Cohesive, high-functioning health care organizations require leaders equipped with the tools to tackle complex delivery challenges and create impactful solutions. The Global Health Delivery Leadership Program (GHDLP) helps health program managers and executives to realize their full leadership potential. Through a dynamic and immersive learning experience, participants gain the skills and insights needed to develop and manage high-value, equitable health programs. 

Developed in collaboration with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, GHDLP is a certificate course for emerging leaders and technical experts in Ministries of Health and non-governmental and civil society organizations. The program combines sessions offering foundational skills in management and leadership with case-based and field learning that explore real-world delivery challenges and innovative solutions, equipping learners with the skills they need to deliver value-based health programs in their own context. After an intensive two-week session on campus, participants work in country teams to complete a six-month project implementation period, with guidance and support from a mentor. 

Eligibility

GHDLP is designed for emerging leaders and technical experts working as program managers, directors, or executives in Ministries of Health and non-governmental organizations. Participants should oversee both people and programs, and demonstrate a commitment to global health equity. 

Requirements for GHDLP participation are as follows:

• Global Fund grantees (Primary or Sub-recipients)
• Must be available for the two-week residency and three-day convening in Rwanda
• Global Fund Fund Portfolio Managers (FPM) must give final approval

Given the team-based nature of the GHDLP, preference will be given to those who apply as country team (2-6 people).
