Here's a story about how members of the Changemakers community are using mobile phone games to educate the world about HIV/AIDS:
Like many trailblazing solutions, Hilmi Quraishi's wildly popular mobile phone games that teach players about AIDS found success through not just hard work, but a novel idea and a bit of serendipity. The novel idea was approaching education about this very serious problem through the universal language of entertainment and using a widely-accessible technology to do it.

Tiyatien Health, a winner in the Rethinking Mental Health competition, is treating the effects of decades of brutal war in Liberia by training non-doctor health workers and clinicians to work directly with citizens of one of the poorest countries on Earth. The founders are survivors of Liberia's civil war and people living with HIV/AIDS.
Tiyatien Health trained the first non-physicians to administer anti-retroviral therapy in Liberia,and provided the first-ever HIV/AIDS treatments in southeastern Liberia, the poorest corner of the country. Now it is expanding beyond providing public HIV/AIDS treatment to rural communities by working to reverse decades of untreated depression and epilepsy.

Lancement important
Working with rural schools, local Ministries of Education and Agriculture, DIG is establishing an agriculture and early childhood feeding program for primary schools across Western Kenya. It begins with a seed that turns into a school garden, tree nurseries, and a learning ground...
Problème
For the poor rural communities in Western Kenya, improving nutritional status is essential for health, well-being, & learning. Many families struggle to fight poverty, chronic hunger & disease. The school provides a perfect intervention point for young children who are suffering from undernutrition & poverty that impacts their ability to learn & grow healthy. The school garden can begin to redress food security, education, & health issues.
Solution
With the flow of resources dwindling, rural development initiatives call for multi-dimensional and cost-effective responses. The school provides an opportunity to feed the most vulnerable, teach students agricultural skills that can empower themselves, their families & feed the future while linking nutrition, food & health.
DIG's program begins by involving students, PTA, school leadership & community elders in the planning. Then schools begin to repurpose unused land into fruit & wood trees, horticulture & stable crops, & develop a sustainable agriculture program integrated into the curriculum.
When harvests are ready food goes into an early childhood feeding program & cash from sales goes into a school scholarship fund.
Exemple
In response to global hunger, DIG has developed an action-oriented approach that encourages self-sufficiency, improved nutrition, and an understanding of how food is linked to health. At four primary schools in poverty stricken area of Nyanza Province, Western Kenya DIG is working1) to improve school performance through producing nutritious food for students on school property, 2) generate income to support school activities and needy students, and 3) educate the broader community in sustainable agriculture through community outreach and home gardens. DIG with the school committees creates and implements a design for environmentally sustainable long-term food production through organic vegetable gardens, food forests and resource mgmt.
Impact social
An example of our impact can be seen at a DIG–assisted school garden, initiated with 39 students at the WISER Girls School in Kenya. The school has now provided more than 20,000 nutritionally improved school meals annually. Over 130 students practice the skills necessary to develop and maintain gardens at the school site and their homes.
In 2012 at Lwala (Nyanza Province), DIG's project has trained 184 people, built 417 home gardens, developed 26 community plots/groups, and implemented 4 demo-gardens at primary schools. On average, for every $100 invested in a household garden that family gained $300 from produce sales and money saved on food expenditures annually. Qualitatively, DIG continually sees students empowered through the program. Not only are they more active in school and have better attendance but they also apply their skills at home teaching family members.
Marché
DIG differs from other approaches because of our mutli-discplinary approach to improving nutrition through our school garden. The demonstration site has proven to be a unique and successful space for community fellowship & social exchange. This space serves as an intervention point for healthy messaging that promotes innovative solutions to a variety of local challenges. Through this exchange, students, parent & teachers collaboratively build a network of support that strengthens their capabilities necessary to improve their education the quality of their lives & transform their community.
Plan de viabilité
DIG ensures financial sustainability 3 ways: 1) involving local stakeholders in the whole process (community elders, school leadership, and local ministries), 2) using simple technologies that are easily replicated with minor expenses (simple irrigation, green manures, open pollinating seeds, local resources) and 3) creating income generation activities through the agriculture program (sell tree seedlings, fire wood and pole wood, local markets).
Histoire de votre fondation
Anise was walking home from school & was raped. When her family found out she was raped they disowned her & when Anise went to health clinic she found out she was pregnant & HIV positive. When Anise joined DIG’s project, she was defeated. But after working in the garden alongside other individuals who were HIV positive, learning new skills & sharing stories, Anise slowly realized she was not alone and began to rebuild her life. She started taking her medications, began growing and selling her own produce, and became a productive member of her community and school. Her family allowed her to move back home and she gave birth to a healthy baby girl. It was her story that first made us realize the true impact of a garden.

This added capacity would allow us to improve and scale up our existing service. DIG would eventually like to see every primary school in Kenya have an early childhood feeding program and a school sustainable agriculture program. We do not currently have the capacity to work on a national level but DIG is now working with the MOA and MOE to develop pilot projects on the district level then hopefully with added support we can pilot it regionally and nationally in the future.

While partner notification is the most effective way to stop the spread of STDs, only 23% of partners are notified following a STD diagnosis. So They Can Know is a website to help people to notify their partners that they need to get tested, either in person or through informative anonymous emails. Sexual Health Innovations creates this and other web- and text-based technologies to improve sexual health and wellbeing.

Every year, over 3 million young Americans get infected with a curable sexually transmitted disease (STD) such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trichomonas. Most Americans with these STDs don’t know they are infected and don’t seek treatment. This results in needless ongoing transmission, particularly among 15 to 24 year-olds and racial/ethnic minorities, and serious reproductive health problems.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
One of the most effective strategies for addressing this problem is partner notification, which brings high-risk partners of diagnosed individuals in for testing and treatment. These partners tend to be around ten times more likely to be infected with an STD than the average person coming in for testing. Unfortunately, when people aren’t offered anonymous services they tend to notify only about half to a quarter of their at-risk partners.
So They Can Know (www.sotheycanknow.org) is a website that allows users to view tips, scripts, and videos about how to notify their partners, or send anonymous partner notification emails. These emails provide partners with relevant health information and links to locate nearby testing services.
Le système : décrivez un exemple spécifique montrant de quelle façon votre initiative fonctionne ; indiquez vos principales activités.
A friend was recently diagnosed with chlamydia. She went to the So They Can Know website for guidance on what to do. First, she wanted to know which of her past partners she should inform- information she found in our STD Info section. Next, she wanted to know how to tell them, guidance that she found in the website's Inform section. This particular woman opted to tell her partners herself.
If she had wanted to inform her partners anonymously, she could have selected her STD, previewed an anonymous notification email, entered her partners' email addresses, and hit "send". Her partners would have received an email saying they may have been exposed to chlamydia, that they probably wouldn't have symptoms, and other relevant information.

