ICCP Project Echo
The ICCP Project ECHO focuses on assisting countries in implementing their National Cancer Control Plans (NCCPs) through a collaborative learning approach.
The ICCP Project ECHO for National Cancer Control Plan Implementation
The International Cancer Control Partnership (ICCP) Project ECHO for National Cancer Control Plan Implementation convenes countries in the implementation stage of their national cancer control plan, bringing together country-level participants and global cancer control experts in a bi-directional learning environment. Using the Project ECHO technology-enabled collaborative learning model, the ICCP ECHO convenes for monthly hour-long ECHO sessions, and asynchronously through discussion boards and direct technical assistance. The curriculum follows the evidence-based building blocks for cancer control implementation with input from regional experts and participants on key areas of technical need. The main implementation strategies covered include:
Improving data collection and use of data for NCCP implementation
- National coordination of cancer control efforts and partners
- Importance of costing, financing, and allocating for NCCPs
- Mobilizing the healthcare workforce
- Use of data for monitoring, evaluation, and research
- Improving service delivery, implementing system changes
- Resource mobilization and allocation
