Community Therapeutic Care Inter-Agency Meeting, February 28-March 2, 2005
FANTA collaborated with partner organizations Save the Children USA and Concern Worldwide to coordinate a three-day Inter-agency Meeting on Community Therapeutic Care (CTC) in Washington, DC. The meeting provided a forum for implementing agencies, academics, and donors to explore issues and challenges in the implementation of CTC, and to develop mechanisms to ensure quality and coordination in future CTC programs. Specifically, the meeting had two primary objectives: 1) learn from current CTC field experience to identify issues and challenges in implementation, scale up, and transitioning; and 2) establish cross-agency mechanisms for improving and ensuring the quality of CTC implementation.
Sessions included presentations from a number of implementing agencies, as well as donors, and emphasized experience to date in Ethiopia, Sudan, Malawi and Bangladesh. The presentations and meeting agenda are available for download.
