Peter Gottert, our long-time (25 years for some of us....) colleague specializing in community-based strategies to health-related behavior change, will share some basic principles from his own experiences in the field--particularly in Africa. Peter says "Many community programs are simply too complicated to be scaled up." His presentation will include a series of “observations and practical tips that focus on how to streamline the design of community-based strategies in order to dramatically improve results." Note that Peter has developed the presentation along with Mary Carnell, JSI (with whom he has worked on many USAID projects), and plans to give the presentation with her again at JSI on September 21. (This presentation does not focus specifically on Alive & Thrive activities.)
