About African Future University

Fully online African digital university with French and English pathways.

Overview

This tuition-free online MSc at African Future University is for district M&E officers, HMIS focal points, and NGO data managers who must keep health information systems honest when paper and DHIS2 disagree. You will not be trained to diagnose or to register as a clinician. You will design data flows, interrogate incentive-to-lie, and write bilingual district notes. Rural facilities and community registers are required cases. The degree does not confer clinical registration. Capstones use anonymised district extracts, not a WHO consultancy claim.

Delivered fully online with live seminars, recorded lectures, and tutor support.
