Abstract
through the shared process of developing micro-courses to empower community educators with reproductive health and menstrual health information. Using a case study approach, this paper illustrates the interconnectedness of stakeholders and the need for symbiotic capacity building in higher education and civil society for effective community development. The analysis explores the challenges and successes of the collaborative process of developing and implementing micro-courses for community development. Key takeaways include the potential of micro-courses in meeting the need for non-formal, community-based lifelong learning to address social and economic challenges affecting women and girls, the importance of strong partnerships between universities and inter-governmental organisation for effective community transformation and the need for ongoing development and adaptation of micro-courses for lifelong learning needs of communities. This research contributes to knowledge on the role of micro-courses in fostering inclusive and sustainable development, within the context of higher education institutions in developing countries.
