Our Advanced Market Systems Development Course will be in Istanbul from 7th – 11th April 2025. To apply, please fill out this form.
Why do this course?
Our new Advanced Training on Market Systems Development course is designed specifically for professionals with experience, enthusiasm, and passion for the practical challenges of MSD implementation.
This course will be run in-person in Istanbul from the 7th – 11th April 2025. It is suitable for people who have taken other introductory MSD courses, including our own online market systems development course.
Developing a course for seasoned practitioners allows us to take a radically different approach to training. The course will be immersive and scenario-based, asking you to develop business models, negotiate with partners, and respond to unexpected events.
You will also learn about some of the most pressing challenges in market systems development today, including environmental impacts, working in conflict-affected contexts, and supporting equity.
This is the first time we are offering the course, and we believe that it fills a critically needed gap in training provision among the MSD community. To make it work, however, we need your help. If you are interested in joining, please register as soon as you can – this will help build the critical mass needed to run the course. We rely on word of mouth for advertising, so please also share the page with colleagues or friends.
During this course you will:
Build practical skills in market systems development, through immersive scenario-based training
Learn from experts about the latest thinking in MSD, and how to apply them in your programmes
Meet a network of senior professionals from around the world, who share your passion for MSD
