Interdisciplinary programming tools
Dear Geeta,
A few suggestions in response to your query of 23 Nov.
Towards Healthy Alliances � a manual for evaluating joint working, par-
ticularly including community organisations � 1995, by Funnell, Old-
field & Speller. Published by the Health Education Authority, Trevelyan
House, 30 Gt Peter St, London SW1P 2HW, or from Marston Book Services,
PO Box 269, Abingdon Oxon OX14 4YN , fax 01235 465555.
The book Management and Organisation of Developing Health Systems, 1994
by Collins CD, Oxford Medical Publications, has a chapter on intersec-
toral coordination with useful checklists for planning.
Article: Joint working & the production of a City Health Plan: the Liv-
erpool experience, 1997, Costongs & Springett, Health Promotion Inter-
national vol 12 no1, pp 9-19 � is a very interesting discussion of the
process of different groups working together.
Documents from the WHO Healthy Cities initiative might be relevant �
many projects have been set up all round the world.
Also, rapid appraisal methods are suitable for setting up joint proj-
ects � for identifying needs and setting joint objectives. I would
imagine CIDA has materials on RRA or PRA.
My interest:
I am working on a proposal to design an intersectoral programme to
tackle TB in South Africa, particularly to include the education sec-
tor.
I should be very interested to hear from anyone with experience of such
a programme or suggestions of models of intersectoral action that would
be appropriate.
Best wishes
Nicola
