AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Eligible applicants  Eligible applicants that can apply for this funding opportunity appear below:   &amp;#9679; University of Malawi, College of Medicine     The College of Medicine is the only college in the University of Malawi system accredited to award medical degrees and, therefore, perfectly fits as host institution for the leadership development and management capacity building program for public health managers across all levels.  The college has the requisite faculty, administrative structure, and physical infrastructure to accommodate this program.  The college was established in 1992.  By the end of 2007, the college graduated over 311 qualified doctors.     In 2003, the Community Health Department of the College of Medicine started a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree program.

Description: The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to develop leadership and management capacity among middle and senior public health program managers. This should help strengthen the health care system as Malawi embarks on a national effort to expand HIV prevention, treatment, and care in the country. This is particularly important as Malawi plans to expand these services to the Districts through decentralization of program planning, implementation, and evaluation.
