Dear all,
 
4th INTERNATIONAL COURSE ON PROMOTING RATIONAL DRUG USE IN THE COMMUNITY

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT
 
This is a preliminary announcement for the next course on Promoting
Rational
Drug Use in the Community pending final logistical arrangements. The
course,
conducted in English,   will take place in Swaziland from 2-14 November.
A
flyer and application form will be distributed in the near future and
will
also be available on the EDM website at:
http://www.who.int/medicines/organization/par/prduc.html

There will be a further announcement on E-drug once these are actually
available.

This very successful two-week international training course is jointly
organized by WHO's Department of Essential Drugs and Medicines Policy,
the
University of Amsterdam and the Royal Tropical Institute, Amsterdam. It
is
intended for staff from ministries of health, universities and
development
agencies, nongovernmental and other organizations, and interested
individuals.

Over two weeks and working with very experienced international faculty,
participants will gain "hands on" experience in how to:

* effectively identify and prioritize community drug use problems;

* choose and develop appropriate intervention strategies and
communication
channels;

* pretest materials;

* evaluate impact;

* fundraise and network for support and sustainability.

The course emphasizes that interventions must take into account the
social
and economic context in which health- and medicine-seeking behaviour
take
place, and be developed with community input.

Teaching methods in this highly participatory course include group
activities, fieldwork, presentations and discussions. Participants spend
the
final two days preparing a detailed plan of action to tackle an
important
community drug use problem in their home country. They also receive a
set of
session materials and a small core communications library.

The fee of US$ 2,950 covers tuition, course materials and shared hotel
accommodation in Swaziland. Single room are available at an extra cost
payable by participants. There will also be a reduced fee for local
participants.
