GDO resource submission form

Thank you for considering submitting a resource to the Global Dementia Observatory (GDO) Knowledge Exchange platform.

The GDO knowledge exchange platform contains key resources to support the implementation of the global dementia action plan and enhance countries’ response to dementia. It provides a space for all relevant stakeholders to share resources (e.g. policy, guidelines and practice examples for dementia) to facilitate mutual learning and promote the exchange of good practices in the area of dementia. All registered users of the platform may comment on published resources.

All resources are submitted by users of the platform and mapped to at least one of the strategic action areas of the global dementia action plan. Automated filters allow users to search for country-, region- or language-specific resources, narrow down their searches by types of resources (e.g. policies, trainings, tools, practice examples) or explore settings and target audiences on which the resources focus.

What do I need in order to submit a resource to the GDO Knowledge Exchange platform? 

1. Authorisation to share the resource 
2. A hyperlink to access the resource
3. Provide a short abstract describing the resource 
4. Provide details about the resource such as target audience, scope, aims, etc
5. Complete the online GDO resource submission form 

Please note that only resources that are available at no-cost will be considered for inclusion in the Platform.  

What will happen after I submit the resource?  

All submitted resources undergo a comprehensive peer-review process to ensure that they meet developed quality and good practice criteria. 

• Your submission will be screened by WHO. 
• After successful screening, the resource will be sent to the GDO KE peer review panel and/or GDO KE Focus Group of people with lived experience. They will assess the content, value and feasibility of the resource. 
• If your submission passes the multi-step process, the resource will be published on the Platform. 
• Formal reviews of published resources will be made available online. Additionally, registered users of the GDO KE Platform may post comments about the resource using their unique logins. 
• The time between submission of the resource to completion of the review process is aimed to be about three months.

Please note that the survey will time out after one hour. To ensure that you don't lose any data, we encourage you to save your responses. To help you with the review, you can access the questions that you'll need to answer here.
