CURRENT TARSC TRAINING ACTIVITIES

Community based training

Following an international meeting in July 2011 that TARSC was a cofacilitator of, there will be an African regional meeting in October 2011 to interact with practitioners from the region. TARSC is also interested in capacities for budget monitoring and in linking in the region with those implementing budget monitoring as a means of promoting equity and social determinants of health.
