In a former University of Saskatchewan partnership, with the Massinga Centre in Inhambane Province, the Massinga Centre produced a series of manuals for working with communities on various topics in community health. The Portuguese manuals were made available in print and electronic form to all health training institutes (IdFs) in the country.
