University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), with the
assistance of faculty members from East African Universities.
The program is funded by Johnson and Johnson one of the most
admired companies in the world today, and is offered in
cooperation the African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF)
and the Global Business School Network (GBSN). Participants who
attend all the sessions and complete the program successfully

California. There is no participant fee for this program.
