Management and Leadership Development
Global Efforts
USAID has spearheaded efforts to identify and publicize
effective management practices, new technologies,
and other program skills for developing country professionals.
Management problem-solving tools and other materials
are now available on the Internet and computerized
models have been developed to project training needs,
manage logistics and supplies, and train communications
specialists and service providers. USAID designs innovative
programs to build the capacity of local institutions
to manage high quality family planning programs. Areas of assistance include leadership
development, organizational structure development,
human resource management, strategic planning, financial
management, management information systems, electronic
resource development, and health sector reform.
