity across Africa. The organisation offers specialised training programmes, facilitates communities of practice, and promotes evidence-informed approaches tailored to local contexts. The renewal process confirms that New Community continues to meet QAHE’s institutional quality-assurance framework, which reviews aspects such as programme design, delivery, learner support, and continuous improvement.
Institutional accreditation is a quality-assurance review of the provider as an organisation. It does not constitute authority to grant academic degrees or professional licences, does not replace recognition by national regulatory bodies, and does not automatically extend to every individual programme title. Prospective learners and partners are encouraged to verify the current listing and details on www.qahe.org.
QAHE congratulates New Community on the renewal of its institutional accreditation and looks forward to continuing the relationship.
