HISTORY OF LEADERNET

LeaderNet was launched by the USAID-funded Management and Leadership (M&L) Program in 2002 to offer health care managers and facilitators a virtual network for collaborative learning and coaching in leadership and management skills. LeaderNet was based on Lidernet, a platform developed in Brazil to support more than 400 leaders who had completed an MSH leadership development program. LeaderNet was later supported by the USAID-funded Leadership, Management & Governance Project. By 2017, LeaderNet had grown to over 9,000 members from 172 countries.

Now LeaderNet has expanded the range of global health content to include pharmaceutical management, infectious diseases, universal health coverage, as well as cross-cutting topics such as adolescent health and learning.

The community continues to thrive and evolve through the contributions of members such as you!
