Summary

TEPHINET has partnered with the CDC to develop the curriculum “From Data to Action: A Curriculum for Cancer Prevention and Control in Low and Middle-Income Countries.” These materials were developed with an emphasis on the capacity development needs in low and middle-income countries.

Building upon this earlier work, partners wanted to expand learning content to specific cancers, creating new learning materials using the foundational set and adding the cancer-specific focus/content. This course was developed for management and technical staff at Ministries of Health to assist in aligning their cervical cancer prevention program with the global elimination strategy.

Target Audience

It is designed for management and technical staff at the Ministry of Health to assist in aligning their cervical cancer prevention program with the global elimination strategy.

The course is also relevant for individuals supporting program evaluation.
