Our open access health policy analysis course: now available in French!

HPA French graphic

The discipline of Health Policy and Systems Research – including teaching that reflects the principles and approach of this field – is unevenly developed around the world. Established HPSR practitioners have long known, and new entrants to the field soon learn, that language barriers are one of the major impediments to building networks, providing peer support and sharing materials.
Against this backdrop, it gives us great pleasure to announce that Health Policy and Policy Analysis – the oldest of the open access courses in the CHEPSAA portfolio, and one that students have consistently rated very highly over the years – is now available in French. The release of the French version of this course coincides with the 10th anniversary of its use in an open access format.

Report: Strengthening health policy and systems courses to support health leadership and management development

This report covers a joint RESYST-CHEPSAA workshop that was held in Johannesburg, South Africa, from 4-6 April 2018. It provides a record of the meeting, which can be useful to others who are thinking about developing their courses to make them more relevant to leaders and managers. It also contains other resources such as useful readings about leadership and management, and descriptions of some of the more interesting facilitation techniques used during the meeting.
