Three-year regional prototype pre-service competency-based midwifery curriculum (2016)

Overview

These Regional prototype curricula for nursing and midwifery education and training are, in part, a step towards creating a means for implementing the World Health Assembly (WHA) resolutions(the most recent being WHA 64.7, 2011) of regional interest and the global and regional strategic directions on strengthening the contribution of nursing and midwifery to health systems development. The curricula are also consistent with the “Roadmap for scaling up the human resources for health for improved health service delivery in the Africa region 2012-2025” adopted at the 62nd Session of the Regional Committee for African Health Ministers held in 2012. One of the six strategic areas in the road map is the scaling up of education and training of health workers.
