Training opportunity
Context, Complexity, and Multi-sectoral Engagement in Implementation Science for NCDs
A two-and-a-half-day workshop, delivered in hybrid mode, equipping participants with theoretical and practical skills to analyse context, understand system complexity, and engage multiple sectors in the implementation of NCD interventions.
About this training
Part of the Implementation Science for Non-Communicable Diseases (IS4NCDs) project — a three-year initiative funded by the European Union to strengthen implementation science capacity for improving NCD prevention and care within health systems across sub-Saharan Africa.
The workshop covers context analysis, implementation science frameworks, complexity science, systems thinking, stakeholder and power analysis, multi-sectoral governance, adaptive implementation strategies, scale-up, sustainment, and evaluation of context in NCD programmes.
Delivery: interactive lectures, facilitated discussions, case studies, practical exercises, and group work. Participants will receive all workshop materials in soft-copy format.
These dates mark the main teaching activities; pre-reading and continued learning assignments may extend the course beyond these dates.
