<aside> 🔒 Private Programs are programs with restricted or invitation-only access. The hub team will send a personalised invitation to each participant, asking them to register for the program using their provided phone number or email address.

Hence, only those who have received an invitation can register for the program, and their personal information will remain confidential. The hub team will be responsible for managing the registration process and will have the authority to review and revoke access for any participant at any given time.

<aside> 👐 Public Programs are open programs where anyone with the program link can view program details and register. A unique registration link will be provided to each participant for the public program.

Only individuals who have received the link will be able to register for the program, and the hub team will have the right to review and remove access for any participant at any given point in time. This ensures that participant details such as phone numbers or email addresses remain confidential, and only those who have been invited can register for the program.

Please note that in the upcoming iterations of this feature, public programs will be made searchable and discoverable on the platform for the ECHO Community, allowing participants to find programs aligned with their interests and register accordingly.
