Este manual procura reforçar e acelerar a tradução dos conhecimentos na luta contra o cancro em acções de saúde pública e serve também como um dos principais documentos de referência acerca do desenvolvimento de programas nacionais de controlo de cancro. É por isso destinado principalmente a líderes, gestores e pessoas que tomam decisões na área da saúde e áreas relacionadas; profissionais médicos; instituições académicas; organizações não governamentais e, de uma forma mais geral, às partes interessadas que necessitam acompanhar a prevenção e controlo do cancro.

As part of this project, it has developed specific toolkits aimed at generating support among key government officials, and agencies for cervical cancer prevention, ensure informed and active participation among girls, their families and community collaborators and enable health staff to effectively raise awareness about cervical cancer prevention within their communities. These toolkits include: (i) Cervical Cancer Prevention and Control Strategic Planning toolkit; (ii) Cervical Cancer Prevention and Control IEC tool kit; (iii) Cervical Cancer Prevention and Control Advocacy toolkit. The workshop was geared to build the capacity and orient a pool of master trainers on AFRO’s approach to cervical cancer prevention and control as regards Advocacy, IEC and Strategic Planning.
