MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE (MDI) PROGRAM FOR HEALTH CARE
ORGANISATIONS

This is a one-week intensive program to enhance the leadership and
management skills of program managers and leaders of Sub-Saharan African
organisations, governmental and non-governmental, that are devoted to
delivering health care services to underserved populations. The program has
been specifically designed to assist African ministries of health in
implementing their particular national health priorities. Nearly 600
participants from 22 African countries have already graduated from the
precursor to this program. The prior version of the MDI was focused solely
on HIV/AIDS. Starting with 2011, the program's new focus will be expanded
to health systems, generally, and will invite participation of those
involved in implementing national health priorities in the areas not only
of communicable diseases, of which HIV/AIDS is one, but also chronic
diseases. Cardiovascular disease and diabetes, in particular among chronic
diseases, will become increasingly responsible for the overall burden of
disease and for the accompanying financial burden for treatment in
sub-Saharan Africa.

The program has been designed by world-class management faculty from the
UCLA Anderson School of Management at the University of California at Los
Angeles (UCLA) and by leaders of the African Medical and Research
Foundation (AMREF). The MDI is delivered by instructors from UCLA, AMREF
and by outstanding faculty from other African universities, including the
Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), and the
Graduate School of Business at the University of Cape Town (UCT). The
program is funded by Johnson & Johnson, one of the most admired companies
in the world today. The language of instruction in all programs is
English.

The program will be held as follows:


For Southern African leaders in Cape Town, South Africa on 26 August - 1
September 2012

Application Deadline: 9 July 2012

For West African leaders, in Accra, Ghana on 2 - 8 September 2012

Scholarships:

The cost of the MDI program is US$ 4,000 per participant. All successful
applicants will be awarded scholarships by Johnson and Johnson.  These
scholarships cover the cost of tuition, training materials, accommodation
and meals.  Travel expenses, if required, will be borne by the participants
or their organisation.  Upon completion of this training, participants will
be required to apply the knowledge and skills gained to resolve a
management issue or obstacle in their organization.
