This paper is intended as a background paper for a training module. The theoretical and conceptual basis of eight of the nine different initiatives and their tools are presented as well as their linkages, both verbally and in diagrammatic form. These are presented in a short paper that would also serve as a stand-alone document, of use to two distinct audiences: policy makers and field staff.
