Neurodegenerative diseases (NDD) are one of the world’s leading medical and societal challenges, and there are now expected to be 50 million people worldwide suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. Sri Lanka is considered as a multi-ethnic country with one of the fastest ageing populations in South Asia, and the prevalence of NDD is also rapidly increasing. At the same time, there are no universities or any other educational institution that conduct training programmes in such areas. NDD has far-reaching and often underestimated consequences for informal caregivers (family members, friends and neighbours providing unpaid care), in terms of quality of life, health and loss of income. Therefore, creating of trained professionals for treating the elderly with NDD and support the informal caregivers is a great need for the country. A consortium of five European and four Sri Lankan partners that are covering the area of the highest population density will work together to deliver concrete tangible results:-Eight courses that will represent a total of 30 credits (1500 hours) per the Sri Lanka qualifications framework (SLQF) system.-The courses will generate a program that will be accreditated as either a postgraduate certificate, postgraduate diploma and Masters by coursework at the four Sri Lankan universities. - Eight to sixteen continuous professional development training modules are developed. - Twenty Sri Lankan staff will be trained in delivering the courses. The impact after the project has ended is that Sri Lanka will have modernised and increased the capacity to train healthcare students and healthcare professionals about NDD without any need for further support at this level, which makes the project notably sustainable. The fundamental impact, though, will be the enhancement of the provision of care for patients and their families with NDD.
