The formulation of this program curriculum springs from the conviction that the solution to the major health problems, both human and animal, comes from a multi-disciplinary approach and most of which need competences that can be provided through a sound Masters in Public Health. In general, it is a known fact that participation in the knowledge economy requires a new set of human skills. 3 However, in sub-Saharan Africa public health needs have continued to rise, but this burden has not been associated with a directly proportional response in human resource growth and development in most cases. The critical lack of requisite appropriate academic structures, as well as the ever-increasing brain drain, has incapacitated the fight against major public health problems and the development of key human capital necessary for this task is urgently needed. Developing countries have far too many challenges to deal with and so in order to address this particular need, there is a need for strong stakeholder and international support and co-operation. In this regard, the consensus is building on the fact that one way to achieve this is to increase human capacities and physical structures at the university level but in specialised fields such as Epidemiology. When this is done, it is expected that it will inevitably strengthen the research and research capacities of major national institutions which in turn are useful for policy development and implementation at the national level. One way to address training needs that has the potential to minimise the above-cited challenge is by introducing a Master of Public Health. The purpose of this draft MPH curriculum is to highlight proposed course structures and contents aimed to address the challenges indicated in the preceding section given global environmental dynamics in competency-based graduate education globally.
