1. Modest Financial Support available for Impact Case Studies
The Secretariat is pleased to announce that it will be able to provide modest financial support to centres that are willing to CONTRIBUTE IMPACT CASE STUDIES. The amount may be used by Centre Leaders for the time their staff spend to write up the studies and/or refreshments provided.
Please indicate to osman.sankoh@indepth-network.org willingness to participate before December 15.
We had circulated four powerful impact case studies from Agincourt (South Africa), Manhica (Mozambique), Nairobi (Kenya) and Dodowa (Ghana) on how their work have contributed to influencing policy and practice.
The idea: We want to compile an INDEPTH book on Impact Case Studies by our member centres in Africa, Asia and Oceania.
