In the years since the publication of the GPP Guidelines, many tools and strategies have been created all around the world. AVAC developed an Online Training Course which is available to the public for free and offered once a year through the Engage platform. Other courses, events, and groups are also available on that platform so the global community of GPP practitioners can connect and learn from one another.
Several of the tools, workbooks, and templates created for those courses are available below for general use:
Manual: M&E for Community Stakeholder Engagement, published by AVAC and TB Alliance
This manual presents some background and a set of tools to set in motion a culture of monitoring community and stakeholder engagement programs affiliated with HIV and TB related clinical trials.

This is a repository of the tools outlined in the community and stakeholder engagement manual (see above).
