 WACC aims to meet its objectives by developing:
WACC International Network
WACC will act as the ‘umbrella’ of national and international
member organizations that are united in their commitment
to eradicate cervical cancer. They range from patient support
and advocacy groups to professional and non-governmental
associations in the fields of cancer, gynecology, women’s
health and public health promotion and education.
The WACC Network will work with member organizations to
assist them in helping the women in their countries, identifying
what is lacking in current educational initiatives and where
effort is most needed.
By initiating and co-ordinating core projects, WACC can help
member organizations to participate and share the benefits
of activities that might be beyond the resources of individual
organizations acting alone.
WACC Health Education
Educational projects will be organized – using electronic
media where possible. WACC will:
 |
Expand the WACC website, to:
 |
Provide accurate, reliable and up-to-date information
on cervical cancer, its cause, how it can be prevented
and – when disease has already developed – how it is
managed
|
|
Develop a ‘library’ of educational resources – tailored
for different audience needs – that can be downloaded
from the WACC website by member organizations and
adapted to national requirements, to supplement their
own materials, as needed
|
|
Set up an E-Bookshop to disseminate publications about
cervical cancer, as well as raise funds for WACC
|
|
Distribute an E-News and alerts |
|
|
Organize educational and information-sharing conferences,
targeting educators (school teachers, professionals working
with patient organisations and public health associations) in
collaboration with member associations. |
