The proposed project (the Health Communication Capacity Project, or HealthComm-Capacity) is expected to build on prior efforts to provide tailored, multi-level capacity strengthening to a range of indigenous implementers, as well as technical leadership in health communication that includes professional exchange, analysis of emerging trends, and development and dissemination of technical and operational guidance.
