Who can apply?
Peoples-Praxis mentoring is open to anyone working in a public health capacity in a low-to-middle-income country (LMIC). You do not need a postgraduate qualification to apply.
You are currently working in, or contributing to public health in a low-to-middle-income country context — in any role or setting.
You are ready to invest time in regular meetings, reflection, and putting insights into practice in your work.
You have sufficient internet access to hold regular video or audio calls with your mentor.
If you are unsure whether your role or context fits, please get in touch — we review all applications individually and are happy to discuss your situation.

Everything included in the Peoples-Praxis mentoring programme — free of charge.
Regular 1:1 Mentoring
Scheduled remote sessions with a mentor matched to your professional context and goals. You set the agenda — your mentor guides, supports, and challenges you.
Help With a Real Project
Work through an actual challenge from your practice — whether a research project, health programme, policy question, or career decision. Real work, real impact.
Reflection & Learning Tools
Access to reflection templates, small tests of change, goal-setting tools, and mentoring log books to help you track your learning and development throughout.
Free Online Courses
Full access to Peoples-Praxis free online courses covering research methods, public health, epidemiology, human rights, and more — throughout and beyond the programme.
Community & Peer Network
Connect with fellow mentees through the Mentorsphir platform — country groups, shared learning, and a global network of public health professionals.
Certificate of Completion
A certificate recognising your participation and achievement upon successfully meeting your agreed goals — useful for professional records and CPD portfolios.
What we expect from you
The programme works best when mentees are active, reflective, and engaged. Here is what we ask of you.
Attend scheduled meetings reliably, prepare for each session, and invest time between meetings in reflection and action. Typically 2–4 hours per month.
Use the provided log books and reflection tools. Thoughtful self-reflection is central to how you will grow through this programme.
Respect the confidential nature of the mentoring relationship. What is shared in sessions stays between mentor and mentee unless otherwise agreed.
Engage professionally and respectfully with your mentor and the Peoples-Praxis team at all times, in line with our safeguarding and conduct policies.
