The African Union and the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a Call to Action in 2022 for Africa's New Public Health Order that underscored the need for increased capacity in the public health workforce. Additional domestic and global investments in public health workforce development are central to achieving the aspirations of Agenda 2063 of the African Union, which aims to build and accelerate the implementation of continental frameworks for equitable, people-centred growth and development. Recognising the crucial role of higher education and research, we assessed the capabilities of public health doctoral training in schools and programmes of public health in Africa across three conceptual components: instructional, institutional, and external. Six inter-related and actionable recommendations were derived to advance doctoral training, research, and practice capacity within and between universities. These can be achieved through equitable partnerships between universities, research centres, and national, regional, and global public health institutions.
2022 年，非洲联盟和非洲疾病控制与预防中心发布了一项行动呼吁，呼吁建立非洲新的公共卫生秩序，强调需要加强公共卫生人员队伍的能力。增加对公共卫生人员队伍发展的国内和全球投资，是实现非洲联盟 2063 年议程的愿望的核心，该议程旨在建立和加速实施公平、以人为本的大陆框架，促进增长和发展。我们认识到高等教育和研究的关键作用，评估了非洲学校和公共卫生计划中公共卫生博士培训的能力，分为三个概念性组成部分：教学、机构和外部。得出了六项相互关联和可操作的建议，以推进大学内部和大学之间的博士培训、研究和实践能力。这可以通过大学、研究中心以及国家、区域和全球公共卫生机构之间的公平伙伴关系来实现。
