This collaboration built an Internet-based, interactive curriculum to improve public health education at Kenyan and U.S. universities. The partnership augmented technical expertise at universities and in the public sector, strengthened environmental and veterinary curricula to address health issues and sustainable agricultural and resource management practices, and improved public health research and education networks, especially with regard to HIV/AIDS.

In collaboration with members of the USAID-established Kenya Educational Network (KENET, comprised of 22 Kenyan universities linked via the Internet) and other African stakeholders, the partners also strengthened capacity utilizing the Internet for teaching and promoting internal dialogue and cooperation between Kenyan institutions.

At a 2004 workshop hosted by the University of Nairobi, 18 jointly developed, health-related courses were formalized. Many of these courses developed by Kenyan universities and were made available countrywide.
