Plenary with UNICEF: Sharing experiences to identify and reach “zero-dose” children and under-vaccinated communities in urban areas.
We are delighted to announce that UNICEF and The Geneva Learning Foundation are once again joining forces to support Teach to Reach 9.
This Teach to Reach 9 session in partnership with UNICEF focused on having participants share specific experiences confronting and responding to the challenge of reaching zero-dose children in urban areas. As the facilitator explained, "We're interested in having you tell us about a specific situation and what you did in response to it."
Some compelling stories shared included:
- Felicity from Nigeria who held community awareness campaigns to address parental misconceptions: "We had to have a kind of community awareness and with that it has really helped us go a long way. I will have more children being immunized."
- Udoji from Nigeria who used geospatial analysis to identify areas with many zero-dose children: "We develop an ODK using the geospatial analysis where the supervisor each team that have they go out for vaccination the supervisor will record the children immunize we then we have the choice position of that team where they have work and when they start and when they end their work."
- Vishesh from India who deployed nursing students to conduct house-to-house registration of zero-dose children: "More than thousand nursing students were deployed in that city they went house to house and they registered all zero to five year children electronically and then they were followed up and vaccinated."
UNICEF Guides on the side emphasized holistic planning, understanding the heterogeneity of urban populations, targeted communication strategies, and leveraging technology and partnerships to identify and reach zero-dose children. They provided guidance and suggestions in response to the real-world experiences shared. -
You are cordially invited to join Teach to Reach 9 Insights Live with Dr Orin Levine.

“Do you consider climate change a threat to the health of those you serve?” That was the key question posed to over 4,700 attending health professionals at The Geneva Learning Foundation’s 9th Teach to Reach event.
Learn more: https://www.learning.foundation/cop28
As Kingsley Nniere, a community health worker from Ghana, explained, “Climate change is actually a threat…with severe downpour of rains…most of the rivers are flooded and most of the ghatas are flooded. And…it brings a lot of mosquitoes and these mosquitoes bite the community members and…gives them malaria.”
Other health workers echoed Kingsley’s sentiments. Dr. Tuusime Ramadan, a retired doctor in Uganda, highlighted how “climate change has caused problems to very many people we serve,” including floods destroying “homes, destroy crops, destroy houses,” drought killing livestock, and storms damaging health facilities. Participants explored connections between environmental changes - from drinking water access to extreme heat - and specific health impacts in their communities.
The virtual session featured climate and health perspectives shared directly from the frontlines in Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, and beyond. Health staff described their struggles to treat and protect patients amidst these mounting climate challenges.
The discussion then shifted to exploring potential solutions, with speakers weighing in on “What can you do as a health professional?” and “What do you want your country and global partners to do?”
If you’re interested to hear these urgent firsthand testimonies on dealing with climate change impacts from dedicated health workers worldwide, then be sure to watch the full climate and health session video from Teach to Reach 9.
There is a lot more to learn from health workers about the impact of climate on health.

“If health workers do not share their challenges and solutions, we are bound to fail.”
Most significant learning that contributes to improved performance takes place outside of formal training.
It occurs through informal and incidental forms of learning between peers.
Effective use of peer learning requires realizing how much we can learn from each other (peer learning), experiencing the power of defying distance to solve problems together (remote learning), and feeling a growing sense of belonging to a community (social learning), emergent across country borders and health system levels (networked learning).
At the ASTMH annual meeting Symposium organized by Julie Jacobson, two TGLF Alumnae, María Monzón from Argentina and Ruth Allotey from Ghana, will be sharing their analyses and reflections of how they turned peer learning into action, results, and impact.
In his presentation, Reda Sadki, president of The Geneva Learning Foundation (TGLF), will explore:
1. What do we need to understand about digital learning?
2. Networked learning: rethinking learning architecture in the Digital Age
3. Social learning: peer learning is about making human connections
4. Practical examples of TGLF peer learning systems for WHO, Wellcome, UNICEF, and Bridges to Development that connect learning to change, results, and impact.
6. Emergent peer learning systems driven by local practitioner and community needs and priorities.
Join this #TropMed23 Peer Learning symposium on Day 2 of the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH).

