The first francophone africa online master degree course in health promotion: Key features and perspectives

By David Houéto

Africa faces particular challenges in delivering health promotion interventions that will make a difference to people's lives and address huge health challenges of communicable and noncommunicable disease. In that region, there is a lack of an established human resource for health promotion with a lack of training and career progression institutions in that field. Francophone countries are more affected by this lack of competent human resources in health promotion. This chapter describes an online Master degree course in Francophone Africa started in collaboration with some other training institutions and professional associations in health promotion. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.
