Summary
Arusha, Tanzania - 2000/2003
Two meetings were held at the headquarters of the Eastern and Southern African Management Institute (ESAMI) in Arusha, Tanzania, in October-November 2000. The first was an internal WHO meeting to which Regional Offices had been invited. The second involved members of an ad-hoc partnership on the institutionalisation of HIA capacity-building in Africa. Representatives from the WHO Regional Office for Africa, two WHO Collaborating Centres (the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and the Danish Bilharziasis Laboratory - DBL), as well as ESAMI, were able to attend.
Drawing on the work accomplished during these two meetings, Robert Bos (WHO), Martin Birley (Liverpool) and Peter Furu (DBL) subsequently published a training manual: "Developing intersectoral decision-making skills in support of Health Impact Assessment in development projects".
