Public Health Foundation of India

The project aims to strengthen the capacity of public health education and training in India through innovative pedagogical strategies and evidence based knowledge building.

The project focuses on advancing Online and Blended Learning (OBL) capabilities across academic institutions. The initiative will also engage the Indian Institutes of Public Health (IIPHs) to develop and mentor a network of regional trainers capable of designing and implementing high-quality OBL courses in public health.

The project promotes a policy-relevant and evidence based-driven approach to support ongoing reforms in public health education. This includes developing customized blended learning modules for targeted health professionals and thus contributing to broader health system strengthening efforts.

A cross-cutting focus on gender sensitivity is embedded across all project activities, with the aim of mainstreaming gender considerations within public health academia and training environments.

This is a dynamic opportunity to contribute to national-level reforms, support digital transformation in public health education, and engage in impactful, equity-focused work at the intersection of education, research, and policy.
