Distance Learning Activities on New Agendas for Poverty Reduction 
Strategies: Integrating Gender and Health 

The Adapting to Change Learning Program is launching two eight-week 
distance learning (DL) courses titled New Agendas for Poverty Reduc-
tion Strategies: Integrating Gender and Health aimed at high level 
officials and policy makers working in national governments, local 
and international NGOs, international agencies, and academic institu-
tions. The course is highly recommended for government officials and 
others involved in developing Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers 
(PRSPs) for PRS. The DL courses will be offered once a week for four 
hours (one hour on-site off line, and three hours videoconferencing 
between multiple sites) and will use material directly relevant to 
sub-Saharan Africa. The first course will be offered in English in 
Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania and Uganda over eight weeks from 20 Febru-
ary to 10 April 2001. The second course will be offered in French in 
Benin, Guinea, Ivory Coast and Senegal from 23 April to 11 June 2001.
