AMREF Training Programme for 2004
---------------------------------
I have the pleasure to introduce to you the AMREF training pro-
gramme for the year 2004. Our aim is to provide relevant, acces-
sible and cost-effective training of the highest quality that is
geared towards the promotion of solutions to African health and
socioeconomic problems.
On offer this year are a series of short courses and the one-
year Diploma in Community Health course as outlined in the pro-
gramme attached. The short courses are designed for middle and
senior management personnel working in public and private sec-
tors including NGOs, CBOs, religious organizations, donor agen-
cies and government ministries. However, you may wish to discuss
tailor-made programmes specifically to meet your own needs. We
would be happy to discuss this with you.
AMREF has been training health and health related professionals
through out Africa for over 46 years now and recognizes the fun-
damental role of training in sustainable development and has
given it a key role in its new corporate strategic plan. We have
a modern fully equipped Training Center along Lang'ata Road,
Nairobi opposite the Wilson Airport where most of the training
is conducted. Conference facilities are also on hire at the
Training Centre for your next conference.
In addition to training we also offer Consultancy Services to
governments in Africa primarily in the area of Health Training
(Human Resource Development in Health) and Research. Our Health
Learning Materials Unit produces relevant scholastic materials
for mid level care providers for the continent and beyond. We
currently have a HLM Kit comprising of 25 books for rural health
care workers. The AMREF Library too, is quite resourceful. It
holds the most up-to-date health related resource materials in
the region. It offers modern technology in information access,
information management and dissemination.
Please contact us if you need additional information. We look
forward to a further collaboration with you.