Public health departments in the United States often provide anonymous STD partner notification for HIV and syphilis, but few can afford to provide it for more common STDs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis.
There are a couple websites similar to So They Can Know in the United States, including inSPOT and Don't Spread It. Neither of them provide health information in their notifications, and they do not link partners to local testing services. Our research indicates that the casual nature of the inSPOT e-card turns people off, as does the graphic design of Don't Spread It.

This Entry is about (Issues)
Summary: What specific issue or problem does your Venture address?
VIH/SIDA y ETS. La Fundación Santa Lola, busca desarrollar conciencia entre jóvenes de 12 a 17 años sobre las enfermedades de transmisión sexual y especialmente el VIH/SIDA, por medio de charlas barriales en los lugares marginados de San Pedro de Macorís, así como la proyección de un documental sobre dicho tema y la difusión a través de radio, televisión y medios impresos de causas y consecuencias del tema en cuestión. Los temas serán Infecciones de Transmisión Sexual, enfermedades como sífilis, gonorrea, papiloma humano, especialmente el VIH/SIDA, tratamientos, formas de contagios y enfatizaremos las causas y consecuencias, de jóvenes para jóvenes.
Misson Statement: What will your venture do?
Las Charlas barriales. “De Joven a Joven para combatir el VIH/SIDA” en los barrios de San Pedro de Macorís, que consiste en impartir charlas de los temas de ETS y VIH/SIDA en las escuelas, juntas de vecino o iglesias, sobre el tema impacto. De cada barrio, poder sacar un resumen de lo más destacado y grabar al cabo del año, un Documental sobre el antes y el después, es decir los cambios que han recibido los participantes. Necesita una movilización de la misma comunidad y de los miembros de Santa Lola que captarán adeptos para que sean, además multiplicadores de nuestra acción. Santa Lola, llevará la charla, la desarrollará, seleccionará agentes multiplicadores y se evaluarán mensualmente, la cantidad de gente capacitada entre 12-17 años.
Le système : décrivez un exemple spécifique montrant de quelle façon votre initiative fonctionne ; indiquez vos principales activités.
1- Ocupa el tiempo de los/las jóvenes.
2- Involucra a las comunidades, juntas de vecinos, escuelas, iglesias, a desarrollar temas tabúes existentes en nuestras sociedades.
La principal causa de los embarazos en adolescencia y de las enfermedades de transmisión sexual entre jóvenes, es la iniciación temprana a la sexualidad sin conocer a grandes rasgos todos los aspectos relacionados a ello y, de igual forma, el espacio libre y sin actividades productivas en las que viven la mayor cantidad de jóvenes de la República Dominicana. Por ello, cuando se hace una charla dinámica (se le ocupa el tiempo a los jóvenes), pero también se educan y se comprometen a que forman parte de la Red de Seguimiento “Joven a Joven para combatir el VIH/SIDA”, por lo que se hace cada vez más impactante en las comunidades donde lo desarrollemos.
The Community: Define the community that you work on behalf of. What population is affected? Are there other organizations working in this space?
La comunidad de San Pedro de Macorís, en el aspecto local, dentro del municipio cabecera. El público objetivo del proyecto, son jóvenes de 12 a 17 años. La población, según las leyes 136-03 y 49-00 son para niños, niñas, adolescentes y jóvenes. Y existen jóvenes y organizaciones, que a nivel nacional trabajan el tema del VIH/SIDA, pero no con incidencia barrial, por lo menos en el municipio de San Pedro de Macorís, como lo pretende hacer la Fundación Santa Lola.
Founding Story: What inspired your venture? Why?
La Fundación Santa Lola empezó desde el 2005-2006, con temas de educación sexual a sus niños y niñas. Muchos de los cuales, hoy en día, siendo adolescentes han iniciado su activismo sexual, quedando en su gran mayoría infectados o embarazadas. De joven a joven es la mejor plataforma para transmitir la información de las causas y consecuencias de tener una relación sexual a destiempo y del VIH/SIDA. La mayor motivación es que, como los que se educaron antes no se les dio seguimiento y cayeron en el problema, ahora se eduque y se le dé seguimiento.

3- Se pretende capacitar a uno 1,5000 jóvenes de forma directa y unos 5,000 de manera indirecta a través de los multiplicadores.
4- El proyecto se evaluará de forma particular. A cada barrio se les entregará una evaluación, que tienen que completar y la misma nos servirá para medir el FODA, que son las fortalezas, oportunidades, debilidades y amenazas que pueda tener el proyecto. De ahí, se harán cuatro informes trimestrales y un informe general, sin desmedro de otros informes que haya que dar a la institución patrocinadora.
5- Se tomará al azar, personas que hayan escuchado los anuncios por la radio, para que evalúen qué les parece los mismos.

La Fundación Santa Lola, utiliza el trabajo como forma de cumplir con su misión y a la vez, sirve de motivación a decenas de personas, que se suman a lo que estamos haciendo. Los miembros se reclutarán por medio del mismo proyecto, con los llamados Multiplicadores. Estas personas, se elegirán de las charlas de las Semanas de la Informaciones, quienes se comprometen a capacitar a través de las redes sociales, el teléfono, un cara a cara sobre el tema en cuestión.
How will you appoint new leaders and transfer leadership when the founding members want to leave the team?
Lo que se busca con este proyecto es EMPODERAR. Desde el principio, la cabeza será la Fundación Santa Lola, pero quienes ejecuten el programa son los mismos jóvenes, la comunidad en general, es decir la gente común y corriente que vive en esos sectores y que han decidido participar. Ahí irán aprendiendo y cuando les toque quedarse solos, recordarán la forma de trabajar que les enseñamos.
How will you continue your project in 6-months time or once you have spent all of its initial capital?
La Fundación Santa Lola se sostiene por actividades de recaudación de fondos. Estaríamos utilizando a los mismos multiplicadores para que vendan objetos a precios cómodos (como de pulseras, llaveros), con la intención de poder obtener recursos económicos y así las charlas siguientes no se caen, ni mucho menos la presentación del documental.

