The African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) is an international non-profit, non-governmental organization that carries out high quality, policy-relevant research on population, health and education issues facing sub-Saharan Africa. Our goal is to generate evidence for meaningful action to improve the lives of all Africans.
APHRC engages in various research capacity strengthening initiatives, including those of its flagship program, the Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa (CARTA). CARTA is an Africa-based, Africa-led initiative that seeks to rebuild and strengthen the capacity of African universities to produce well-trained and skilled researchers and scholars in Africa by Africans. The program addresses an important challenge facing the African academy - the scarcity of a robust research and training capability to offer vibrant and sustained doctoral training necessary to attract, train and retain the continent's brightest minds.
CARTA seeks to assess how its training component can be adapted to a mix of virtual spaces and face-to-face interactions. The virtual learning space will complement existing or modified face-to-face learning and enable fellows and facilitators to interact beyond the physical space. The mix of virtual and face-to-face interactions should allow for delivery of the CARTA training curriculum in the most efficient and cost effective manner without sacrificing quality - providing protected time for the participants to be engaged in their own learning and facilitating networking and the formation of the cohort identity.
APHRC seeks to engage an expert to guide the adaption of virtual learning environments in the delivery of CARTA’s training component, with the view of extending the same to other capacity strengthening/training initiatives within the organization. The strategy and adaption of the virtual learning space should be completed within 6 months (3 months for Phase 1 and 3 months for Phase 2).
