ACSM Good Practices
Advocacy, communication and social mobilization for TB control: collection of country-level good practices. Download document
The purpose of this document is to highlight cases in which advocacy, communication and social mobilization (ACSM) interventions have contributed to a positive outcome of TB control activities. By sharing good practices, other implementing partners will hopefully be able to learn from, replicate and enhance the activities in their own unique setting.
It is also through sharing of good practices that we can expand the evidence-base for strategic ACSM and stimulate innovative thinking to address not only TB control challenges, but also to go even further and start, step-by-step to tackle the social determinants of health in general.
The Stop TB Partnership would like to hear from you!
Please share your experience planning and implementing advocacy, communication and social mobilization activities at national, regional and local levels. There are two ways to submit a good practice. See description of each and method for submission below:
