Description:

The USAID-funded Capacity Project established the Global Alliance for Pre-Service Education (GAPS) to provide an online forum to discuss issues related to teaching and acquiring competence in family planning, with a focus on developing countries’ health related training institutions. The success of the Global Alliance for Nursing and Midwifery’s ongoing web-based community of practice provided a strong example of the successful use of this medium to reach many participants in a range of settings.
