Be a part
To enable our students to apply their research skills, the MGHD program requires them to engage in practicum and research activities with Civil Society Organizations and other implementers working directly on SRHR.
While students engage in field work and research projects in the second semester, , the Centre for Gender Equity ensures the commitment and participation of host organizations from the first semester. The Centre does this by identifying relevant organizations, facilitating site visits and meetings, and securing the engagement of organizations working in SRHR. Students, through the support of their academic supervisors and preceptors, have worked and finalizated research studies within 12 local and international organizations.
