Global Heating and Health Public Engagement Programme (G2H-PEP)

Critical to realizing APHRC’s vision of transforming lives in Africa through research is public engagement with research and health concepts.

We are submitting this Development Grant to facilitate the preparation of the Transformation pilot grant for which the team has been invited to apply.

During the development, a mix of senior and junior staff from APHRC will work with expert consultants and engage stakeholders in the area of Global Heating and its impact on Health to develop the plan for fellowship support and training program for The Global Heating and Health Public Engagement Programme (G2H-PEP).

The pilot of this Leadership Transformation Programme will produce a cohort of fellows who will have an extended network of contacts working on public engagement, and will have gained leadership skills and tools to ensure their wellbeing and resilience while developing as leaders in a living system.

The overall objective of the program will be to produce a network of public engagement fellows interested in global heating and its health impacts.

The co-design process will ensure that the pilot cohort goes through a relevant training program and receives the support necessary for meaningful engagement with the public.
