About Us

Welcome to CPD-Academy

Leading and managing a modern health system requires training beyond technical knowledge. 
Specifically, it requires practical knowledge, skills sets and proficiency in the Leadership, Management and Governance processes and practices. Unfortunately, many health managements teams have limited capacity and experience of fulfilling a management role.
The  CPD Academy is online self-study educational platform created by the Initiative for Health Accountability and Transparency, a Non-Government Organization to provide  learning resources for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) of Health Professionals on Leadership, Management and Governance.  
ALL categories of health professionals at ALL levels have remarkable stake in leadership and management role and are targeted for Leadership, Management and Governance development by the Academy. 
CPD Academy is maintaining exceptional standards and multiple accreditations to meet the needs for Continuing Professional Education through the Regulatory Institutions such as the:

  1. Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) 
  2. Pharmacist Council of Nigeria (PCN)
  3. Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) 
  4. Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria (MLSCN)
  5. Environment Health Officers Registration Council of Nigeria (EHORCON)
  6. Community Health Practitioners Registration Board of Nigeria (CHPRBN)

In addition, we are collaborating with a Technical Agency and Consulting firm, Integrated Healthcare Strategies and Analytics Limited in the development and Implementation of our Training Programmes.

CPD Academy is a flagship programme of the Initiative for Health Accountability and Transparency,  a registered Non-Governmental Organization founded to promote good governance and accountability in the health system in Nigeria.
Effective Leadership, Sound Management and Transparent Governance in healthcare has been relatively emphasized in recent years as a key to better health outcomes. It is reported that mere presence of health resources may not necessarily lead to desirable outcomes if management processes and practices are poor (World Bank 1998).
Considerable inadequacies are known to exist in leadership, management and governance processes and practices among health professionals. Consequently, many well intended health programmes do not achieve set goals. CPD Academy was established to provide a readily accessible and sustainable platform for training the next generation of health Leaders and Managers to effectively manage available health resources for better health outcomes have become most compelling and urgent.
Our Goal is to support stakeholders at all levels to enhance the leadership and management capacity of critical stakeholders and making substantial contribution towards improving the performance of the health system, health outcomes and the achievement of Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
     The primary targets are current and future health leaders and managers, and all those aspiring for leadership and management role in the health system. This includes all cadres of health professionals – Medical Doctors, Nurses and Midwives, Pharmacists, Environment Health Officers, Laboratory Scientists and Community Health Practitioners; and students of health sciences.
Our courses are designed to:


  • Expand access to learning materials on Leadership, Management and Governance (LMG) Processes and Practices
  • Build and enhance critical leadership and management skills and competencies needed to lead and manage modern health system for better performance and outcomes
  • Help health professionals by offering platform to learn at their pace and convenience.

The benefits of capacity building of health professionals on Leadership, Management and Governance include the following:

  • Improving the impact of health leaders and managers to drive progress towards stronger health system and better health outcomes.
  • Increasing the number of inspiring and innovative health leaders and managers
  • Helping to build personal resilience, confidence, influence and capabilities to promote high-performing and continuously-improving   institutions and organizations
