Pacific Resources for Education and Learning

Pacific Resources for Education and Learning (PREL) and the Republic of Palau Ministry of Health will work together to develop a plan for the creation of a regional, health-focused digital library. This project will undertake a systematic planning process for a digital project that will address specific health planning and policy information access challenges in the Republic of Palau, a Pacific Island Nation 500 miles east of the Philippines. The goals of this planning grant are to conduct an assessment to identify and categorize key information needs, identify existing resources available for the project and the required personnel expertise, and draft a project plan including promotion and evaluation components. Evaluation activities will assess the effect of the proposed digital library project on its intended beneficiaries.