HIV Education & Medication Adherence Application
Expliquez en quoi consiste l '«innovation», par exemple, est-ce que c’est l'idée et / ou le modèle que vous utilisez pour accomplir votre projet, ou la compréhension de la population cible, etc.?
HIV is a chronic disease requiring unremitting adherence to medication (antiretroviral therapy or “ART”). As the leading health issue confronting people living with HIV (PLWH), non-adherence costs the healthcare system between $500 and 1,500 per month per patient1, a figure much higher than the cost of non-adherence for other chronic diseases.
Multiple factors contribute to poor adherence in HIV: managing a complex regimen, medication side effects, lack of immediate evident benefit from taking daily medication, and lastly, staying positive and motivated to maintain lifelong adherence. One key challenge to ART adherence is the stigma associated with HIV; this can constrain PLWHs’ support networks and willingness to take medication as directed.
Traditional patient-provider relationships and adherence intervention models rely on face-to-face office visits. Relying on infrequent visits and ‘push education,’ these models neither provide ongoing support for the PLWH nor empower them to take proactive ownership of their adherence goals. Current mobile applications that support ART adherence rely on intrusive push reminders, and do not provide a data feedback loop to the provider.
These apps report struggling effectiveness and low uptake due to PLWH disclosure sensitivity, lack of patient retention in consistent care, and technology-only intervention points. In addition, existing apps have failed to demonstrate sustainable, scalable impact for the provider or patient populations, and linking this impact to tangible benefits within the HIV healthcare industry.

Technology alone cannot solve all of the ‘real and human’ problems that often drive non-adherence in HIV. However, if executed effectively, mobile technology presents a unique opportunity to help transform the traditional patient-provider relationship into an ongoing, confidential, and collaborative relationship as a foundation for increasing ART adherence.
Leveraging mobile technology to create dynamic education opportunities and positive feedback loops can establish the necessary patient empowerment to drive the core behavior change to increase and sustain adherence.

AIDES Guyane : un bus de dépistage rapide
Expliquez en quoi consiste l '«innovation», par exemple, est-ce que c’est l'idée et / ou le modèle que vous utilisez pour accomplir votre projet, ou la compréhension de la population cible, etc.?
Jusqu’en septembre 2010 pour se faire dépister, il fallait aller dans les centres de dépistage anonymes et gratuits qui n'existent que dans les grandes villes, à des horaires restreints. Ou demander à son médecin une ordonnance, il est parfois étonné, voire réticent. Le problème est que le VIH est une maladie sociale avant d'être une maladie virale, les gens ont peur d'être jugés : beaucoup préfèrent ne pas savoir que de porter cette image-là.
En permettant à chacun d'être testé régulièrement, de connaître son statut et éventuellement de se soigner, on évite de nouvelles contaminations et on casse durablement la dynamique de l'épidémie.
Mais à ce moment là, les tests de dépistage étaient interdits en dehors d’un milieu médicalisé de ces centres et de son médecin. Après un long combat, AIDES a réussi à faire avancer la loi : Autorisé par décret en novembre 2010, le dépistage rapide réalisé par des non médecins est enfin autorisé.
Décrivez comment votre modèle d'innovation est différent de toute autre organisation dans votre domaine?
L’idée innovante est d’aller dépister les personnes dans leur environnement au lieu de les faire venir à nous.
Notre force : nos militants sont des bénévoles, des personnes touchées de près ou de loin par le virus, ils ne jugent pas, ils connaissent et font partie des populations les plus vulnérables (gays, migrants, …) et sont donc acceptés très facilement pour aller dépister.
00 mots ou moins (800 caractères)
Quel environnement et quels facteurs organisationnels internes font la réussite de votre projet ?
La réussite de ce projet de dépistage hors les murs repose sur plusieurs facteurs :
> Ce sont les militants de l’association (des bénévoles) qui font les tests (et pas des médecins en blouses blanches)
> Nous avons mis en place tout un process valisé par les autorités de santé publique : Après un entretien autour des sexualités et des moyens de prévention, nos militants formés prélèvent une goutte de sang au bout du doigt. Le résultat est délivré en quelques minutes, en toute confidentialité. Quel que soit ce résultat chaque personne peut bénéficier d’un accompagnement personnalisé. Grâce à ce dispositif simple, mobile et gratuit, nous allons à la rencontre des populations directement sur leurs lieux de vie.
Comment vous assurez-vous d’innover sans cesse à la lumière des défis externes (potentiels), ou de votre plan de croissance?
Notre association est une association communautaire : on ne fait pour les personnes touchées par le virus, on fait avec elles. Ce sont nos militants qui sont tous les jours sur le terrain qui décident de nos actions. Ils sont au plus près des réalités de l’épidémie. Donc ils font évoluer nos actions continuellement. C’est comme cela que nous avons compris qu’il nous fallait un bus pour aller voir les populations touchées (et ne pas attendre qu’elles viennent dans nos locaux)

