Abstract
This paper describes the interdisciplinary and international collaborative curriculum reform process followed to develop a competency-based Masters in Public Health (MPH) programme for Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) in Nigeria with the support of the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. The process involved a Departmental retreat, two workshops held in Nigeria, an independent review process as well as capacity-building visits to enable sharing of best practice. The outcomes thus far are a final draft of the competencies required from an ABU MPH graduate with initial mapping of learning outcomes and teaching and assessment methods. The process has been advantageous, but slow and challenging at the same time. Challenges include openness to change, burocracy and internal politics, infrastructure availability and staff changes. Positive aspects include the improvement in the quality of teaching and research within the MPH programme, team-building within the Department of Community Medicine, research collaboration opportunities and globalisation of the curriculum.
