The WHO IGAP Toolkit
The implementation of IGAP by countries requires a practical approach, which will look different in every country according to the needs of the population and the context.
The IGAP toolkit accompanies and operationalizes the action plan. The toolkit complements the development of national plans and strategies for neurological disorders by listing actions and suggesting tools and resources that can be utilised to realise fully the vision of IGAP.
How to implement IGAP?
The IGAP toolkit, developed by WHO with financial contributions from WFN, will support Ministries of Health and other stakeholders including civil society and professional associations to put into motion the strategic objectives of the IGAP.
The toolkit consists of practical, step-by step modules to support implementation of the action plan and has 90 unique tools and resources from WHO and partner organizations to help stakeholders customize IGAP actions to their context and take concrete steps for achieving the IGAP targets.
Following the structure of the 5 strategic objectives of IGAP, the toolkit lists specific intersectoral actions to help stakeholders develop their national implementation plans and gives step-by-step directions.
All actions taken to achieve the IGAP targets must have at heart people with neurological disorders, their opinions, perspectives and best interests.
