Regional dialogue on health literacy in east and southern Africa
The Training and Research Support Centre (TARSC), with partner organisations held a regional dialogue on the next stages of the regional health literacy programme in Uganda on 27 and 28 September 2009 after the EQUINET conference. The report of the dialogue is available on this website with further information on how to get involved in the future work on this programme. Interested persons should contact The Coordinator, Health Literacy Programme admin@tarsc.org AND tarsc@mweb.co.zw with HEALTH LITERACY in the subject line.
National dialogue on Primary Health Care
TARSC with Community Working Group on Health implemented a community based assessment in March 2009 of Primary Health Care in sites in 20 districts of Zimbabwe, the report of which is available on this site. A national meeting was held in July 2009 to discuss the findings, with the report also on this site. Work is now underway to explore how to take forward the proposals for action from that meeting, as a means to strengthen support for Primary Health Care approaches to strengthening the health system in Zimbabwe. For feedback on the two reports or interest in follow up please contact admin@tarsc.org AND tarsc@mweb.co.zw with PRIMARY HEALTH CARE in the subject line.
Auntie Stella in Swahili
On this website you can now find the Swahili version of Auntie Stella: Teenagers talk about sex, life and relationships. The toolkit includes 40 laminated question and answer cards and a 40 page facilitators guide, packaged in an attractive blue case. It is targeted at young people in the east and southern African (ESA) region aged 12 to 19 years. Two new cards have been added including information on male circumcision and concurrent sexual relationships. See further information on our Training Resources page on this site.
Latest Activities
Training and Research Support Centre with Community Working Group on Health is currently involved in a programme to promote action to strengthen Primary Health Care in Zimbabwe. This complements work to support the capacity needs for health centre committees in Zimbabwe to effectively perform their roles in health. The work has involved assessment of PHC status, capacities and needs, dialogue on the assessment and identification of priorities for follow up by national institutions involved in the delivery of PHC. This work aims to complement and support efforts at strengthening the health system from the bottom up.
The EQUINET publications page has a number of new publications co-authored or co-produced by TARSC.
