eForums on HIV and TB: A Toolkit for Launching, Moderating and Managing a High Quality eForum

This publication on email discussion forums for information sharing, networking and dialogue on HIV, AIDS, TB, and related health and development issues - eForums - was produced jointly by Health and Development Networks (HDN), AIDSPortal, and the International HIV/AIDS Alliance.

HDN conceptualised and launched the first eForum in 1996 and since then has established regional, national, and issue-based forums to facilitate more unified, grounded action for change. This toolkit was created to document best practice for developing and utilising eForums, informed by their experience. The toolkit is an instructive resource for civil society organisations (CSOs) working in the HIV and TB fields, but has the potential to be applied to a range of health and development issues. It is intended for international, regional, and national CSOs recognising the power of information and the significance of a transparent, broad-based communication mechanism that enhances civil society responses to HIV and TB.Editor's note: This document is no longer available online.
