The program has been designed by world-class management faculty from the prestigious University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and delivered in conjunction with instructors from African universities. The program is funded by Johnson & Johnson, one of the most admired companies in the world today, and is offered in cooperation with AMREF, The African Medical and Research Foundation, and GIMPA, The Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration.
