About Us
Welcome Message from Carol Jenkins, CEO
World Learning believes that the best hope for peace, justice, and sustainability lies in bringing people together. Through cultural immersion, experiential learning, and information sharing, our programs equip others to collaboratively address the most pressing issues of our time.
Throughout my years at World Learning, I have had the fortunate opportunity to meet with many of our participants, partners, and alumni—a global network of learners. Our programs help them understand other cultures, master new skills, and cultivate networks. Our teaching and training methodologies empower them to find locally relevant, sustainable, and implementable solutions. Our approaches emphasize flexibility and adaptability that help them tackle real-world problems. They, in turn, make extraordinary changes in their lives and communities.
Please join us—and those we work with and serve around the world—in our pursuit to create a brighter and better future for all.

Malawi Scholarship Program
Program Description
The Malawi Scholarship Program (MSP) was a seven-year initiative designed to build the capacity of Malawi’s health service delivery and management sector.
The program supported training at the master’s level for Malawi health professionals in public health, human nutrition, and family planning and reproductive health to upgrade their technical and professional knowledge at U.S. and African universities.
The project was expanded to include long-term academic training in Malawi for more than 760 students at various levels, including certificate programs, diploma programs, bachelor’s degrees, and master’s degrees. Altogether, the Malawi Scholarship Program supported nearly 800 scholars by its end.
For all elements of MSP—U.S., third-country, and in-country—World Learning, through our Washington, DC, and Lilongwe offices, arranged university placements; monitored and evaluated students and programs; oversaw program finances; implemented post-training follow-on activities for program graduates in conjunction with USAID and its U.S. subcontractor, International Leadership Center; facilitated networks of alumni support; and ensured compliance with funder policies.
The project was funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development as a task order under the Focus on Results: Enhancing Capacity across Sectors in Transition II-Participant Training contract (FORECAST II-PT).
Program Goals
- Improved health service delivery and management.
- Trained health professionals in key fields including public health, nutrition, and family planning and reproductive health.
