The Countdown 2030 for Women’s, Children’s, and Adolescents’ Health (CD2030) has launched in 2023 a Fellowship Program to strengthen research and analytical capacities for monitoring and tracking the progress of life-saving interventions for Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health and Nutrition (RMNCAH+N) in CD2030 collaborating countries in Africa. As part of the capacity strengthening process, the first training is happening from Aug 7 to 25, 2023 in Nairobi, Kenya.

For the first week of training, ICEH researcher Leonardo Ferreira with remote participation from Aluisio Barros conducted four sessions, divided into lectures and practical guided exercises, with the objective of introducing key concepts of equity in health, methods and tools for analyzing and visualizing equity-disaggregated data and reflections on interpretation, patterns and trajectories of health inequalities.
