TRAINING

Training and capacity building of local health staff working in the last mile has been at the core of CUAMM’s mission since its foundation in 1950. It is crucial to increase competencies useful to be able to work in low-resource settings and provide primary healthcare at all levels of the local health system.

To strengthen the capacity of FBOs delivering health care services in Africa, CUAMM develops and provides training packages on different topics including healthcare facilities management, clinical aspects, project management, disaster preparedness and resource mobilization.

CUAMM directly engages the beneficiary of the trainings to understand their needs and develop training packages tailored to their context. Courses are provided both online and in-person and training are offered in different languages (e.g. English, Italian, French).

“I took part in the course and it has been useful for me because it allowed me to learn things I did not know and it helped me. I liked the training sessions focusing on the skills that I can immediately put into practice, such as better management of the register of expenses and budget planning”.
