From September 21-23, 2009, MLI hosted the Negotiating Health Development Leadership Training in Kathmandu, Nepal for the senior team from the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP). Responding to a request for enhanced leadership skills from the MoHP, the workshop, facilitated by CMPartners, offered a set of tools and best-practices in negotiation, conflict management and effective communication. The facilitators emphasised the practical application of these tools in the everyday lives of the senior leadership at the MoHP.
