Introduction
Public health projects often appear well designed at the proposal stage but face significant challenges during implementation. Issues in planning, budgeting, team coordination, monitoring, and stakeholder management can delay progress and weaken impact.
This 16-hour long professional training is designed to equip participants with practical project management skills required to successfully plan, implement, and monitor public health programmes and research initiatives.
The course is tailored for early to mid-level professionals working in research, NGOs, development programmes, and healthcare settings.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Translate public health ideas into structured, results-oriented project plans
