Consortium for Universities of Global Health in Collaboration, with the Canadian Network for NTDs
Virtual Panel Discussion
TOPIC: Research and Action to End Neglected Tropical Diseases
February 10, 2023: 1:00 pm-2:30 pm ET
There are 20 Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) that affect 1.7 billion people, one billion of which are children.
Most are poor and live in tropical environments. 170,000 people die from these diseases every year, but many more
suffer from severe pain and long-term disability. This has profound health, social, and economic consequences for
the individual and the family. However, there is hope. They can be eliminated, and 47 countries have eliminated at
least one NTD. Treating these diseases is a public health best buy and is one of the most important actions that can improve a childs ability to learn.
Hear from, and pose questions to, this outstanding panel of global experts who will share what we can do to prevent,
treat and eliminate these illnesses that affect some of the worlds most under-resourced communities.

Academic careers are unique
2023-01-17 10:00 UTC
Academic careers – what are the keys to success?” on 17 January 2023 at 10am (GMT)
REGISTER NOW
Academic careers are unique. You’re expected to serve your students, conduct high-quality research and to build an international reputation for your scholarship. The job requires years of education; writing, speaking and teamworking skills; data and tech literacy; curiosity and creativity; and time commitments outside of the typical 9 to 5.
There is no one path to career success in academia, but there are lessons that can be learned from others who have gone before you – or might even be working alongside you.
In this webinar, chaired by THE Campus editor Sara Custer, we will answer questions about academic careers in several countries and offer advice on:
• Salary negotiation
• Networking
• Workload management for early career academics
• Choosing the right supervisor
Even if you aren’t at the beginning of your career, this discussion will help you think about how you are supporting the early career academics in your department.

Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on implementation research (IR)
2022-11-14 - 2022-12-23
Dear Students & Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to participate in the free "Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on
implementation research (IR)", which will take place from November 14 through December 23, 2022.
Introduction to the course:
IR is important for designing strategies or solutions to overcome bottlenecks that prevent proven and
innovative public health interventions from reaching the people who need them. This ensures that these
interventions are used in a manner that results in the outcome for which they were intended.
This 6-week MOOC is an in-depth, online training program taught by leading experts in the field for
public health students and researchers/academics, policymakers, managers of disease control programs,
and other health professionals.
The MOOC focuses on core concepts and how to design and evaluate solid IR projects to improve
control of infectious diseases of poverty and produce better population health outcomes.
This MOOC session is organized by the research team from the University Malaya, UNU-IIGH, and IHSR
known as the TDR Regional Training Centre for Implementation Research in the Western Pacific Region
(RTC-IR-WPR).
Course objective:
The objective of the course is to build capacity in how to identify the challenges of various health
settings, assess the appropriateness of existing strategies, and develop new interventions and strategies
by working with communities and stakeholders.
Learning outcomes:
Experts guide participants through the core concepts of IR, including modules that address how to:
 Identify the challenges of various health settings;
 Assess the appropriateness of existing disease control strategies;
 Develop new interventions and strategies by working with communities and stakeholders;
 Specify IR questions;
 Design rigorous research projects. This includes how to identify IR outcomes, evaluate
effectiveness, and make plans to scale up;
 implementation in real-life settings.
By the end of the course, it is anticipated that you will be able to:
 design your own implementation research projects;
 critically evaluate and use the evidence produced by other implementation research projects;
 commission robustly designed implementation research projects
with the ultimate goal of enhancing the evidence base of effective ways to improve the health of the
populations we serve.
How to register:
Please register by 11th November 2022 to confirm your place. The registration works on a first-come,
first-served basis. To register, please click on this link: https://forms.office.com/r/ySBV9qgK0B
A confirmation email will be sent before the start of the course with details on how to enroll. A
certificate will be issued to all participants by the end of the MOOC.

