Critical Skills Strengthening
and Capacity BUILDING
Strengthening critical (soft) skills and providing technical capacity development to public health professionals, medical clinicians, and community health workers is high priority. Additionally, it is imperative that global health and international development organizations provide opportunities for their workforce to obtain, improve, and retain the skills, knowledge, competencies, and resources needed to do their jobs effectively and competently
Critical skills like emotional intelligence, effective communication skills, problem-solving, team player mindset, and flexibility is a great way to make your workforce change-ready, empowered, and in control of their own career development. Building and developing the capacity of employees is valuable and key to the long-term success of every organization and corporation. It fosters a greater sense of ownership, self-efficacy, and high performance. Employees’ confidence, knowledge, mastery of practical skills, and acquisition of resources are strengthened and easily applied to the daily operations of your organization and corporation.
UBUNTU guides global health leadership teams, workforce, and public health and medical career professionals with the strengthening of soft and technical skills as well as capacity building. The strengthening of the essential public health skills and competence directly improves health professional’s overall performance, communication, and delivery of healthcare services and programming.

What do our clients say about us?
"I worked with Hermence during the Ebola crisis in Guinea. While Peace Corps Volunteers had been evacuated from Guinea, our staff remained in place and an interagency agreement was signed to support the CDC. Hermence came to Guinea and helped lead training with WHO for contact tracing team supervisors and health workers in Conakry using her excellent French language skills. This training focused on risk communication skills to negotiate positive citizen cooperation. Pre and post-tests showed strong positive results, and participants reported essential work benefits. In sum, Hermence is a dynamic and effective trainer!”

I have been really impressed by uBuntu’s ability to lead programs. uBuntu used role play, team exercises, and practical examples to emphasize key messages in the sessions. Hermence, the CEO, served as our Atlanta based supervisor during my STOP mission in Haiti. Within this position she conducted a site visit in Haiti where she organized a 2 day workshop to reinforce surveillance capacity of national staff. This meeting brought together key implementing partners on disease surveillance activities such as CDC, WHO, and national priority programs on epidemic prone diseases. Once again Hermence demonstrated her passion for effective communication and skills acquisition in Public Health. As a result, Haitian national health and surveillance workforce was
transformed for the better.
