Purpose: The rise of non-communicable diseases, concurrent with infectious disease outbreaks poses a significant challenge to the Sudanese health system. To successfully address this challenge, we need qualified, expert, public health professionals. The purpose of this proposal is to strengthen public health education in Sudan through partnerships between leading academic institutions in the North and in Sudan. we will collaboratively develop and teach an innovative new curriculum focused on advanced applied public health methods to address the need for implementing evidence-based interventions to improve health-related practice and policy. Approach: we establish an engaged partnership between faculty at the yale school of Public Health (one of the leading institutions in implementation science and applied public health in the Us and world-wide) with key universities in Sudan, the Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Higher Education. Using a stakeholder engaged approach, we develop a curriculum that builds on existing public health education curricula at partner Sudanese institutions. This will strengthen capacity specifically in applied public health - translating knowledge into practice and policy and evaluating its impact. Added value: The public health profession is often neglected by low-and-middle- income countries who rely on foreign expertise for guidance. This is the first comprehensive and equi- table proposal to strengthen the capacity within Sudan for public health - the fundamental foundationfor a strong, resilient and sustainable health system to improve the health of all in Sudan. practical Implications: If successful, we will enhance knowledge/skills of participating faculty (short-term), build sustained institutional capacity for public health workforce development (medium-term), and ultimately improve health and well-being of the Sudanese people (long-term). our value proposition is that genuinebidirectional learning/collaboration will be key to a successful and sustainable initiative. we will alsocreate a model of collaboration that can be extended to additional institutions in Sudan.
