The NJIA Team are delighted to announce the launch of a new website to share strategies for cervical cancer prevention. The website is a collaborative platform that aims to consolidate different ideas and tools being used by health charities, NGOs and governments to reduce cervical cancer in low resource settings.
The website can be accessed here: www.cervicalcancerresources.org/
The website showcases solutions that have been developed through the NJIA collaboration in Tanzania, India and Uganda, and to showcase ideas and tools that have been developed by other organisations working on cervical cancer around the world.
Since 2015, Pepal’s NJIA programme has made a huge contribution to cervical cancer prevention through leadership and innovation in Kagera Region, Tanzania. Our success in Tanzania inspired us to broaden our horizons; in 2019 NJIA arrived in Varanasi Division of Uttar Pradesh State, India; more recently expanding to Rwenzori Region, Uganda, in 2021.
NJIA is a cross-sectoral collaboration between Pepal, F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG, McBride & Lucius, several NGO partners, and government health leaders working in the public health sectors in India, Tanzania and Uganda.
Throughout the NJIA journey we have noticed a common theme surrounding a general lack of easily-accessible resources, strategies, solutions and tools relating to cervical cancer prevention, specifically in low-resource settings.
Therefore, the intention behind the website is to draw together a wide range of resources that relate to all aspects of cervical cancer prevention. The site is intended to be an accessible hub for people operating within the space at many different levels, ranging from service providers to policy makers, and many others
We would like to extend the invitation to any organisation or NGO that operates in the cervical cancer space to share any ideas and resources that can be beneficial to increasing knowledge on prevention strategies in low-resource settings.
