VCoPs, such as the Africa Cancer ECHO, have the potential to contribute to human resource capacity-building for cancer control in Africa through accessible and convenient peer learning, professional networking and collaboration. However, the identification and use of more robust evaluation tools and methods may provide a more comprehensive assessment of all of their benefits, including short and long-term outcomes.
