USAID’s MEASURE Evaluation Population and Reproductive Health (PRH) Associate Award (http://e2.ma/click/kjvcg/kjrlgl/chsagb) is pleased to announce a Virtual Leadership Development Program (VLDP) for local health teams involved with monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of family planning and reproductive health activities in Anglophone countries (http://e2.ma/click/kjvcg/kjrlgl/s9sagb). Funded by USAID, the main goal of the VLDP is to strengthen individual and team leadership and management practices and to empower those involved in the collection, reporting, analysis, and use of health data, at all levels of an organization. Please note that this is not an M&E technical skills program. The VLDP will introduce leadership practices and skills (including critical thinking and problem solving). The VLDP will give teams the opportunity to use these skills in successfully addressing specific challenges identified by the teams themselves at the beginning of the program.

 

The VLDP for teams working on M&E of family planning and reproductive health programs is designed for both public and private sector organizations to strengthen leadership and management practices with a focus on M&E to improve performance and ultimately health outcomes. Experience delivering the VLDP in Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia has shown that participation in this leadership program strengthens individual leadership skills, improves team integration and performance, and improves team work climate.

 

OUTLINE OF THE PROGRAM

 

The VLDP is a 12-week Internet-based program hosted on the VLDP website of the MEASURE Evaluation project’s partner Management Sciences for Health (MSH). A highly interactive learning program, the VLDP consists of five learning modules, a supplementary participant workbook, and expert virtual facilitation from experienced leadership, M&E, and organizational development specialists  Program participants work in teams to identify key M&E challenges and begin to address these challenges with the continual support, feedback, and guidance of the facilitators and M&E experts. Our VLDP experiences in a range of regions show that participation in this program strengthens individual leadership skills, improves team integration and performance, and improves team work climate and the achievement of results.

 

This VLDP M&E will launch on January 21, 2013 and conclude on April 12, 2013. The deadline for applications is November 29, 2012. 

 

COST AND ELIGIBILITY

 

The VLDP is for M&E working groups/teams in both public and private sector organizations. The VLDP enrolls teams, not individuals. Teams should be working to address an M&E goal related to FP/RH. Team size may vary between 4 and 10 people, all of whom should be located in the same place, preferably in the same building. Teams must be able to meet face-to-face for several hours at least once during each of the five modules. The program is designed for teams that consistently work together on a routine basis on a common objective or goal and that can commit fully to the program requirements listed above and in the attached application. 

 

This VLDP is being offered free of charge to qualified teams. The cost of this program is being supported by USAID. All qualified applications will be considered, with applications from public sector health agencies and local NGOs especially encouraged.

 

This announcement is not only intended to inform you of the program, but also to ask for referrals of candidates. There may be promising teams working in M&E in family planning and reproductive health programs that would be able to increase their contribution to this field in your country by enhancing their leadership skills through this program. We would appreciate it if you would forward this application to potential applicants.
