USAID's MEASURE Evaluation Project is pleased to announce that the School of Health Systems and Public Health (SHSPH) at the University of Pretoria in South Africa is currently accepting applications for the 2012- 2013 Master of Public Health Degree Program.

The MEASURE Evaluation project has been collaborating with University of Pretoria to offer a monitoring and evaluation concentration in this 18-month Master’s program in order to increase the capacity for monitoring and evaluating population, health and nutrition programs.  Taught in English, it is geared toward professionals in developing countries of the Africa region.

The application deadline is June 30, 2011, and classes begin January 2012.

A limited number of MEASURE Evaluation fellowships are available to qualified students from USAID- assisted countries.

Please find a brochure and application materials attached. This announcement is not only intended to serve as a means of informing you of the availability of the program, but also to ask for referrals of applicants. There may be promising employees working in monitoring and evaluation of PHN programs who would be able to increase their contributions to this field in your country by enhancing their M&E skills by attending this graduate level training.  We would appreciate your forwarding this announcement to potential applicants.
