An important component of the Adapting
to Change Program consists of collaboration with regionally-based
partner institutions. These are selected in view of their potential
to adapt the core program learning materials to local needs, and
to achieve ‘multiplier effects’ in locally-based training. This
is a critical part of the program insofar as it aims to ‘regionalize’
the learning materials and help build centers of excellence in developing
parts of the world.
Below you will find links
to each of the regional training programs that have been or will
be offered in each region. For more information about training activities
within a region, please refer to the contact persons listed in that
region.

Pilot
Events:
Three training events held in 1998
in various locations were designed as pilot activities that helped
refine the curriculum for the Adapting
to Change Core Course in Population, Reproductive Health and
Health Sector Reform that was held for the first time in the fall
of 1999 in Washington, D.C.
Dhaka
Conference
The training activity "Asia's New Demographic Realities:
Do They Matter for Economic Growth?" was held 26-30 April
1998 in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Co-sponsored by the Economic Development
Institute (now the World Bank Institute) in collaboration with
the South-South Partnership in Population, Harvard Institute of
International Development and the United Nations Population Fund,
the one week course was attended by thirty-four participants from
nine Asian countries (Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Nepal,
Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam). The conference addressed
important issues such as Asia's population growth reates and the
related increases in resources for feeding, clothing, and housing
this population. Other issues presented were increased urbanization
and pollution, and rising pressure on the environment and natural
resources in developing countries in Asia. Please see the seven
papers for more information about the content of the Dhaka
Conference.
Costing
Conference
The costing conference was held 17-18 February 1999 in Washington,
D.C to address the financing and costs of reproductive health
services around the globe. The program included costing and setting
priorities, balancing the growing demand for services with the
use of scarce resources for reproductive health and family planning
programs, and case studies. The seven
papers highlight the issues of financing and costs of reproductive
health.
Nairobi
Conference
The Nairobi Learning Forum sponsored by the Economic Development
Institute (now the World Bank Institute) was held 21-25 September
1998 in Nairobi, Kenya to gather international practioners to
focus on the integration of reproductive health services within
the context of health sector reform and sector-wide development
efforts. Discussions concentrated on ways to design, cost and
implement reproductive health services within reforming health
systems in Africa. The forum also addressed HIV/AIDS, decentralization,
health sector reform, integration of reproductive health services
at various levels, managing integrated services, and public and
private roles in providing and financing reproductive health care.
Country case studies included The Gambia, Mali, Uganda, and Zambia.