The Lancet Commission on Gender and Global Health
2022-10-27 08:00 - 09:00 UTC
Dear Kesmonds International University,
The Lancet Commission on Gender and Global Health https://genderandhealthcommission.org/ in partnership with the Activist Education & Development Centre, The Rev. M.S. Lugongolo Foundation, Young Women’s Leadership Institute http://aedc.org.za/, and Zamara Foundation https://zamarafoundation.org/co-present Grassroots Activism at the Intersection of Gender and Health – coming to you live this Thursday the 27th, 8-9AM UTC.
Despite significant strides within the realm of gender and health, recent events have proven that progress is not only at risk of stalling, but of being undone entirely. Current models of working, be they siloed, top-down, or otherwise exclusive, are not fit for purpose and must be reconsidered. Against this backdrop, the call to heed contextual factors has been renewed, and reinvigorated by conversations looking beyond 2030 which remind us that change must be led by and work for the next generation(s). This webinar seeks to not just platform, but center, the crucial youth voices which are all too often silenced or sidelined in conversations about the change we need, promising practices emerging from the work of community-based organisations, and potential ways forward for a better future in gender and health.
This one-hour conversation will feature the Activist Education & Development Centre, The Rev. M.S. Lugongolo Foundation, Young Women’s Leadership Institute, and Zamara Foundation, all of which are youth-led feminist organisations driving change at the local and national levels in Kenya and South Africa. Together, they comprise the four Changemakers which have engaged in a journey of mutual learning with the Commission over the past nine months, shedding light on new ideas for and pathways to change at the intersection of gender and health. Over the course of this one-hour conversation moderated by Secretariat lead Emma Rhule, our partners will explore discussion topics relevant to their next steps both individually as organisations and collectively as a movement. The four organisations will be represented by:
Jessica Booysen, Mentor – Activist Education & Development Centre
Lucy Kombe, Program Officer – Zamara Foundation
Mawande Lugongolo, Programs Manager – The Rev. M.S. Lugongolo Foundation
Melvine Obola, Digital Advocacy Associate – Young Women’s Leadership Institute

WEBINAR INVITATION: In Conversation With Renu Khanna | Perspectives and Initiatives of Young People in All Their Diversity
2022-10-06 06:00 - 07:30 UTC
Dear Colleague,

The Lancet Commission on Gender and Global Health in partnership with ARROW and SAHAJ co-presents Perspectives and Initiatives of Young People in All Their Diversity.

Leaving no one behind (LNOB) is a promise of the transformative agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This means that patterns of exclusion, structural factors, and unequal power relations that produce and reproduce inequalities over generations have to be addressed in order to move towards formal and substantive equality for all groups in society. In addition to identifying who is being excluded or discriminated against and who is experiencing multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and inequalities through improved and disaggregated data systems, LNOB also requires meaningful participation of those ‘left behind’, including the most marginalised, in visualising ‘sustainable development’ and planning and review processes.

One such group that must be considered amongst the ‘left behind’ is young people. With young people – adolescents aged 11 to 18 years and youth aged 15 to 24 years – accounting for one-fourth of the world’s population, there is growing recognition of their potential as stakeholders in their own development. Meaningful engagement with factors that affect their wellbeing is considered a fundamental right of adolescents and young people. It is also being recognised that adolescents and young people are not a homogenous group. There exists within this demographic cohort young people with diverse forms of marginalisations and exclusions and diverse needs and concerns.

This webinar is part of an endeavour to increase visibility surrounding the issues of excluded groups so that the global health community can begin to address these concerns. In this webinar, we hope to hear from young people representing diverse excluded groups what their issues and concerns are, and how policy makers and programme managers can address them.

Introduction
As the voice of education in Africa and a key network of Education Ministries, the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) plays a significant role in the education space as a convenor, knowledge creator, and forum for policy dialogue. ADEA sees its impact in African countries that are empowered to develop education and training systems that respond to their emergent needs and drive Africa’s sustainable socio-economic transformation. Two strategic pillars underpin the implementation of the ADEA Strategic Plan 2028-2022: (1) the Continental Education Platform and (2) the country-based Advisory and Execution Support Services. Both pillars are aligned to the African Union’s Continental Education Strategy for Africa 2016-2025 (CESA 16-25) and the Sustainable Development Goal No. 4 on Education (SDG4).
