Global Drowning Prevention Leadership Institute

The Global Drowning Prevention Leadership Institute (GDPLI) equips and empowers professionals across all disciplines and levels of the health system and beyond to translate technical know-how into effective, implementable programs and policies that strengthen health systems and elevate drowning prevention programs worldwide.
 
Rooted in science and a systems-based public health approach, the GDPLI strengthens capacity for drowning prevention through practice, advocacy, and leadership in low- and middle-income countries. The program focuses on translating evidence into policy, designing and implementing effective interventions, and improving local response systems. JH-IIRU is collaborating closely with the World Health Organization (WHO); Global Health Advocacy Incubator (GHAI); CDC Foundation; Centre for Injury Prevention and Research, Bangladesh; Synergos; and James Cook University to implement the GDPLI.
