In collaboration with Sub-Saharan African business
schools, development partners and international experts, GBSN will coordinate a
3-day design workshop that will work towards the development of two new training
programs in the field of health management and agribusiness. This workshop will
focus on the management issues common to both health and agribusiness and how
to effectively leverage the multi-disciplinary, practical approach of business
schools to better serve these two sectors. As a result of bringing these actors
together, GBSN will facilitate the creation of two new consortia of schools,
which will have the collective resources to seek external partners, raise
necessary funding, and develop a shared curriculum of international quality to
be adapted for each school’s agribusiness and health markets. Once the workshop
lays the foundation, the new consortia will develop learning platforms for each
sector and subsequently oversee the implementation of the newly developed management
programs on an initial pilot basis. During this time the schools will have an opportunity
to test the markets and revise the newly established programs accordingly while
also extending the programs to include additional local and international partners.
