Additional Information

e-Platform for healthworkers We are a group of 5 non-profit organizations who are collaborating to establish a national-level mobile-optimized e-Platform for healthworkers in Tanzania, using an open source MOODLE platform customized for local use and hosted in Tanzania. The design of the platform aims to create a virtual professional learning community which prioritizes working as a team and using problem-solving approaches to address human resources for health challenges. The health workers’ e-Platform will: • Raise awareness of health workers on relevant policies, research findings and best practices • Provide access to continuous professional development courses • Allow relevant reports and documents to be shared though a searchable online repository of resources, and • Inform health workers about ongoing events through mapping of conferences, workshops, etc.
