Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI) Request For Consultancy Services: Training & Digital Solutions Expert. Makerere University, Kampala Uganda, East Africa

The Makerere University Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI) Limited implemented a Gates Foundation training program dubbed “Principle of Management Excellence for Research training” PRIMER in francophone countries, namely, Mali, Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This training was delivered by content experts and experienced practitioners, not professionally trained experts. As such, limiting the quality of slide decks, which were largely fragmented with text rather than graphical and infographic elements that suit a mature audience. To effectively deliver a research training program, advanced, engaging, and efﬁcient tools are critical for fostering audience engagement and participation, and for learning and assessment in research management excellence. To achieve this, IDI seeks to hire an expert to:

design and deliver a set of integrated advanced slide decks combining text, visual learning materials (graphical and infographics) and case scenarios
develop a virtual bilingual community learning platform (VBCLP), i.e. with in-built French and English to engage alumni,
develop and automate a pre-course assessment system that potential trainees ﬁll out, and it automates results that are presented in statistical form for easy interpretation and decision making.
