What is here. The CPPDC Resource library collects the materials produced through its initiatives in four sections: Desk Aids (toolkits, fact sheets, guides), Publications (newsletters, journals, reports), Presentations (slide decks and recordings from webinars, summits and the Symposium) and Helpful Links. Every resource has a one-paragraph summary, its presenters and an audience, and CPPDC’s team adds new items after each event.
