External Review for UNITID Fellowship Training Program

Terms of Reference

Background

 
---------------------------
The University of Nairobi (UoN) in collaboration with the University of Washington (UW) has been supporting the Kenyan National HIV response by strengthening program capacity through a fellowship training program. 
The UoN in collaboration with UW through the Institute of Tropical and Infectious Diseases (UNITID) established the UNITID FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM in 2008 funded by the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) through the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 
The training focuses in three tracks:
 
1) HIV Science, Epidemiology and Program Management
 
2) Health Informatics
 
3) Health Economics

There are 2 main forms of the training offered by the program

a. Short courses:
Health care providers of various cadres are trained in courses which run for five to ten days. The courses provide trainees with specific skills that they can apply in day to day management of HIV care and prevention programs.

b. Fellowship training: This is a two year full time skills based training that equips trainees with broad skills required to manage large HIV programs. The training has several components

a. Didactic in class training: For 2 months in the first year all fellows receive classroom training on core courses in the University of Nairobi Campus. This training is by

UNITID faculty and invited resource persons. For 4 months spread through the first and second year fellows receive classroom training on specific tracks in small groups of 3‐5 fellows specializing in the same track. The training involves group discussions, site visits to selected implementation sites and assignments. This provides basic theoretical grounding of all fellows in the 3 track areas and advanced theoretical knowledge for fellows in their track of specialization.

b. Didactic web cast training: For 2 hours every week for 30 weeks fellows receive webcast lectures from the University of Washington faculty. This training involves extensive pre class reading and assignments. This enhances the basic theoretical rounding of all fellows in the 3 track areas

c. Attachment in host institutions: Fellows are posted to selected host institutions where they participate in activities of the host institution. While at the Host institution they are given mentors who mentor to help them learn from the host institution and a University supervisor to ensure that the hosting facilitates learning.

d. Project: In the 2nd year of training fellows carry out a funded project to build capacity of the host institution, gain experience in project implementation and apply concepts that they have been trained in. The project is developed by the fellow in consultation with their supervisor in UNITID and their mentor at the host institution.
