Question:
My name is Molly and I work with Susan G Komen for the Cure in community health. We have the opportunity to provide training to some partners in Jordan regarding asset mapping, locating assets, finding programs and services, evaluating those services and partnering with organizations. Do you know of any vital analysis models or tools used to accomplish this? In our asset mapping, we discuss GIS mapping, databases, and some other technology to look at statistics and online directories but realize this may not be an option in Jordan. Do you have any tools you have used in working with other countries?
Answer:
Thanks for your question, Molly. The current advisor (me) does not know of tools that have been used in other countries, but does suggest: (1) Enter Asset Mapping in our Search CTB field. You will get a number of hits, most of which look practical and may well generalize to Jordan. (2) Ask your contacts in Jordan to access CTB and search CTB as above. Ask them which tools appear practical to them and best fit their training needs. (3) When their list comes back to you, ask them what technologies they already have available. Don't assume. (4) Build your training accordingly. We wish you well and hope this reply is helpful.
