Part of GHI’s strategic objective is to foster leadership and increase the technical capacity from the MENA Region and other Global South Region; as such, GHI is launching its Volunteering Program (VP). GHI is dedicated to defining and addressing the global health agenda, especially the components relevant to the MENA region and other regions in the Global South through the design and implementation of innovative programs. Through its interdisciplinary approach, network of linkages and partnerships, GHI asserts a multidimensional strategy through different divisions to address global health challenges. This includes research and policy, services and outreach, as well as capacity building programs. GHI VP is designed for national and international volunteers that have the ambition to work and learn about Global Health challenges relevant to the MENA Region
