Project Work:

1.     Striving for Excellence through Action Research and Capacity building in eHealth (SEARCH)-  NORPART-2018/10032, 5Million NOK (2019 to 2013).  I am the project coordinator for SEARCH project. SEARCH is a student& staff mobility project aiming to: support international student mobility between University of Gondar(UoG), University of South-Eastern Norway (USN) & University of Oslo (UiO); improve health informatics curriculum at the partner institutions; internships at joint partners, joint curriculum development, joint student supervision and joint high quality action research. The project will result in coordinated health informatics curriculum through 5 new or revised courses; 46 Master and 12 PhD student exchanges (involving coursework, co-supervision and internships); 4 master student and faculty seminars; and 20jointly written scientific papers.

2.     BETTEReHEALTH- Better eHealth for Better helath- H2020 ( funded from 2021- 2023)- (BETTEReHEALTH) is a coordination and support action (CSA) funded under the Societal challenge 1 Health. SINTEF coordinate and there are 6 partners  in Europe (including USN) and 5 partners in Africa.  I am a project coordinator for USN and USN business school  has 128 050 euro from the total 1.995 Million Euro.

BETTEReHEALTH stands for "Better e-health for better health" and will work with the commitments, strategies and needs of low and lower middle income countries (LLMICs) and regions in Africa to provide better health to their citizens. The project will do  that by using a bottom-up approach to coordinate and support the utilization and further development of existing strategic partnerships on e-health deployment. BETTEReHEALTH is a consortium of African and European partners that are e-health stakeholders (hence bottom-up), with diverse background and roles (balancing health, technical and policy viewpoints), with extensive experience in the field and with first-hand knowledge of the local context. The project will establish  four regional hubs covering the different regions of the African content, and through them we will ensure the extensive involvement of participants from African LLMICs, and the broad dissemination of the project activities and outputs to the relevant actors. Our activities include the coordination and implementation of registries for e-health solutions and e-health policies while in parallel supporting and organizing activities and workshops that will address the human, technical and public policy factors that are related to the successful implementation of e-health in LLMICs in Africa. The knowledge produced by these activities will be used to develop an e-health policy roadmap and strategic implementation plans for four African LLMICs. The strengths of our proposal are the diversity of the involved partners that will contribute to an interdisciplinary approach (including health, technical and policymaking actors), the emphasis on evidence-based policymaking guaranteed by the academic and research partners, and the strong local involvement ensured by the four regional hubs.

3.     #59900 Nurturing SDGs through Higher Education Capacity Building in Ethiopia- NURTURE is a capacity-building project within Sub-Programme 1: Education and Teacher Training. The project improves the capacity of three education programs (eHealth,  informatics, and special needs) in five universities in Ethiopia and two universities (USN and UiO)  and one research institute in Norway.  I am the project coordinator for  this project  and has a project budget of 20 Million NOK.
