ICUDDR and ISSUP invite you to attend our upcoming webinar on Developing the Addiction Workforce in Africa: Progress and Issues. The aim of this Webinar is to share the process of developing addiction education programs in Africa from needs assessment through implementation and connection with the workforce. As an introduction we will describe a proposed taxonomy of university addiction education programs. We will then describe implementation processes, identify challenges, reference the role of the ISSUP National Chapter and discuss how the challenges are being addressed. Successful program development in low resource countries can inform work force development in the rest of the world.
