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.
