Videos
- WHO TDR Implementation research toolkit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_AZeP4RzzU
The toolkit is designed to aid the understanding of implementation research - a type of research conducted in real life settings with a view to scaling up interventions and improving access to them. There are 6 core modules to identify bottlenecks and barriers, engage stakeholders, formulate appropriate research questions, manage data collection, disseminate findings and conduct monitoring and evaluation. It is available as a workbook, with a facilitators’ guide and slides for teaching.
The video and toolkit were produced by TDR, the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases, a co-sponsored programme of UNICEF, UNDP, the World Bank and the World Health Organization (where it is based). Full information on the toolkit is available here:http://www.who.int/tdr/publications/t...
- The response to the 2015 Nepal earthquakes: the value of preparedness
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilAJIerekCQ
Thanks to the preparations Nepal’s government had made with support from WHO and its partners, when the earthquake struck on 25 April, health services kept functioning in many areas that had been affected. But the country still has great needs – including facing the threat of communicable disease outbreaks and avalanches – and requires continued international support.
