Handicap International had requested the support of the Constellation to adapt its approach to diabetes. The initiative started in April 2006 in Manila (Philippines) where the approach was presented to Handicap International and its partners.
Burundi, India and Nicaragua decided to carry the approach forward and, with our support, to adapt the AIDS Self Assessment tool to diabetes.
At a workshop held in Lyon during November 2006, representatives of the diabetes response in these three countries met to exchange their experiences on the use of the Diabetes Self Assessment tool and refine it.
A poster summarizing these efforts was presented during the 19th International Diabetes Federation Conference in Cape Town.
