The Antigua and Barbuda National Accreditation Board (ABNAB) is intensifying efforts to strengthen the nation's quality assurance and accreditation systems through a series of training and preparation sessions designed to build institutional capacity and advance international recognition.
According to Antigua News Room, the initiative forms part of the Board's broader strategy to establish a modern, efficient accreditation framework capable of supporting standards development and quality assurance across Antigua and Barbuda.
A key component of the effort is the integration of digital technology into ABNAB's accreditation processes. The Board said the move is intended to improve transparency, efficiency and responsiveness, while creating a stronger framework for managing accreditation and quality assurance activities. Officials emphasized that digital transformation is essential to ensuring its systems remain capable of meeting evolving national and international requirements.
As part of the ongoing preparations, digital development consultant Kenlie Browne has joined accreditation consultant Perliter Walters-Gilliam and members of the ABNAB team in refining and strengthening the institution's accreditation processes. ABNAB described the collaboration as an important step toward modernizing the country's approach to standards, quality assurance and institutional development.
The Board said its focus extends beyond addressing immediate needs. Officials noted that ongoing efforts are designed to establish a sustainable foundation for future growth, keeping Antigua and Barbuda's accreditation systems aligned with international best practices while supporting broader national development goals.
ABNAB said it will continue to provide updates as work progresses on its accreditation and digital transformation initiatives.
