In 2007, IANPHI published the landmark
Framework for the Creation and Development of NPHIs (pdf, 289 KB) .
By describing – for the first time – the Core Attributes and Core Functions that help define NPHIs, this document organizes thinking about NPHIs and provides a shared language and construct for discussing and assessing NPHIs and supporting their development.
Complementing the Framework is the NPHI Toolkit
, an on-line source of materials for strengthening and creating NPHIs. The Toolkit is an evolving resource that IANPHI will continue to modify and adapt to meet users’ needs.