12.695 tests ont été réalisés par nos militants entre le 1er janvier et le 30 septembre 2012, dans 23 régions de France (incluant la Guyane, Martinique et Saint-Martin-Guadeloupe).
> 30% des tests ont été réalisés dans les locaux de AIDES
> 70% des tests ont été réalisés lors d'actions "hors les murs" dans des commerces partenaires, foyers, lieux de rencontre en plein air (et c’est là que nous avons besoin de vous en Guyane pour nous permettre de mener ces actions dans de bonnes conditions grace à un bus aménagé)
Résultats : 1% de résultats positifs sur l'ensemble des tests. C'est 5 fois plus que dans l'offre de dépistage classique (0,2%), et 3 fois plus que dans les Centres de dépistage anonymes et gratuits (0,3%). Contrairement aux apparences, ce taux de 1% est un indicateur positif : il montre que ce dépistage opère au plus près des populations touchées et atteint des publics qui ont peu recours au test du VIH. Pour preuve, 30% des personnes testées ne l'avaient jamais été auparavant.
Le taux de prévalence du VIH en Guyane est le plus élevé de France.
Saint-Laurent du Maroni abrite en grand nombre les populations les plus précaires. C'est aussi une zone d'immigration, de déplacements, de mobilité. Saint-Laurent du Maroni concentre la majeure partie des enjeux sanitaires de la région (sida, paludisme, tuberculose, pathologies digestives liées à l'eau insalubre et parasitoses) Le Comité de coordination régionale de lutte contre le VIH estime que 500 personnes sont porteuses du VIH sans le savoir en Guyane, la majeure partie à Saint-Laurent du Maroni.
Quelles méthodes pour la quantification de l'impact social demandez-vous (le cas échéant)?
Nos militants remplissent lors de chaque test un compte-rendu de l’entretien. Tous les compte-rendu sont compilés et nous permettent d’avoir des chiffres et des résultats fiables.
Est-ce que votre solution peut fonctionner dans d'autres zones géographiques ou régions? Si oui, où?
Bien entendu ce modèle de dépistage rapide dans un bus est réplicable dans d’autres zones géographiques et pour d’autres pathologies.
Nous étendons actuellement le dépistage sur tout le territoire français (nous avons déjà un bus en Ile de France / cf la vidéo)
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des trois prochaines années?
Après un déploiement progressif en 2012, notre offre de dépistage est vouée à s'étendre sur les 3 prochaines années. Objectifs : permettre à davantage de personnes de connaître leur statut, d'améliorer leur niveau de protection et accompagner ceux qui en ont besoin vers une prise en charge de qualité. Un des enjeux pour 2013 sera notamment de réduire la proportion de premiers tests réalisés, et d'amener les personnes à un dépistage plus fréquent, conformément aux recommandations de la Haute Autorité de Santé.

While driving back home from the Port-au-Prince airport after a week of holidays in Mexico, Aurélie felt sad for the umpteenth time watching the tough reality of Haiti that strikes anyone just by looking in the streets. Since she arrived in Haiti, she is convinced that developing agriculture is the key to boost the Haitian economy and reduce some health issues.

“Terenfom”: agriculture microcredit for nutrition programs intended to pregnant/breastfeeding women and OVC in Haiti.
Expliquez en quoi consiste l '«innovation», par exemple, est-ce que c’est l'idée et / ou le modèle que vous utilisez pour accomplir votre projet, ou la compréhension de la population cible, etc.?
The idea is to invest in agriculture to address malnutrition issues and boost agriculture sector at the same time via public-private partnerships (PPP) between small size farms, the Ministry of Health (MOH), NGOs and the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA).
Microcredit will be offered to farmers who could invest to produce specific local food products and in return they will be obliged to supply a proportion of their production to associated health facilities for the nutrition programs already implemented and intended to pregnant/breastfeeding women and OVC (Orphans and Vulnerable Children). The farmers will also need to reimburse the funds as per microcredits programs.
Décrivez comment votre modèle d'innovation est différent de toute autre organisation dans votre domaine?
There are several nutrition programs in Haiti mainly funded by World Food Program (WFP) . Due to the current malnutrition and poverty situation, it is very likely that those programs will run for many years ahead. Nevertheless, currently there is no integrated agro-health and microcredit programs combining efforts from the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) in Haiti to impact the agriculture industry and the health systems together. Suggesting a program involving the MOH and MOA via microcredit is a sustainable approach that could benefit two different sectors and reduce the dependence to international funds.
Quel environnement et quels facteurs organisationnels internes font la réussite de votre projet ?
MSH is a renowned organization in Haiti which was able to develop strong relationships with the different stakeholders and the community. Since MSH is directly supporting health facilities handled by NGOs or MOH, MSH’role is also to advocate for public health change policy with strong data evidence to the MOH and other major stakeholders via SDSH and another project of MSH called LMG (Leadership, Management and Governance). Owing to this expertise, MSH teams will be able to implement a new program including a new Minister, the MOA, to ensure the success of Terenfom. Due to the serious economic and sanitary situation, the country will get important funds from international organizations for many years ahead. Funding will not represent the major challenge for the success of this project.
Comment vous assurez-vous d’innover sans cesse à la lumière des défis externes (potentiels), ou de votre plan de croissance?
This project is innovative in itself by its new PPP strategy combining microcredit and two different ministries. Though it is very hard to implement new projects in Haiti due to the very complex situation, the abundance of stakeholders and high influence of politics, it is also very important to remain flexible and be able to adjust to the field situation and any possible changes, such as potential natural disasters or politic instability. MSH is present in Haiti for 26 years and has a strong expertise in public health project management in Haiti. The MSH team has developed a high flexibility ensuring the success of the innovative project Terenfom.

Haiti suffers from an extreme poverty that highly impacts the population health. According to UNICEF, the percentage of population below international poverty line of USD 1.25 per day is 55%, the half is illiterate, less than 7% of GDP is invested in health and the Global Hunger index for 2012 was 30.8 (“extremely alarming”). According to the WFP, 6.7 million people are food insecure with the half of the food coming from imports. WFP data reports that 23.4% of children suffer from chronic malnutrition. This project aims to use differently funds currently allocated to agriculture and nutrition programs. By investing in agriculture via microcredits to produce food products for malnourished people, this project could bring a sustainable solution to agriculture and health.

