Start of an Implementation Research Course in Bukavu
On 11 September 2017 the project «Connecting the Dots», an implementation research course, will be implemented in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The course teaches basics in implementation research and will serve the purpose of capacity building in fragile contexts. The project is a collaboration of Swiss TPH and the Université Catholique de Bukavu. The R. Geigy Foundation has significantly contributed to the project. In fragile states the provision of sufficient medical care for its people is often a challenge. Particularly in this environment the capacity building of local experts is highly relevant and needed. In close collaboration with the Université Catholique de Bukavu, a new implementation research course for young health professionals in Democratic Republic of Congo will kick-off on 11 September 2017.
