Third Adapting to Change Global Core Course
-------------------------------------------
10-27 September 2001
Washington, D.C, USA
The overall goal of the training is to improve population and repro-
ductive health outcomes in client countries by strengthening the
skills and capacity of key actors to make their population and repro-
ductive health programs more efficient, equitable and financially
sustainable. The course objectives are to increase participants':
* Understanding of how the changing international and national policy
environment impacts on their work in population and reproductive
health;
* Knowledge and skills that they will use to deliver population and
reproductive health services in their country in more efficient and
equitable ways;
* Strategic thinking and ability to ensure that health sector reforms
help rather than hinder improvements in population and reproductive
health outcomes in their countries; and
* Capacity to develop action plans that apply course material, knowl-
edge and tools to an issue they face currently in their work.
The course is designed for senior government officials, particularly
from ministries of Health, Education, Women's Affairs, Labor, Popula-
tion and Welfare, and Finance and/or Planning, as well as representa-
tives of NGOs, private sector organizations, the donor community, and
others working in the field of population, reproductive health and
health sector reform, including World Bank staff. The subsidized fee
for the three week course is US$ 2,100 and participants are expected
to cover the full cost of their travel, subsistence, and hotel ex-
penses.
