New! Ideaboks from the M/MC

The Ideabooks are actually web pages on specific health issues, showing a few examples of materials on each.. This is an easy way to access ideas and inspiration for your own work. So far, there are Ideabooks on Abstinence, Malaria, and Partner Communication. Go to http://www.hcpartnership.org/Publications/Ideabooks/ to access the entire collection.

It was further developed with contributions from staff at ANCS in Senegal, the Alliance in the Caribbean, CARE Rwanda and Uganda, Thai National AIDS Foundation and various CORE Initiative and Alliance staff.
