Through the K4Health eToolkit Application, K4Health is working with partner organizations in various countries to strengthen their capacity to capture and organize locally relevant resources in a central repository, called eToolkits, as well as to disseminate that information to their audiences and networks. These eToolkits contain local research findings, national policies and guidelines, program innovations, and experiences of what works locally. 

Our eToolkit Application allows subject matter experts to develop online toolkits without the need for specialized IT skills. This eToolkits Builder Training Kit contains training resources, guides, checklists, and other materials that will walk you through the process of building your toolkit, both conceptually as you think about how to structure and organize your toolkit and technically as you learn to use the eToolkit Application.

Use this kit as a reference whenever you have a question. If you cannot find an answer to a question, email us at: toolkits@k4health.org.
