Abstract

USHEPiA was launched in 1996 and currently includes the Universities of Dar es Salaam, Cape Town, Ghana, Nairobi, Zimbabwe and Makerere University. The project has awarded over 80 fellowships, generated over 11 cohorts and assisted nearly 60 participants to achieve their goal of completing postgraduate degrees. The ultimate goal of USHEPiA is to build on existing potential to develop a network of African researchers capable of addressing the developmental requirements of Sub-Saharan Africa. This book is a small sample of the breadth of knowledges generated by fellows.
