Photoshare Project Update
Dear Colleagues,
UPDATE: Photoshare, a service of K4H
It’s a pleasure to announce Knowledge for Health (K4H), the new USAID health information project awarded to Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs. K4H is the follow-on project to The INFO Project which provided Photoshare services since 2002.
Under K4H, Photoshare will continue to facilitate image sharing among photographers and health communication professionals worldwide. The project will encourage the use of a broad range of visual resources as well as maintain and expand Photoshare’s web platform, request services, and annual events. We look forward to your continued collaboration in advancing the vital role of photography and other visual recourses in communicating international health and development.
Stay tuned for further updates. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Best Regards,
David Alexander, Photoshare
K4H Project Announcement
K4H is a world-wide knowledge exchange and use project, to improve the provision of family planning/reproductive health (FP/RH) and other health services in developing countries using proven knowledge management approaches. The project’s purpose is to transfer knowledge to health care decision-makers and program managers in developing countries—people whose actions affect service provision and actual providers of services. K4H will be led by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Center for Communication Programs in collaboration with Family Health International (FHI) and Management Sciences for Health (MSH).
Priority Areas:
The project will provide global leadership in knowledge synthesis, exchange and use for USAID’s health activities, with particular emphasis on FP/RH, as well as in the development of high-quality, medically and scientifically accurate content that can be linguistically and culturally adapted for local use.
