eForums on HIV and TB: A toolkit for launching, moderating and managing a high quality eForum eForums are electronic discussion forums for information sharing, networking and dialogue on HIV, AIDS, TB, and related health and development issues. Health & Development Networks (HDN) conceptualised and launched the first eForum in 1996 and since then has established regional, national, and issue-based forums to facilitate more unified, grounded action for change.

eForums on HIV and TB was created to document best practice for developing and utilising eForums, informed by over a decade of cumulative experience. It is an instructive resource for civil society organisations working in the HIV and TB fields, but has the potential to be applied to a range of health and development issues. Its goal is to provide organisations working in health and development with tools to launch, moderate and manage high-quality eForums that provide a safe space for civil society focused information sharing, networking and dialogue.

The toolkit is intended for international, regional and national civil society organisations who recognise the power of information and the significance of a transparent, broad-based communication mechanism that enhances civil society responses to HIV and TB.