ZDLH Insights Live is a rapid, fast-paced discussion of what we learned from the zero-dose experiences of Bangladesh and Mali in the first ZDLH-X 1 inter-country peer learning event on 31 May 2023, organized by the Gavi Zero-Dose Learning Hub (ZDLH) and facilitated by The Geneva Learning Foundation (TGLF).
We will share highlights and key learning points, and invite participating zero-dose practitioners from Bangladesh, Mali, and other countries to reflect on what they learned from the inaugural May 2023 exchange.

English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgQfHwRTc6U
En français: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEfpzZW8ipU
What is ZDLH-X and why does it matter?
The ZDLH-X 1 event held on 31 May 2023 by the Gavi Zero-Dose Learning Hub (ZDLH) was a breakthrough online peer learning exchange focused on sharing experiences and insights related to identifying and reaching zero-dose children and missed communities.
The event was organized by Gavi’s Zero-Dose Learning Hub (ZDLH) initiative using The Geneva Learning Foundation (TGLF)’s innovative peer learning methodologies. It brought together nearly 2000 immunization practitioners from 84 countries, with a focus on Bangladesh and Mali.
What can we learn from ZDLH-X?
It provided a unique opportunity for frontline health workers and immunization staff at sub-national levels to directly share their challenges, successes, and innovations related to addressing zero-dose issues.
Participants could contribute before, during and after the event - sharing experiences, learning from peers, and reflecting on how to apply insights in their own context.
What is different about ZDLH-X?
The interactive format encouraged direct exchanges between peers rather than passive learning, which is more impactful based on learning science. Facilitators and experts played a supporting role.
Over 600 experiences and insights were shared related to identifying hard-to-reach populations, community engagement, service delivery strategies, dealing with conflict, vaccine hesitancy and more.
84% of participants from Bangladesh and Mali said the event changed them as a professional and 69% said it helped their practice.
Key innovations that made it a breakthrough:
- Leveraging digital platforms to connect a community of practitioners across hierarchy, geographies and languages.
- Fostering peer-to-peer exchange as co-learners focused on a shared goal.
- Building on experiences before and after the live event as part of a learning continuum.
- Primarily sub-national participants sharing field innovations rarely heard at international events.

