Summary
Residents across all fields of medicine have increasingly become interested in global health activities. Residency programs are responding to this interest by increasing their offering of global / international health opportunities yet there is very little structured evaluation of curriculum. A number of barriers to establishing global health programs exist, they include obtaining permission from program directors/finding coverage for call shifts, as well as financial barriers, and faculty time. Millions of global health dollars are spent in capacity development interventions to strengthen the leadership and management skills of civil society and public health institutions. The USAID-funded Leadership, Management, and Governance Project commissioned an external assessment to examine if the leadership development program (LDP) and the institutional strengthening program (ISP) or their outcomes have been sustained. We defined sustainability as evidence that 1) an intervention has been sustained beyond the life of a project; or 2) the intended outcomes have been sustained beyond the life of a project
