The team at KU has been conducting scientific work to study how collaborative efforts create conditions - changes in communities and systems - to improve population-level outcomes. The team has been working on building a health global resource for capacity building - the 7000 page internet-based Community Tool Box.

Scientific and technical collaboration is underway between KU and the Faculty of Health Sciences; co-learning about community/youth empowerment in the AUB's Youth Mental Health Project in the Burj al-Barajneh Camp, and cultural adaptation and translation of an Arabic version of the Community Tool Box as a capacity-building resource for the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region.
