Toward Impact in Health:
A Workshop on Quality and Integrated Sexual, Maternal, and
Reproductive Health Programs in Sub-Saharan Africa
Arusha, Tanzania | 2-6 May 2011
Structured Gallery Walk
GENERAL INFORMATION
Session objectives:
For this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to share their program activities, lessons,
accomplishments, and challenges during a Structured Gallery Walk using a poster format. Each
poster will focus on how your work in health contributes to your country’s Program Approach
strategy.
Poster: Each country office will develop 1 poster to be displayed at a Structured Gallery Walk
during the workshop. We will arrange for posters to be printed prior to the workshop.
Assistance: The CARE USA sexual, reproductive, and maternal health team will provide assistance
with this activity prior to the workshop and in Tanzania. We hope this will be an interesting,
entertaining, and educational activity.
If you have any questions, please contact Megan Cohen (mcohen@care.org).

well as divide responsibilities. In this case you should use the Program Approach Reflection
Tool as a guide.
2. Fill out the poster abstract – Each team will turn in a brief abstract for their presentation
including the technical and programmatic elements the audience will learn. The abstract

3. Create a draft of the poster – Using the guide How to Design a Poster, create a rough
draft. Teams should discuss what information, photos and graphs should be included.
4. Create the poster– Once you have gathered all the parts of the poster; create the poster
using the worksheet provided for you (PowerPoint or Publisher).
5. Revise and Practice– Revise, refine and practice your presentation.
