ASPHER Executive Board Member and Faculty Consultant in ASPHER OSI Program Professor, Hebrew University-Hadassah Braun School of Public Health and Community Medicine, Jerusalem, Israel The Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region (ASPHER) Founded in 1966, ASPHER is an association with over seventy-two institutional members throughout the European region,1 dedicated to strengthening the role of public health through the training of public health professionals for both practice and research. In fulfilment of its mission, ASPHER directs its activities toward: • Assisting schools and university departments of Public Health to achieve their missions of professional and graduate education, research and service. • Building coalitions with other programs and public health organisations to increase public awareness, appreciation and support of public health.2 The Open Society Institute (OSI) Public Health Program The Open Society Institute's Public Health Program aims to promote health policies based on social inclusion, human rights, justice and scientific evidence. The Program works with civil society organisations within two fields: • Promoting the participation and interests of socially marginalised groups in public health policy; and • Fostering greater government accountability and transparency through civil society monitoring and advocacy, with a particular emphasis on HIV and AIDS Program areas focus on addressing the human rights and health needs of marginalised persons, facilitating access to health information, and advocating for a strong civil society role in public health policy and practice.

Such a workforce is essential to evaluate and respond to growing threats to population health, to address health inequalities between and within countries, and to develop and implement scientifically- based interventions in a timely and appropriate manner within the limits of available resources. Ensuring that such a workforce exists and functions effectively requires the development and/or expansion of Public Health training programmes and educational systems in each country, based on the country’s own needs but incorporating international best practices and norms. Yet some European countries still do not have Schools of Public Health, or have Public Health training programmes that do not incorporate many of the more modern tools of Public Health education and practice. This shortage of training capacity was felt particularly acutely in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries at the end of the 20th century, when population health deteriorated and the need for disease prevention and health promotion grew exponentially. The wide-reaching program funded by OSI and implemented by ASPHER described in this publication was a major developmental activity designed to respond to the region’s need for Public Health training capacity. This book documents the experiences and lessons from the thirteen-country project put forward by ASPHER and implemented by its members through twinning projects, on-site consultations, PEER Reviews, and faculty training and development. It includes information from parallel projects in other CEE and Central Asia countries funded by OSI in consultation with faculty from ASPHER member schools. It describes both new and sustainable institutions that continue to function, and it explains why other projects were less successful. Curricula and programme descriptions of individual projects are included. The OSI ASPHER program was implemented during the ASPHER presidencies of Professors Jose Martin Moreno, Roza Adany, and Charles Normand. The book was written during the presidency of Professor Anders Foldspang. Continuous monitoring and coordination was provided by Julien Goodman as Program Manager, with support by ASPHER Executive Director, Thierry Louvet. Representing OSI, Professor Judith Overall contributed continuously with evaluative advice. We share these program experiences in the belief that the documentation will prove useful not only to those who participated in the past, but also to those who take this path in the future. Françoise Girard Stojgniew J. Stiko Director, Public Health Program President, Association of Schools of Public Open Society Institute, New York Health in the European Region (ASPHER) Addendum: On a Personal Note I feel personally very attached to the enterprise of this book representing the experience gained in the establishment and development of programmes