Movement for Immunization Agenda 2030 (#IA2030): Leaders share their journey from ideas to impact at Teach to Reach 8 on 16 June 2023
Let’s go back in time to the 7th of March 2022.
And many of you in the room, attending In Teach To Reach 8 today, in our Zoom studio, know that was the date when you joined the Movement for Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030).
Now, this was a four-month learning cycle in which you worked intensively together to do a number of things, starting by sharing ideas and practices and figuring out what the ideas and practices of others meant to you.
Moving on to situation analysis, diagnosing the root cause of an immunization challenge that you face where you work, in your facility, in your district, in your region, in your country, if you work at the national level.
Moving on to then mapping out corrective actions.
This was in May 2022.
Over a thousand members of the Movement for IA 2030 developed action plans.
These action plans were finalized on the 17th of June, 2022 at Teach to Reach 6.
Here we are now, over a year later.
And we’re going to hear in this next segment, what have leaders of the Movement achieved? How has it turned out? Has it actually made a difference? These are the kinds of questions that we want to explore now.
Before we do, we’re pleased to share the first three IA 2030 Movement implementation case studies. You’re going to see three faces of leaders that you may or may not know, starting with Wasnam Faye from Senegal, Last night, a midwife in Senegal was sent off, shipped off, to run a health post in rural Senegal with little experience of immunization and country backup.
And she says it was a colleague, a fellow scholar, a fellow leader of the Movement for IA2030, who showed her how to keep an immunization registry, who showed her the basics of running her facility.
With the support of that scholar and other leaders, she’s been able to take the Penta 3 coverage from 8% when she arrived to more than 80%.
Think about it.
And she says that many of the ideas that she used came from the Movement and from Teach to Reach.
For example, she introduced vaccine angels as community liaison points, so peer educators, caregivers, who function as peer educators.
And that idea she first heard at Teach to Reach.
The second case study of IA2030 implementation is that of Frank Monga, District Medical Officer in Lumumbashi.
Now he’s been participating in the TGLF network. He introduced a token scheme to catch up on zero-dose children in the DRC. He was selected in July 2019 to lead the national network in the country and this network has grown to the point where the Ministry of Health, the national planners attend the meetings led by Frank and his peers because it is an incredibly useful way to get information from all over the country.
Think about it.
These are achievements of leaders of the Movement for Immunization Agenda 2030.
Our Movement is global.
And so the third case study is Maréa Fernanda Monzón, who runs a primary health care center in Corrientes, Argentina.
And she’s focused on enhancing coverage in a nearby slum area where the population is not motivated to seek immunization services.
These three case studies are available now.
We share the links with all Teach for Each participants.
Go, you may be inspired, you may find useful ideas and practices that you can use in your implementation.
We’re now going to turn to some of the implementers, some of the leaders of IA 2030 who have been working for more than a year now on their implementing their action plans.
We’ve recently asked them to share an acceleration report, what we call Acceleration to Impact, in which we asked them to update us on how their implementation is going.
And for those of you who are new to the Movement, who have not joined yet this Movement for immunization agenda 2030, the world’s strategy adopted unanimously at the World Health Assembly in 2020.
Well, you’re going to receive the invitation as a Teach to Reach participant to join this Movement and also develop your own IA 2030 action plan, begin thinking through that process from learning to action to results ultimately to impact. -
Frontline health professionals discuss the open-source Manifesto for global health at Teach to Reach 8 on 16 June 2023
On June 7th, 2023, The Double Loop published version 1.0 of An open-source manifesto for global health and called for Leaders of the Movement for Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030) to contribute their insights to develop a community-owned version 2.0. The response has been overwhelming.
In this plenary session, hear insights from frontline health professionals who discussed this Manifesto at Teach to Reach 8, the global networking event connecting over 16,000 immunization and other primary health care staff from more than 80 countries.

Learn more: Why an open-source manifesto for global health?
https://redasadki.me/2023/06/09/why-an-open-source-manifesto-for-global-health/
Today, we share an open-source Manifesto for how health services could develop in ways that we think would make them more effective, recognizing health workers and communities – and the expertise and experience they hold because they are “there every day” – at the centre of public health systems.
No vision or strategy can or should be developed as a pronouncement by a single organization of how things should be.
This Manifesto is an open-source draft because, in today’s complex world, we tackle challenges that no one country or organization can possibly overcome alone.
For such a manifesto to be meaningful requires the participation, and contribution of those on the frontlines of global health, in dialogue with global, regional, and country leaders.
This is why we are inviting you – along with more than 10,000 members of the Movement for Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030 – to bring to life and shape this Manifesto. -

The global immunization community is now focused on “the big catch-up”, dealing with recovery of immunization services from the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, as countries – and immunization staff on the frontlines – work toward the goals of Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030).
Today, we share an open-source Manifesto for how health services could develop in ways that we think would make them more effective, recognizing health workers and communities – and the expertise and experience they hold because they are “there every day” – at the centre of public health systems.

https://redasadki.me/2023/06/09/why-an-open-source-manifesto-for-global-health/
Teach to Reach participants will share experiences around the Manifesto: How has your work been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic? How has sharing experience with colleagues who are facing challenges like yours helped you in your daily work? What will health system transformation look like where you work? How has the digital revolution affected your work?
Then, Leaders of the Movement for Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030) will share their success stories, one year after the launch of the Movement, as well as lessons learned and remaining challenges.
Then, we will discuss the following themes: Why do we work for health? What is the future of health? What is your greatest challenge to successful vaccination?
We'll also listen to experiences around specific questions: What have you done to make HPV vaccination a success? What's the most difficult thing about vaccination in a humanitarian context? Have you used oral cholera vaccine (OCV) in response to a cholera outbreak? - Laat meer zien
