AMMnet seminar: Exploring the MESA Resource Hub: A Living Library of Malaria and Malaria-Related Resources and Tools

Seminar Overview

This presentation featured the MESA Resource Hub, a dynamic and living library of malaria and malaria-related resources. The session showcased how the Hub facilitates knowledge exchange and capacity strengthening, outlining its structure and key functionalities. It demonstrated how to explore curated resources by type, theme, source, or country, and showed how to move seamlessly from the Hub to interconnected platforms such as MESA Track and the MESA Correspondents Program.

The presentation also highlights materials of particular relevance to the AMMnet community, including the dedicated AMMnet Recommended Resources page and the Training Resource Hub, for which feedback is being sought prior to its launch.
