The Powered by Health Initiative (PBHI) proudly announces the commencement of its highly anticipated Power-Packed Webinar Series, an expert-led, certificate-bearing learning programme designed to enhance institutional capacity, professional practice, and policy engagement in public health systems across Africa and the Global South.
This knowledge development initiative represents a strategic investment in workforce transformation and systems resilience. It offers a structured pathway for practitioners, health leaders, and programme designers to build technical proficiency and contextual fluency in core thematic areas of health care delivery.
Thematic Focus Areas Include:
Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) and Environmental Health
Healthcare Supply Chain Management
Maternal and Child Health Services
Community Engagement and Health Education
Each thematic track functions as a modular, stand-alone unit, grounded in practice-based theory, case analyses, and implementation science. Participants who successfully engage with the full content of a selected module will be awarded a digital Certificate of Completion, signifying advanced competency in the subject area.
“This series was developed to address persistent translation gaps between policy, service delivery, and measurable impact,” stated Eloho B. Obukohwo, Convener at PBHI. “Our goal is to cultivate professionals who not only know better but who are equipped to lead structural change, drive inclusive practice, and deliver context-specific results.”
