Welcome to the Centre for Gender Equity

Описание: Established in 2020, UGHE’s Centre for Gender Equity aims to become a centre of excellence in gender mainstreaming and transformative practices in global health. The Centre for Gender Equity seeks to achieve this by targeting the overall operation of UGHE in the academic, research and community development engagements, and organizational practices and partnerships.

Through UGHE’s flagship Masters of Science in Global Delivery (MGHD) Program, the Centre offers an online option providing specialized skills in Gender, Sexual and Reproductive Health (GSRH) delivery, and the tools with which to influence GSRH through innovation, advocacy, leadership and management. The Centre has collaborated with over a dozen CSO’s, NGOs, and public and private institutions, both locally and internationally based, and supports students to finalize their research topics and conduct research that furthers their SRHR work.

In addition to its Masters degree, the Centre has developed and launched an executive education program in Maternal and Child Health Leadership, bringing together leaders from different countries in Africa. Due to its crosscutting role, the Center also provides research support and guidance on a range of global health issues to different departments at UGHE.

Through its academic, research, communal and organizational activities, the Centre continues its work towards achieving a more equitable and fair access to quality health care by all minority groups.
