Submissions for the Public Library

Criteria

1. Are all the appropriate fields adequately completed? There should be an evaluation plan with some evaluation results when projects have been implemented for over one year.
2. Is it written in a way that someone else could understand it? Is the language accessible and appropriate?
3. Has the lead organisation consented to the program being published in the Public library?
4. Are the program goals, objectives and strategies sufficiently clear? And do they relate to the needs assessment and program structure?
5. Is the project based on accepted health promotion principles? That is, does it:
   a. Address the broader determinants of health
   b. Base activities on the best available data and evidence
   c. Act to reduce social inequities and injustice
   d. Emphasise active consumer and community participation
   e. Empower individuals and communities
   f. Explicitly consider difference in gender and culture
   g. Work in collaboration
6. Does it include a mix of strategies or interventions that aim to impact on both individuals as well as populations? This generally means that activities and publications are broadly accessible to the target group(s), not just to people registered with the organisation.
