Global Health Leadership Accelerator

A stimulating, intensive two-week leadership training, in the company of some of the brightest minds and most accomplished practitioners in public health

Global Health Leadership Accelerator

The Leadership Accelerator is the second generation of the acclaimed William H. Gates Sr. Institute for Population and Reproductive Health Summer Institute in Reproductive Health and Development, which trained close to 600 mid-career professionals from 71 countries in two- to three-week courses between 1999 and 2014. Attendees hailed from academia, research centers, donors, governments, and NGOs, and were selected for their promise as leaders in global health. Graduates of the Summer Institutes have become government ministers, policy leaders, CEOs of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), parliamentarians, leading researchers and advocates, and even a head of state.

The new Leadership Accelerator will engage mid-career policy-makers, program managers, advocates and academicians who exhibit exceptional promise and potential for leadership and achievement in global health.
