In order to generate evidence on the effectiveness of community-based interventions and to learn lessons related to their implementation, a demonstration project was initiated in Ballabgarh, India in January 2004. This paper describes the experience gained and the lessons learnt during the the first two years of the project. A coalition of community members called uFriends of City" was formed. Schools and industries were identified as the prime stakeholders of interventions along with others that included private and public health sectors, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), traders and the media. A survey was conducted to document the baseline levels of risk factors, the results of which were shared with all stakeholders. Furthermore, an educational "Live healthy" campaign was launched with the help of all involved. Regular meetings are organized by the UFriends of City" team to review the progress of the project and plan its activities. The challenges being faced include leadership; development of ownership by the community; building on previous efforts to guide on technical issues; linkages with other interventions, and mobilization of resources for the campaign. In this context, a process and impact evaluation will guide future orientation of the project. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
