GPP Strengths and Gaps is a facilitator’s guide for an exercise that is designed to help evaluate GPP implementation at a site level. It can be used with community and trial participants to garner honest feedback and constructive suggestions for improvements. 

This nine-page tool is a facilitator’s guide for an exercise developed by the site staff of the Microbicide Development Program in Tanzania. The activity can be used to engage community members, trial participants or staff members. It uses various participatory approaches to encourage participants to share their issues and concerns, debate amongst themselves and identify priority actions for the research site. This is designed as a companion tool to the GPP Blueprint, a comprehensive guide for developing a stakeholder engagement plan.

The GPP Summary Sheets offer an at-a-glance look at the GPP guidelines for individuals who may not be primarily responsible for implementing GPP, but who need to understand them. They are organized according to the stages of the trial life cycle: planning, trial conduct and post-trial. Each stage outlines GPP topic areas, highlights key practices, and lists considerations for various stakeholders.

The Stakeholder Interview Questions is a tool that is designed for trial site staff. It guides members of the research team through the process of conducting a one-on-one interview with a stakeholder. The tool provides guidance for talking with many different types of stakeholders. It can be used to evaluate the impact of stakeholder engagement efforts.
