14.3  Identifying and mobilising resources for health education

For health education activities to reach the stated goals and objectives, they must be supported with appropriate resources. In this section, you will have the opportunity to learn more about some sources of health education-related resources, and how to mobilise them.

There are several different types of resources that may be used in health education activities. They can be broadly classified into three items:

1. Personnel or labour power
2. Material resources, including educational materials
3. Financial resources.

We will look at each of these in turn.
