Ministry of Health – From Ngaire’s desk
September already! Highlights of what’s been happening and news to look out for.
SHOPP Edition 15 – September 2015 Edition
Kia ora! Talofa lava! Kia orana! Hey!
Welcome to the latest edition of SHOPP! We’re a little later than usual, but thanks to everyone for their contributions.
Improvements we’re making
We’re wanting to make SHOPP more accessible and relevant for anyone working in sexual and reproductive health and related services. You’ll notice more headlines throughout articles so you can absorb information quicker and check its usefulness for your work. And in true Results-based Accountability style we’re gaining feedback through a rating system at the end of each article about whether you are any better off for having read the article. (And in RBA fashion we’ll also be tweaking the ratings to see if we’re asking the right questions to have meaningful results!).
How you can participate in SHOPP
As always, you’re invited to leave comments or start discussions by leaving comments in articles or on this page.
Keep warm and keep up the amazing work!
Mauri tū, Mauri ora!
