From September 21-23, 2009, MLI hosted the Negotiating Health Development Leadership Training in Kathmandu, Nepal for the senior team from the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP). Responding to a request for enhanced leadership skills from the MoHP, the workshop, facilitated by CMPartners, offered a set of tools and best-practices in negotiation, conflict management and effective communication. The facilitators emphasised the practical application of these tools in the everyday lives of the senior leadership at the MoHP.

Quality leadership: A prerequisite for development

The Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) is determined to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) by the stipulated deadline of 2015; and the Ministerial Leadership Initiative (MLI) for Global Health has joined hands with the Ministry to provide support in this endeavour.

The reception will feature presentations by the Ministers of Health from the five countries we are working in under the MLI - Ethiopia, Mali, Nepal, Senegal and Sierra Leone.
