Course brochure (PDF, 1.82Mb) | Apply online New Update: We are pleased to announce the next offering of the Global Course: "Achieving the Millennium Development Goals: Poverty Reduction, Reproductive Health and Health Sector Reform" which will be held from 16-27 March, 2009 in Bangkok, Thailand. Kindly note, this is the new postponed date for the course that was to be offered in September 2008. That course had to be postponed due to a political crisis in Thailand that arose just days before the course was to begin. The course explores key elements in designing efficient, equitable and financially sustainable population policies and reproductive health programs in the context of health sector reform and Millennium Development Goals. After attending the course, participants will learn to recognize how the changing international and national policy environments affect their work in population and reproductive health and to identify the linkages among health, gender and poverty. This two-week course is designed for staff from governments, donor agencies, international organizations, the World Bank, and NGOs working in the health sector. In addition, it targets staff from training and research institutions, as well as academics and researchers working in the areas of health, public administration and social sector reform. The course is a face-to-face learning event and will be held at the Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand. The sessions will consist of presentations, readings, case studies and group work. Participants must have a good working knowledge of English to participate. Participants will be charged a course fee of $2,000 and should expect to incur additional expenses locally of $1,500 including accommodation and meals. The Asia Hotel has quoted rates of THB 2,100 (single room) and THB 2,300 (twin room) or $63 and $69 respectively.
Participants are also responsible for purchasing their own airline tickets.
