Guidelines and Tools
The following documents are a collection of guidelines and tools aimed at helping partners plan, implement, monitor and evaluate ACSM activities. It is a repository of resources that have been produced by many different partners. Many of the document and links are not TB specific, but have been added as a useful resource that can be adapted for TB related ACSM. We are more than happy to add to this list and encourage all ACSM partners to send links to documents that they have produced, or that they have used and have found to be particularly helpful. Please send documents and links to stoptbacsm@who.int.
