About the Award: The Centre on Global Health Security at Chatham House seeks to help leaders around the world reach well-informed decisions that improve global health security. It does so by conducting independent research and analysis and facilitating dialogue between the international affairs and public health communities. We are now looking for fellows for the next cohort of the Global Health Leaders Fellowship. We would love to hear from you if you think this could be you.
This is an outstanding opportunity to expand your professional and personal horizons and develop the knowledge and insight to effect change in your region. It is a practical exploration of public health across Africa and South Asia that builds the skills in leadership and in policy analysis and formulation that are meaningful for successful leadership in public health.
The fellowship is available to Africans who have a background in mid-level or senior public health management. We are looking for fellows who want to strengthen their public health leadership skills and knowledge in order to effect real and lasting change.
