Helping Leaders Manage Their Businesses


	In 2005, Johnson & Johnson discovered a pressing need among organizations that provide services for the HIV/AIDS community: Formal management training for leaders was lacking and, in some cases, non-existent. Nduku Kilonzo was one of those leaders. She also was one of the first participants in the Management Development Institute (MDI), a program established through a partnership between Johnson & Johnson, the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and the African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF). Additional support for the MDI is provided by The Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration and The University of Cape Town Graduate School of Business. “When I took part in the MDI program in Kenya, I was working in research at the time,” says Kilonzo, who currently serves as Director of the Liverpool VCT and Chairperson of the Health NGOs Network (HENNET), Kenya. “Many of the individuals who participated in the program started out as technicians and were promoted into management without any formal management training. At the MDI, we learned about setting goals, teamwork, and how to identify issues within an organization and plan for them.” Kilonzo is among 400 leaders of African HIV/AIDS organizations who have been trained through the MDI since 2006. The one-week intensive program includes classes in crucial areas of management, such as organizational planning, operations management, financial management, leadership and human resources, and marketing. In 2010, three sessions will be held, including programs in Nairobi, Kenya; Cape Town, South Africa; and Accra, Ghana. “The MDI lessons are practical and aimed toward meeting the complex challenges faced by African organizations,” says Victor Tabbush, Ph.D., Program Director for the MDI and an adjunct professor in Global Economics and Business at UCLA Anderson School of Management. “By training leaders, we are improving the organizations’ efficiency so that they can deliver more services and higher quality services to individuals living with HIV.” Learn More www.anderson.ucla.edu
