This is done based on researched data. The MDI Act (2003) for example was a result of AMFIU\u2019s lobbying efforts. Recently, AMFIU actively participated developing the regulatory framework for tier 4 institutions.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_rtcl_gb_attr":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-24452","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amfiu.org.ug\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/24452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amfiu.org.ug\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amfiu.org.ug\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amfiu.org.ug\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amfiu.org.ug\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24452"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/amfiu.org.ug\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/24452\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24455,"href":"https:\/\/amfiu.org.ug\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/24452\/revisions\/24455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amfiu.org.ug\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
