FPD wishes to thank Mr Rick Stephen for compiling the course content. 

The development of the short course has been a collective effort. The Foundation for Professional Development would like to acknowledge and thank the Centre for Communication Impact (CCI) and the Centre for Diseases Control (CDC) for permission and adaptation of the Zenzele Communicating about ART Adherence toolkit. Some of the content of the content within the Zenzele Communicating about ART Adherence toolkit is based on a manual previously developed for the University Research Commission / USAID TB SA project, with advice on interpersonal communication for healthcare workers on TB treatment adherence.
