In response to the urgent need to scale up access to antiretroviral therapy, the Global Nursing Education Partnership Initiative (GNCBP), a PEPFAR program administered by the U.S. Department of Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), was implemented from 2011 to 2018 by ICAP at Columbia University. Working closely together, HRSA and ICAP partnered with local nursing leaders and ministries of health to strengthen the nursing and midwifery workforce across 11 countries. This multi-country project, developed to address critical gaps in nursing education and training worked across six building blocks of health workforce strengthening: infrastructure improvement, curricula revision, clinical skills development, in-service training, faculty development and building partnerships for policy and regulation to increase the quality and quantity of the nursing and midwifery workforce. As a result, 13,387 nursing and midwifery students graduated from schools supported under GNCBP. A total of 5,554 nurses received critical in-service training and 4,886 faculty, clinical mentors and preceptors received training in key clinical care areas and modern teaching methodologies. ICAP completed 43 infrastructure enhancements to ensure environments conducive to learning and strengthened nursing leaders as best evidenced by the election and formation of Mozambique's first national nursing council and the NEPI Network. Going forward, efforts to strengthen nursing and midwifery can build on the results of the GNCBP project. Going forward, a new group of African nursing leaders are being supported to advocate for high quality patient-care led through inter-professional collaboration and participation in international efforts championing the critical role of nurses in achieving universal health coverage.
为了满足扩大获得抗逆转录病毒疗法的迫切需求，全球护理教育伙伴关系倡议（GNCBP）于 2011 年至 2018 年由哥伦比亚大学国际艾滋病政策中心（ICAP）实施，该倡议是美国卫生资源与服务管理局（HRSA）下属的一个“总统艾滋病紧急救援计划”（PEPFAR）项目。HRSA 和 ICAP 密切合作，与当地护理领导人和卫生部合作，在 11 个国家加强护理和助产劳动力。这个多国项目旨在解决护理教育和培训方面的关键差距，涵盖了卫生人力强化的六个构建模块：基础设施改善、课程修订、临床技能发展、在职培训、教师发展以及建立伙伴关系以制定政策和法规，以提高护理和助产劳动力的质量和数量。结果，有 13387 名护理和助产专业学生从 GNCBP 支持的学校毕业。共有 5554 名护士接受了关键在职培训，4886 名教师、临床导师和指导教师接受了关键临床护理领域和现代教学方法的培训。ICAP 完成了 43 项基础设施增强，以确保有利于学习的环境，并加强了护理领导者，莫桑比克首次选举和成立国家护理委员会以及新非洲护士倡议网络就是最好的证明。今后，将以 GNCBP 项目的成果为基础，努力加强护理和助产工作。今后，将支持一批新的非洲护理领导人，倡导通过跨专业合作和参与倡导护士在实现全民健康覆盖方面的关键作用的国际努力，提供高质量的患者护理。
