4. ACSM Training Curriculum
5-day workshop – "Overcoming barriers to TB control: the role of advocacy, communication, and social mobilization".
Curriculum for training aimed at providing country-level staff with specific knowledge, skills, and resources to plan, implement, and evaluate effective ACSM interventions linked to specific TB control objectives.
Curriculum used in two Regional Workshops (Tanzania and Sri Lanka).
Produced by PATH, but available for all partners… use at? (need to see with PATH).
one thing that is important to mention is that the curriculum is generic and focuses on the three concepts and how these can be used to address the program gaps, however prior to any training it should be reviewed and country specific data must be added.

5. M&E for ACSM
Objective: to provide practical guidance on monitoring and evaluation of ACSM activities.
Document clarifies key M&E terms and shows examples of practical applications of M&E concepts for ACSM, including the development of M&E plans as a critical element of overall project planning.
