The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Capacity Building Initiatives through the Makerere University School of Public Health Fellowship Program was initiated in 2002 with the two-year Long-term Fellowship.

The purpose of the long-term Fellowship is to enhance program leadership and management capacity for health-related programs through hands-on training of individuals (long-term Fellows). The program which initially focused on building leadership capacity for management of HIV programs (2002-2010) expanded the scope in 2011 to include other health priorities (e.g. Malaria, Tuberculosis, Maternal and Child Health, Informatics, among others). 107 Fellows have been trained since 2002, including 13 who graduated on 17th December, 2014.

In 2008, the program initiated the 8-months work-based, modular training dubbed the Medium-term Fellowship. The Medium-term Fellowship is aimed at building institutional capacity in technical areas, including Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) and continuous quality improvement (CQI) for health programs. 207 Fellows have been trained since 2008, including 40 Fellows who completed in December 2014 and will graduate this month January 2015. This year, the Medium-term Fellowship will start another capacity building program for district health managers.

The program has trained more than 2000 health managers through various short courses e.g. Leadership/management, Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), Quality improvement, Grants writing, Scientific writing, among others. Future plans of the program include developing a comprehensive national capacity building program that responds to the national health capacity building needs at district and national level and providing additional support to graduate programs within the School of Public Health, College of Health Sciences (CHS), to enhance quality of the graduates.
