Welcome to Resources in Integrated Care (RIIC)
for Morbidity Management and Disability
Prevention (4MMDP)
RIIC-4MMDP is a free, open access, online "self-archiving" repository dedicated to sharing best practices, lessons
learned, and exploring new strategies for MMDP with the wider MMDP community. The primary goal is to aid countries
as they build capacity for planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating MMDP activities. As acknowledged by
others in the fight against disabling diseases, the most important tool for achieving goals in disease control efforts is
knowledge promoting its enhancement, sharing and utilization (Koporc 2013). Disease control efforts are
enhanced when integrated with MMDP activities (Cantey, Rout et al. 2010).
To achieve its goal, RIIC-4MMDP hopes to centralize all MMDP content with a custom interface that makes it easy to
find what you need and to navigate through it (every word in each document is searchable). In addition to published
research, content includes contributions developed by National Ministries of Health and Education and practical field
materials produced by NGOs and their technical consultants, materials that are not easily accessible and searchable by
other means.
