HOW CAN I SHARE MY IEC TOOLS
WITH BEATCHAGAS PLATFORM?
If you have developed materials, activities, or strategies related to IEC-Chagas, share them with GT6-IEC. The technical group assesses contributions in order to make them available to people, organizations, institutions, and governments.
The tools shared with GT6-IEC should follow a series of criteria and be based, as much as possible, on evidence and studies that verify the validity and impact of the tools.
If you have resources or strategies that fulfill these requirements, the technical group can assess them and make them available through the BeatChagas platform.
