Bangkok, Thailand

The World Bank Institute, is

pleased to announce the next offering of the Global

Course: "Achieving the Millennium Development Goals:

Poverty Reduction, Reproductive Health and Health

Sector Reform" which will be held from August 20-31,

2007 in Bangkok, Thailand.

The course explores key elements in designing

efficient, equitable and financially sustainable

population policies and reproductive health programmes

in the context of health sector reform and Millennium

Development Goals. After attending the course,

participants learn to recognise how the changing

international and national policy environments affect

their work in population and reproductive health and to

identify the linkages among health, gender and poverty.

This two-week course is designed for staff from

governments, donor agencies, international

organisations, the World Bank and non-governmental

organisations (NGOs) working in the health sector. In

addition, it targets staff from training and research

institutions, as well as academics and researchers

working in the areas of health, public administration

and social sector reform.

This face-to-face course is based on the use of highly

interactive participatory training techniques. It will

be held at the Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok,

Thailand. The course is extremely intensive and

consists of presentations, readings, case examples and

group work. The working language of the course is

English and participants are expected to have excellent

English language skills.

Participants will be charged a course fee of US$2,000

and should expect to incur additional expenses locally

of US$1,000 to US$1,200 including accommodation and

meals. Participants are also responsible for purchasing

their own airline tickets.