The project is based on 2 pillows:
-Microcredit offered to farmers: microcredit will be offered to farmers to help them start their production.The farmer will need to reimburse this credit like any other microcredit programs in order to enable the sustainability of the project.
- Agreement between the farmers and associated health facilities: the farmer will be obliged to dedicate a percentage of his production to the associated health facilities for its nutrition program.
A pilot study needs to be done during a period of one year for products such as rice, beans, corn, oil, sugar and banana. The second year, the farmers will increase its production. The third year, the farmer will diversify its production and/or produce transformed products such as corn cans, beans cans or banana chips
Quelle est votre vision et vos objectifs généraux?
Our vision is to address malnutrition affecting vulnerable population in Haiti by boosting the agriculture sector which will be eventually also profitable to the national economy. The overall objectives are to bring sustainable solutions to Haiti for agriculture and malnutrition.
Quelle est votre proposition de valeur?
Our value proposition is to use already available funds in an innovative way to promote local economy and address health issues.
Qui est votre client/quels sont vos clients?
There are two categories of customers (beneficiaries): the farmers and the targeted population for nutrition programs which include pregnant/breastfeeding women and OVC.
Quelles approches utilisez-vous pour atteindre vos clients?
The project will reach the customers via already existing stakeholders: the ones working with the farmers for the agriculture part and the ones in health facilities for the nutrition part.
Quelles sont vos principales activités?
Our current organization MSH is supporting 164 health facilities throughout the country to offer high quality health services to 40% of the Haitian population via the project SDSH (Santé pour le Développement et la Stabilité d’Haïti). Our technical support includes data management strengthening, capacity building, expansion of health services, quality services strengthening, etc.
Qui sont vos pairs et concurrents? Quels problèmes pourraient poser ces acteurs à votre succès ou la croissance de votre projet/idée?
There are other organizations playing similar roles in Haiti but their network is less widespread geographically than the SDSH project of MSH. SDSH supported facilities are mainly located in very remote areas unlike many of the sites supported by other competitors. The LMG project of MSH is directly supporting MOH which brings a specific privileged position to MSH compared to other organizations. Indeed, MSH is the only organization handling 2 big projects combining direct health facilities support (SDSH project) and MOH strengthening (LMG).
Quels autres défis - individuel, organisationnel, ou de l'environnement - faîtes-vous actuellement face ou pourraient nuire à la réussite future de votre entreprise, et comment comptez-vous les surmonter?
The Haiti context is very influenced by politics. The MSH expertise should be able to overcome the possible conflicts.

Qu’est-ce qui rend votre entreprise "prête" pour la croissance?
The pilot study has not been planned yet due to other commitments for the current ongoing program till July 2013.
Quels sont vos objectifs clés de croissance?
The key growth objectives are to expand the project to more farmers and supply a bigger quantity of food products in order to support a higher number of beneficiaries for nutrition programs.
Eventually, the project should allow the farmers to export their raw or transformed food products to neighboring countries.
Quel est votre calendrier pour la croissance, à court et à moyen terme? Quelles sont les étapes de la croissance et des activités clés à l'avenir?

In order to assess the social impact of the project to farmers, several indicators usually used in microcredit and agriculture programs will be defined with the different stakeholders such as income, income increase, etc. Similarly, for the impact on nutrition, several indicators will be defined such as number of beneficiaries per category, increase of number of beneficiaries per category, etc.
Est-ce que votre solution peut fonctionner dans d'autres zones géographiques ou régions? Si oui, où?
It is likely that this program could be implemented in regions where similar issues occur : low employment rate, high illiteracy rate, weak industrial task, high agriculture potentials, malnutrition, high rural areas, presence of international aids.

There are several funders involved in agriculture and nutrition programs in Haiti. It would be necessary to submit a proposal to get initial funds.

The using of mobile and web-based applications to increase access to HIV/AIDS and Sexual & Reproductive Health information and services are still very new in developing countries as Indonesia. The utilization of this mHealth innovation is directed at key population at risks to HIV, young people and general population are still very new in developing countries including Indonesia. The applications can also ensure client’s privacy, easier access by anyone, anytime and anywhere. The web-based application can be easily accessed by target population living in more urban sites – this is important in HIV as most of key population at risks living in the urban sites; while the mobile application can be accessed by residence in rural sites and/ in areas where internet access is not advance
With the current situation, that community affected by HIV transmission is still quite discreet community, the applications can reduce the tension of being identified when accessing the information. Stigma and discrimination and social taboo surrounding HIV and SRH issues become additional barriers. Various approaches to increase knowledge of key population at risks to HIV infections have been implemented, from outreach, peer education and IEC material distribution. However, these approaches rely heavily on face-to-face meeting for provision of the information
Décrivez comment votre modèle d'innovation est différent de toute autre organisation dans votre domaine?
As explained above, the conventional approach to provision of information in HIV response and SRH program still relies on outreach model; the model relies heavily on individual face-to-face meeting to disseminate the information. This approach is quite costly and labor intensive.
Quel environnement et quels facteurs organisationnels internes font la réussite de votre projet ?
Our organization was established in 2009, and has utilized social networking media as campaign and advocacy tools. We manage 2 facebook account (ODHA berhak sehat and Koalisi AIDS), 3 twitter accounts (@odhaberhaksehat, @koalisiaids, @kamusaids) and 3 twitter robots (@twit_hiv, @portalaids, @post_2015) which daily send information to 7000 followers. In addition, we also use Blackberry messenger for campaigns. There are 4 websites which we manage by ourself (www.iac.or.id, www.odhaberhaksehat.org, www.aidsdigital.net dan www.kamusaids.com). In short, utilization of information and communication technology becomes our expertise and identity in implementing campaigns and advocacy.
Comment vous assurez-vous d’innover sans cesse à la lumière des défis externes (potentiels), ou de votre plan de croissance?
Some challenges that we have identified include unfamiliarity of using mobile applications as the source of HIV and SRH information, and access to internet connection in some rural and isolated islands in Indonesia. In order to reduce the impact of these challenges, various mass promotion will be publicly held so that the community is aware of AIDS Digital, either through social networking media and also off-line events in collaboration with Blogger community. AIDS Digital will also be linked with a machine for SMS Gateway which will function to provide information in AIDS Digital application using text messages/SMS. This will increase the coverage of the information to the areas where internet connection is not widely available.

Indonesia vast geographical areas, scattered services for HIV and SRH (including IMS), and social taboo surrounding HIV and SRH affect how key population at risk to HIV (People living with HIV, Sex Workers, Gay, Transgender and drug users) and general population access discreetly HIV and SRH related information. It is added by huge concerns over status disclosure if they are seen accessing this service and/ information related to HIV and SRH. In addition, there has been no one-stop information service where people can access information regarding available HIV and SRH services in certain areas in a quick and easy way. AIDS Digital tries to address above issues.

