Duty Stations: Kigali, Rwanda
Application deadline: Friday December 3, 2021
Background:
Established in 2005, the African Field Epidemiology Network (AFENET) is a not-for- profit,
networking alliance and service organization that brings together various field epidemiology
training programs (FETPs) in sub-Saharan Africa working side by side with Ministries of Health,
the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and regional and international partners.
FETPs are field- based trainings with participants spending 25% of the time in classrooms and
75% in the field providing public health services while acquiring core competencies in field
epidemiology. In order to address the need to improve field epidemiology capacity at all levels of
the health system, US CDC developed a three-tiered pyramid model for FETP implementation. At
the base of the pyramid is the 3-months Frontline FETP that targets public health workers at the
local level, the middle of the pyramid is the 9-months intermediate FETP for regional level health
workers and at the peak is the 2-years Advanced FETP for national level public health managers.
