The First Five Years
To achieve these objectives, Lifting The Burden will exploit whatever opportunities are presented, and create others in order to observe the Campaign's priorities. However, needs in highly-developed countries including USA and those of Western Europe will not be overlooked.
In its first 5 years, Lifting The Burden expects to have:
- built fully-formed and easily functioning networks;
- acquired objective knowledge of the headache burden in most of the world;
- developed and tested protocols for filling the knowledge gaps;
- established dialogue with change agents in all geographical areas of agreed priority;
- set up at least one beacon interventional project that will have served as methodological pilots.
