We aim to support our members to become more sustainable and have a greater impact towards their mission. This year we have provided a capacity building programme at the 5th Global Patients Congress; re-launched our Twinning Programme; provided tools, information and workshops through our Regional Programme and guided members through the processes of the World Health Organization in our Mentor Programme. We have also shared regular information to support your work through our capacity building article series.

Information on fundraising, advocacy, partnerships, communications, social media, project management and project planning has been published in this series and is also available on the Patients’ Exchange – an IAPO member only platform.

To learn how to make the most of your IAPO membership, join IAPO’s Member Induction Webinar. We look forward to an exciting year ahead in 2013 and will share information on upcoming capacity building opportunities for IAPO members soon.
