It is a practical exploration of public health across Africa and South Asia that builds the skills in leadership and in policy analysis and formulation that are meaningful for successful leadership in public health.

This is provided by leading experts at the Chatham House Centre on Global Health Security and the Leadership Academy of the African Union. The major requirement of the program is that fellows complete an independent leadership project, under virtual mentoring, while maintaining their jobs in their home countries. Fellows will be expected to undertake a project in one of the following areas:
Candidates must be in a fully paid position in public health, in either a private or public institution in Africa or South Asia, that permits a month’s absence for the foundation course training and time for the development of the project during the year.
