Sudan

The PLP, in collaboration with Health Alliance International (a UW-affiliated NGO), is building a partnership with the Sudan federal MOH and its research and training institute, the Public Health Institute (PHI), to build health policy and leadership development capacity.

The first component of this initiative will be a leadership/management training program for district health care professionals in Blue Nile State (BNS). The first phase of this program will be a week-long intensive workshop in early February 2008, followed by three months of mentored "practice" in participants' work sites, and then a second debriefing workshop. Mentors will be recruited from among Fellows of the PLP and other leadership training programs, PHI faculty, MOH leadership, and elsewhere. The Blue Nile training is intended to be a pilot of what will then be scaled up into a nationwide program to strengthen the leadership and management capacity of district health units. Financial support for the pilot training is provided by WHO, federal MOH, and the PLP.

Blue Nile State Leadership/Management Training Part I Summary

A second component of the Sudan initiative will involve work with PHI faculty and staff to strengthen the leadership content of its MPH curriculum and to enhance its ability to conduct policy research and to use research findings to inform policy decisions. We are also exploring the development of a leadership development program aimed at state MOH staff, in conjunction with the federal MOH, World Bank, and a partner university in Australia.
