A few weeks ago my somali-keynan(NFD) friend wanted to apply for a NGO job in somalia or kenya and he was looking to do a masters in something. But I forget what the course was called walahi, something about health and disease.

Look at some uni's and check their degrees on health and disease, I forgot the exact name bro.

NGO management and conflict resolution come to mind of the top of my head. A relative of mine who is way up there in IGAD has a masters in conflict resolution although IGAD is not an NGO.
