We are now accepting expressions of interest for the IS4NCDs training programme in implementation science applied to non-communicable disease care. The Core Modules pilot is scheduled to begin in the first week of October 2026.
The Training is Fully Funded, No Course Fees
Valued at ZAR 6,000 each, the modules are fully funded; there are no course fees for the pilot phase. Please note that the funding does not cover travel, accommodation, or other costs associated with participation. These costs are not included, so you’ll need to budget for them separately
Who This Is For
The training is intended primarily for professionals in public health, internal medicine, and primary care, though other relevant applicants are considered. Applicants across sub-Saharan Africa are welcome to submit an Expression of Interest.
How the Core Modules Pilot Works
As outlined in our earlier announcement, the pilot runs across three modules (dates are tentative and subject to change):
- Fundamentals of Implementation Science, 5-9 October 2026
- NCD Epidemiology, Determinants of Health & Implementation, 26-30 October 2026
- Designing, Monitoring & Evaluating Implementation Programmes, 2-6 November 2026
Training will be delivered via a hybrid model streamed simultaneously into classrooms at Copperbelt University, the University of Zambia, Stellenbosch University, and the University of the Witwatersrand, with in-person, team-based practical work facilitated locally at each site.