S'il vous plaît décrivez votre solution de façon plus détaillée
AIDS Digital is a mobile application which can be accessed from smartphone. It includes information such as directory of HIV and SRH services from 33 provinces in Indonesia. Currently, in the existing AIDS Digital database, there are already 774 services for HIV , including detail address, phone numbers, website and GPS coordinate which helps to guide people who want to access the service. Beside directory of health services, AIDS Digital also includes directory of organizations working in HIV response. AIDS Digital also provides client satisfaction survey on the quality of listed services. We hope that the survey will help to promote better service delivery quality in Indonesia.
Quelle est votre vision et vos objectifs généraux?
To increase access to HIV and SRH information amongst hard-to-reach population and to contribute to national strategies in AIDS response in Indonesia
Quelle est votre proposition de valeur?
This application design and developed by People Living with HIV. This shown that as long we have an equal access to participate on the program design and monitoring and evaluation, not just involved as beneficiary, we could be part of solution in more meaningful way.
Qui est votre client/quels sont vos clients?
Our firts target costumer is Internet users as well smartphone users in Indonesia. We also targeting the private hospital, private laboratory and other private services which have related services to advertise in AIDS Digital and bringing AIDS Digital become the biggest online health services directory in Indonesia.
Quelles approches utilisez-vous pour atteindre vos clients?
We would make a promotion through social media network such likes Facebook, twitter and others. We have more than 10 social media accounts with more than 10.000 friends and follower. We also would create several twitter robot to make promotion. For the secondary target we would establish a marketing team which could make lobby and negotiation with the private health services providers.
Quelles sont vos principales activités?
Develop and maintain our database, make a promotion and seeking advertorial to our website.
Qui sont vos pairs et concurrents? Quels problèmes pourraient poser ces acteurs à votre succès ou la croissance de votre projet/idée?
Our peers are non govermental organization which work on AIDS response. We not seen a competitor so far since this is a new approach on this field but we need to grow up faster so we could compete with the ICT company who would see this opportunity also. Our peers could help us to strengthen our database and ensure our information content is needed by community and society.
Quels autres défis - individuel, organisationnel, ou de l'environnement - faîtes-vous actuellement face ou pourraient nuire à la réussite future de votre entreprise, et comment comptez-vous les surmonter?
As community based organization staff turn over is quite high due to unstable financing faced by community organization. We would develop a small team to manage AIDS Digital and working to gain revenue so AIDS Digital could self financing including personnel cost needed.

Expliquez en quoi consiste l '«innovation», par exemple, est-ce que c’est l'idée et / ou le modèle que vous utilisez pour accomplir votre projet, ou la compréhension de la population cible, etc.?
Ath Checkpoint is a community based center for voluntary testing and counseling for HIV. Even though it is based on a model established in other european areas, it is an innovative venture in a national level. The profile of Ath Checkpoint is a groundbreaking project in many levels: it addresses issues of smooth access to HIV testing and counseling for targeted key populations. Making such an important service accessible to men who have sex with men is mainly catered by our networking, roots and deep understanding of the needs of that group. Building that structure we cooperated actively with all organisations, groups and prominent activists and professionals from the local LGBT scene. After half a year of operating in Athens, the response to our services have got very positive reviews and we are gradually being established as a complete one-stop structure for HIV health for men who have sex with men
Décrivez comment votre modèle d'innovation est différent de toute autre organisation dans votre domaine?
Ath Checkpoint was created on the grounds of lacking of HIV test and counseling services, that are convenient and accessible to people that have tight schedules and feel unwelcome to traditional environments and structures for HIV testing. State structures not only they are addressed to the general public, they also are problematic providing accessible services. There are also some other private initiatives addressed to other key populations like intravenous drug users and migrants. Ath Checkpoint is the first structure that offers services designed according to the needs of modern men who have sex with men
Quel environnement et quels facteurs organisationnels internes font la réussite de votre projet ?
The base of our organizational model is peer-to-peer services with the technical support of the main HIV policy maker in Greece (KEELPNO). Staff is consisted of people from the LGBT community with an activist and/or professional record in the field. Added to this factor, we have designed and customize services adapted to the lifestyle and needs of men who have sex with men of any background. We provide friendly services of testing and counseling, adhering to a model that is: quick, easily accessible, targeted, painless, free of charge, with convenient operating hours. Such innovations are becoming more and more appealing to the LGBT community and men who have sex with men
Comment vous assurez-vous d’innover sans cesse à la lumière des défis externes (potentiels), ou de votre plan de croissance?
The challenges in the area of HIV prevention are always on the rise in Greece on the background of the socioeconomic crisis. Traditional structures collapse and we try to cover the needs of this key population. We try to introduce multiple methods of testing (saliva and blood antibodies tests), and we plan to expand our services to full sexual health prevention services, introducing testing for more sexually transmitted infections (hepatitis, syphilis etc.). It is also our aim to inaugurate a second prevention unit to the second largest city of Greece, Thessaloniki. As we hope that we will continue to grow, we plan to open our services to more key populations, targeting to each group's special needs

Access to free HIV testing is becoming more and more difficult in Greece. Services once offered for free from public structures thery are now no longer available. Moreover there was never a cultivated ground for accompanying services of counseling for safer sex practices and harm reduction. When it comes to key populations affected by HIV, like men who have sex with men, things are getting worse. The response to the needs of this group was never targeted, as they were practically invisible by public health pro-test interventions. As a result, such structures were less accessible to MSM creating phenomena like late presenters (diagnoses at a late state) and high prevelance within that population, as there was no timely diagnoses and infections were multiplied

