BD HPN eToolkit

eToolkit is an effective tool in communicating behavior change. It is a digital library that is enriched with relevant information regarding the behavior change communication of health, population and nutrition. With the cooperation of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Bangladesh Knowledge Management Initiative (BKMI) has created this digital resource to provide information about health, population and nutrition. All of the materials in this eToolkit (which include printed and audio/video materials) had been selected by the subject matter experts of Bureau of Health education (BHE), Institute of Public Health (IPHN), Information education motivation (IEM) and vetted by the field workers to make sure that they are technically accurate and usable in the field. This is a rich source of information for communication and counseling of behavior change as the e-toolkit contains updated information useful to family planning and nutrition promoters themselves. The source of information can further strengthen their knowledge and skills. As a result, it would help them to promote healthy lifestyle practices in their designated communities.

In order to assist the regular BCC and counseling activities, BKMI has provided the Shurjer Hashi clinics with 282 notebooks containing pre-installed health, population and nutrition based e-toolkit and e- learning courses/programs. The toolkit can help the clinic to carry out their regular BCC and counseling activities.
