How have you used the Community Tool Box to support your work and make a difference?
It was in the module Health prevention/promotion, target group specific implementation strategies that Mr. Hans Saan introduced the tool box to us. We all were impressed with the user friendly approach and the amount of very useful information and guidelines. There was one remark from the group: gender was not mentioned as being an important determinant when looking at target groups and community approach. We did not go trough the whole program so it is possible that we overlooked it. I mailed you address to my previous work place in Zimbabwe. I am wishing you good luck. regards Nolly Verbeek