Ath Checkpoint aim to address the beforementioned issues. Ath Checkpoint:
- offers free services of HIV testing and counseling on sexual health
- is targeted to men who have sex with men, without excluding other key populations or the general public
- overcomes obstacles to smooth and regular HIV monitoring (convenient working hours, easily accessible by public transport being situated in the heart of the city near the gay venues)
- fits modern lifestyle of young and active people as it offers a concise service of rapid saliva test for HIV and counseling
- helps to link people to the health system when there is a reactive test (positive antibodies test)
- offers follow up services, reminding clients to repeat test accordingly
- does frequent outreach to the community
Quelle est votre vision et vos objectifs généraux?
We aim to provide free sexual health services to the main key population that is affected by HIV in Greece, men who have sex with men. We try to do this not only by providing very friendly and accesible services in an accomodating environment, but also by cultivating a sexual health conscience to people that are most active and engaging to most risky sexual practices. We also try to entrench the LGBT community with positive attitudes towards prevention habits as regular use of condoms and regular HIV monitoring
Quelle est votre proposition de valeur?
We want to make Ath Checkpoint a beacon of prevention for men who have sex with men . A stable reference for the LGBT community, cultivating a culture of safer sexual practices and prevention
Qui est votre client/quels sont vos clients?
Within the key population of men who have sex with men:
- young men
- gay men
- sexually active men who regularly or occasionaly engage with sex with other men
As we scale up we will explicitly move towards the general public:
- other key populations : women, youngsters, IDUs
- the general public
Quelles approches utilisez-vous pour atteindre vos clients?
We approach our main target group moving in the frame of their everyday lifestyle. Thus, we use various ways to make Ath Checkpoint recognizable:
- audiovisual campaigns to social medias
- outreach to gay and gay-friendly venues with flyer campaigns
- outreach to the general public and our main target group by distributing condoms and lubes
- participation to gay events and parties with distribution of materials
- constant co-operations with gay enterprises and gay media
- constant presence to gay dating sites
- positioning of condom dispensers with Ath Checkpoint logo to all gay venues
- word of mouth and networking
Quelles sont vos principales activités?
- testing for HIV
- counseling for safer sex practices
- linking newly diagnosed to the health system
- producing printed and audiovisual material
- outreach with informative materials, condoms and lubes for sex
- research and surveillance on MSM behaviours
- creating events to promote sexual prevention
- presence in gay venues, parties, events
Qui sont vos pairs et concurrents? Quels problèmes pourraient poser ces acteurs à votre succès ou la croissance de votre projet/idée?
We feel that Ath Checkpoint is positioned in a market niche where there are few overlappings.
HIV testing and monitoring trageted to MSM comes to compliment actions targeted to other key populations -like IDUs and migrants- carried out by other organizations.
Our peers to the response to HIV in Greece are other private organizations like Center for Life and PRAKSIS. We also feel that we do not try to compete with traditional state provision services but to overcome shortcomings, trace and cover needs of the MSM population
Quels autres défis - individuel, organisationnel, ou de l'environnement - faîtes-vous actuellement face ou pourraient nuire à la réussite future de votre entreprise, et comment comptez-vous les surmonter?
The main obstacle for community based structures in Greece is the current model of providing health prevention services. It is rather a systemic and institutional inertia of traditional state centralized services. For example, introducing alternative technologies for HIV testing (saliva test vs blood test) is not easy, since there are certain health specialties and professionals that monopolise such methods. In co-operation with institutions and by showcasing a consistent body of work, we try to overcome such issues. By scaling up we will be ready to employ more professionals to operate various methodologies.
Décrivez brièvement votre stratégie de croissance à l'avenir
Our plan is to scale up gradually, and to move forward expanding towards two directions:
- expand geographically: open new checkpoint structure to the second largest greek city and hopefully continue expanding
- encompass more vulnerable groups: we want to address our services to more groups that are affected by HIV

Qu’est-ce qui rend votre entreprise "prête" pour la croissance?
We have already a designed and tested model of operating. It is a matter of using current resources to expand the checkpoint project in order to cover more people. Our project has a vast momentum making it a fertile ground for growth
Quels sont vos objectifs clés de croissance?
We aim to:
- scale up the rate of test and couseling sessions
- communicate and make the structure visible to more than 50% of the MSM population living in Greece
- open a second structure
- cover new key populations and move towards covering the needs of the general population
Quel est votre calendrier pour la croissance, à court et à moyen terme? Quelles sont les étapes de la croissance et des activités clés à l'avenir?
For 2013 we aim to:
- achieve 2,500 testing and counseling sessions
- inaugurate the second checkpoint in Thessaloniki, targeted to the general population
- be present in every big LGBT and MSM-orianted event
- have condom dispensers installed in all gay and MSM-orianted venues in Athens, Thessaloniki and other big cities in Greece

In the first five months of operation, Ath Checkpoint have become a trusted HIV prevention structure, recognizable by the core part of our target group and present to most related events and venues. We have performed about 800 test and counseling sessions, with a relatively high ratio of reacting (positive antibodies) tests.
We are dedicated in offering a concise experience to our clients and we are especially oriented to following up the procedure of prevention, whether it is rescheduling sessions and reminders or linking individuals to the health systems. We offer a climax of services that clients chose to use: from counseling to full HIV monitoring and HIV educating sessions.
We have established a post-session review system and almost all the reviews we have got until now are very positive. As a result, Ath Checkpoint have greatly been merited from enthralled word of mouth.
Ath Checkpoint is becoming more and more respected by the specials, as it lifts off a heavy amount of work on primary testing and prevention for HIV
Quelles méthodes pour la quantification de l'impact social demandez-vous (le cas échéant)?
We use indexes to measure:
- the rate of gratification from the part of the customers
- routes of how the customers learned about us
- the actual rate of sessions that help us to plan and scale up future actions
- statistics from the response to our communication campaigns through social media
Est-ce que votre solution peut fonctionner dans d'autres zones géographiques ou régions? Si oui, où?
The model of checkpoints for sexual health monitoring has been successful in some european cities. We have drawn experience, directions and inspiration from previous ventures and it seems to be a model flexible enough to be adapted to many regions and specific needs. We feel ready to apply our localized and customized organizational model to northern Greece, adapting a more open approach regarding targeting groups of interest
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des trois prochaines années?
Ath Checkpoint is a flexible and adaptable model. We aim to become the first line service for primary sexual prevention for men who have sex with men. We also plan to establish at least one more such structure in the rest of the country. Delivering reliable results will reassure the constant support of our allies

We work according a very analytical and strict accountability financial model with our main donor. Delivering measureable amounts of work will expand the contracts of co-operation. That model works in a positive way both ways: it helps us to be target-driven and dedicated to achieve our deliverables, whereas our allies see a reliable partner. This healthy and sustainable model of transparent administration we aim to adhere to, also help us communicate further needs with other donors. Having the state health structures collapsing, most enterprises that relate their business plans to locating patients in need seem very willing to support structures like Ath Checkpoint.

