“…Nursing actions regulated by nurses benefit the relevant country, as through CPD, nursing activities can be aligned to healthcare needs. A Rwandan study evaluated the influence of CPD on nurses and midwives' performance ( Kasine et al, 2018 ). The study identified the translation of an accredited CPD course (Helping Babies Breathe) into practice by practicing midwives ( n =10) ( Kasine et al, 2018 ).…”

The HBB© was implemented in an attempt to improve the practice outcomes of neonatal asphyxia, the leading cause of neonatal mortality ( Kasine et al, 2018 ). The participants recognised the benefits of CPD for the profession, families, the newborn, and the healthcare system with such outcomes as increased practice confidence, improved sense of autonomy, and motivation towards life-long learning ( Kasine et al, 2018 ).…”

“…Although the influence of CPD on nurses and midwives' performance has been measured ( Kasine et al, 2018 ), it is infrequent. It appears there is no evidence of the measured impact of CPD on country health outcomes or the increased relevance of the nursing and midwifery workforce, following the attendance of CPD.…”

There is evidence of underperformance of the Global Health Indicators, particularly in the WHO Afro-region. Yet, quality, effective healthcare delivery, and access to information about best practice remains a challenge to nurses and midwives in the WHO Afro-region. For nurses and midwives to have the capacity to practice safely and competently they need to engage in mandatory Continuing Professional Development (CPD). However a composite picture is not available for future project planners, researchers, and policy developers. Published literature from the past five years and professional body webpages were searched. The results of shining a light on the WHO Afro-region member states CPD status revealed strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The strengths lay in the beginnings of mandatory CPD and annual licensure renewal, while the weaknesses revealed inequity of CPD distribution across the region. The opportunities showed international academic partnership with possibilities for further engagement, and the threats were evident in the health context of the Afro-region, the shortage of nurses and the lesser participation of nurses in CPD programs. The illumination of the CPD status in the Afro-region suggests that a revised CPD landscape is necessary to strengthen the relevance and response capacity of nurses and midwives, as key contributors towards the Global Health Indicators.

This research on open, interdisciplinary and collaborative innovations called, "MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses)," analyzes the responses of 2799 participants about their perceptions of achieving their professional development goals and the competencies they sought to have acquired by the end of the course compared to their expectations at the time of course registration. The first four MOOCs analyzed covered topics in Energy Sustainability and were offered in 2017-2018 with a total of 17,210 participants. This research used a mixed methodology to analyze the responses of the participants of these online courses on energy sustainability (offered by the Binational Energy Laboratory Project: https ://energ ialab .tec.mx/). The results show that the participants of the MOOC do perceive that they have developed professionally in training on energy issues and that they now have open to them new business opportunities and new professional relationships. In addition, through successful completion of the MOOC, they have strengthened their perseverance and self-study skills as well as the use of information and communication technologies. The students' time management is perceived as one of the principle challenges in the learning processes of MOOCs.
