Strategic Management, Public Health Information, Public Health Legislation, as well as Public Health Trainingand Research are considered essential elements of a coherent public health strategy for Serbia, a republic ofthe former Yugoslavia.Whereas the strategic framework in Serbia is outlined in detail, which includes an action plan that is linkedwith local pilot initiatives, the information base is well developed but not yet sufficiently related to thestrategic objectives. The transformation of strategic considerations and information into meaningfullegislative acts stands at halfway and has to cope with a heritage of unrelated and dysfunctional laws. A bigstep forward was made with the establishment of a modern School of Public Health in Belgrade in 2004, whichacts as a brain-trust for the New Public Health in Serbia.The multi-professionalism at the Institutes of Public Health and the corresponding inter-disciplinarity at theacademic Schools of Public Health provide an adequate institutional environment if the resources of skills,knowledge and experience are adequately managed – in a participatory and supportive system representinga flat hierarchy.

Health sector decentralization has created an urgent need to strengthen public health management capacity in many countries throughout the developing world. This article describes the establishment of a national management training network in Vietnam that used Project-Based Learning to strengthen management competencies of HIV program workers and linked training to measurable improvement in HIV/AIDS public health program outcomes. Skills were taught using a combination of classroom learning and mentored fieldwork. From 2005 to 2015, 827 HIV/AIDS program managers were trained with this method throughout Vietnam by trainers in 3 regional training centers. A total of 218 applied learning projects were carried out by trainees during this period; 132 resulted in measurable improvements in HIV/AIDS program outputs, and 86 produced well-organized plans for implementing, monitoring, and evaluating HIV/AIDS intervention strategies. Vietnam's management training network represents an important advancement in public health workforce development that helps prepare workers for new roles and responsibilities in a decentralized health system.
