Resources
This course is designed to help participants be able to design and implement a Primary Health Care (PHC) project in low and middle income countries (LMICs). This will help you understand all the components of a project, but also to understand how these are packaged to respond to a donor agency's request for proposals, addressing the common donor stipulations. Designing a PHC project is a very common activity in international health. Even if your career will not be directing you to this activity, you will very likely be reviewing the proposals of others or writing requests for proposals (RFA), If you see these in your future, then this course will help you.
Provides students an opportunity to learn the components for developing a proposal for primary health care program. This includes elements of costing human resources, financial management, training and supervision, and other basic components of primary health care management. Students practice developing the typical components of a project proposal.
