Capacity Building in social health protection is essential to design sustainable and appropriate social health protection schemes, and support relevant health policies reforms.
Building the capacity of decision makers and practitioners in social health protection in the region is therefore essential to strengthen the efficiency and sustainability of health protection systems and ultimately support countries in their quest to reach Universal Health Coverage. CONNECT promotes both short and long term capacity building exercises.
Here are the key training programmes implemented as a CONNECT collaboration:
Master of Primary Heath Care Management (MPHM) and Social Health Protection (SHP), Thailand. Launched in August 2020, the one-year programme aims to address capacity-building needs for policy makers and practitioners through a strong partnership between Mahidol University, the ILO and CONNECT members.
ILO-International Training Center, Italy: Social Health Protection – Addressing inequities in health: learning on designing and implementing inclusive and universal social health protection systems, over 4 weeks through hybrid learning modalities, for practitioners and policy makers
Actuarial analysis for health and social protection: on-demand. The 5-day training session supports the efforts of social security institutions and the ILO to build up capacity within their institutions in the management and carrying out of different aspects of the actuarial valuation process and other areas where actuarial work is involved.
