THET

Our Programmes

At present, THET’s own programme work is focused in Ethiopia, Somaliland and Zambia.

Somaliland – THET began working in Somaliland in 2000 after establishing the Kings/THET/Somaliland Partnership. The Link has focussed on training staff to improve standards of care and providing academic support to the medical school curriculum. Work soon expanded to include health institutions, professional associations, regional health authorities and the Ministry of Health and Labour. Read more about our programme work in Somaliland.

Ethiopia - THET has worked in Ethiopia for 20 years, supporting skills development of frontline health workers. Programmes have included care of chronic disease in the community and support to health facilities. We collaborate with the Ethiopian Ministry of Health and regional officials to ensure our work supports national health priorities and the development of Health Links to deliver vital training to frontline health personnel.

Zambia - THET has been appointed the management agent for a project aimed at strengthening the capacity of Zambia health training institutions to train health workers. This is funded by the Department for International Development, but has had significant support from the Department of Health who provided support for the initial scoping of the proposal.

International Health Link Funding Scheme (IHLFS) - The IHLFS is a 3-year scheme that provides grants, information and support to Health Links. Funded by the UK Department for International Development (DfID) and the Department of Health (DH), it is jointly managed by THET and the British Council. The Scheme makes £1.25 million available to support the work of Health Links each year. The primary purpose of the Scheme is to build the capacity of developing country health services.
