Our teaching approach

Learn from real cases, leave with tools

Rooted in context

Case studies drawn from African programmes: national health development plans, DHIS2 reports, Global Fund and Gavi grants, and community health systems.

Practical above all

At least half of the time is spent on exercises using your own tools: logical framework, MEAL plan, database or a proposal currently being drafted.

Adapted to constraints

Free or open-source tools (KoboToolbox, ODK, QGIS, R), offline functionality and lightweight materials for low-bandwidth areas.

Measured

Pre- and post-training knowledge tests, participant evaluation of the course and a named certificate of attendance.