Improving quality in Namibia's public hospitals:A transformative leadership approach to increased access by general populations
Expliquez en quoi consiste l '«innovation», par exemple, est-ce que c’est l'idée et / ou le modèle que vous utilisez pour accomplir votre projet, ou la compréhension de la population cible, etc.?
With a current estimated population of 2.2 million people, a land mass of 825,418sq km and a population density of 2.5/sq km, access to quality and affordable health care services in Namibia is very challenging. The country also operates one of the most expensive health care service delivery model in the world in which government bears the cost of transporting, lodging and feeding a good number of the 87% of its citizens from the remote hinterland settlements that patronize government health facilities. Katutura State and Windhoek Central Hospitals are the flagship public hospitals in Namibia. Both hospitals combined serve 20% of the entire population of the country. The quality of health services is very poor following the surge in the population they serve and many years of poor management and gaps in infrastructural development. Our innovation in both hospitals revolves around a facility led and owned patient centered approach to quality improvement. It involves the use of data to explore the relationship between quality of services (dependent variable) and the application of leading and managing practices, patient perception of quality and the work climate (independent variables). Our holistic and demand driven approach to tackling the pervasive and seemingly intractable poor quality of health services help the facilities apply participatory diagnostic tools that identify the root causes of their poor services delivery and focus improvement actions on critical triggers that create positive ripple effects across the major facility systems and improve access.
Décrivez comment votre modèle d'innovation est différent de toute autre organisation dans votre domaine?
Previous attempts at addressing the problem of access to quality of services in both hospitals adopted a vertical approach with emphasis on improving quality of HIV and AIDS/TB services. This approach eventually led to fragmentation of the overall facility systems. We address the problem through a holistic and patient-centered approach. By combining the successful continuous quality improvement program of a local indigenous organization with the equally successful leadership and management development program of Management Sciences for Health, we have developed a Quality Improvement and Leadership Program (QIL). It is implemented in all departments of the hospitals to improve access to better patient safety, quality of care across the facilities and increased patient satisfaction.
Quel environnement et quels facteurs organisationnels internes font la réussite de votre projet ?
It can be successful in any health facility that is looking to institutionalizing continuous quality improvement. Some factors critical to the successful implementation are:
1. Buy-in to the process at the relevant leadership levels - this includes not just the hospital management team and staff, but by the Ministry of Health and other necessary line ministries and departments.
2. Integration of eight leading and managing practices (scanning, focusing, planning, organizing, aligning and mobilizing, implementing, inspiring and monitoring and evaluating) into the continuous quality improvement process
3. Workgroup-centered approach to work - makes it possible for teams to face challenges and achieve their desired improvement goals in conditions as complex as those in health facilities
Comment vous assurez-vous d’innover sans cesse à la lumière des défis externes (potentiels), ou de votre plan de croissance?
Any meaningful and successful work with Ministries of Health requires that one constantly innovations in order to address the myriad of obstacles that are bound to emerge. The QIL program design is a broad outline. The real value is in the implementers awareness of the constantly changing landscape and their ability to adapt and improvise to overcome them within the overall framework for achieve the institutionalization of continuous quality improvement. Besides the mandatory reflection and feedback to facilities and Ministry of Health, at the heart of the QIL Program is the use of data for: a. monitoring progress in the achievement of quality improvement by health facilities b. continuous learning and innovation to improve the design of the program itself.

S'il vous plaît décrire plus en détail: quel est le problème que vous essayez de résoudre dans le contexte spécifique de l'organisation?
The general population in Namibia faces a number of barriers to accessing quality of care including cost. Only the well-offs and those with medical aid are able to access quality health services in private practice. The results of a recent assessment of the quality of care we conducted in the two largest hospitals patronized by 87% of the population painted a very grim picture. Both health facilities were discovered to be non-complaint to internationally acceptable standards of care in all but one of the service elements including such critical services as infection control, patient resuscitation amongst others. Yet, the general population is left with both these facilities as their main options.

We are about reducing unnecessary near misses and deaths by increasing access to quality health care services for the general population by: A. improvement of the health facilities quality of care in order for them to be accredited as meeting internationally acceptable standards of care. B. institutionalize a process for continuous quality improvement in order for them to maintain their accreditation. We have began doing this with various bespoke interventions for the health facility managers, front-line facility staff and the various key stakeholders including the Ministry of Health and relevant line ministries and departments respectively.
Quelle est votre vision et vos objectifs généraux?
In addition to the vision of a "Namibia where the general population is assured of internationally accredited quality of health services by 2015" other long term objectives include to:
A. Sustains the delivery of improved health care services
B. Strengthen organisational systems that lead to improvement in facility performance
C. Improve leadership and management practices that lead to improved performance of the facilities according to the international health services standards
D. Improve work climate in the facility that provides an enabling environment to provide and receive quality services
E. Increase the number of individuals that can lead and manage health projects
Quelle est votre proposition de valeur?
Working in partnership with the Council for Health Service Accreditation of Southern Africa (COHSASA) we have combined our Leadership Development Program (LDP) and their Quality Improvement (QI) program into an integrated Quality Improvement and Leadership Program (QIL). QIL is about improving the quality of care and service delivery within health care facilities. Our value proposition is the implementation of the QIL Program in a manner that facilitates sustainable access to quality of care and services to the general population in Namibia. We are currently implementing a regional program which gives us the advantage of applying lessons learnt from various countries for the benefit of one particular country. We reflect the saying that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Qui est votre client/quels sont vos clients?
Our direct customers are the two facilities in which the QIL program is being implemented . Our indirect customers include the Namibia Ministry of Health and Social Services - that request for our support and the Namibia Mission of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) - that provided funding for the program. However, we can be contracted directly by either a health facility or the Ministry of Health.
Quelles approches utilisez-vous pour atteindre vos clients?
We have a vibrant communication of results strategy in place. It ranges from one on one promotion of the results of our work with key officials in the Ministry of Health and USAID to strategic alliances with intergovernmental organizations such as the East, Central and Southern Africa - Health Community (ECSA-HC) http://www.ecsa.or.tz/
Quelles sont vos principales activités?
MSH supports universal health coverage for all, especially for the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people. We work toward equitable access to essential health services at an affordable cost for all.
It applies its health systems strengthening approach through:
A. Capacity Building - strengthen local individuals and institutions and foster local leadership through program implementation and support
B. Innovation - develop and scale up health systems innovations
C. Evidence - contribute to and apply the global health evidence base
D. Advocacy - advocate at national, regional, and global levels for universal health coverage and specific unmet needs.
We apply these practices at all levels - from household to community to health facility to national authorities.
Qui sont vos pairs et concurrents? Quels problèmes pourraient poser ces acteurs à votre succès ou la croissance de votre projet/idée?
Our peers include other international Non-governmental organizations such as:
1. Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF)
2. FHI 360

Because the QIL program is currently in the public domain, any of these organizations can adapt it for their use for the common good. However, our long standing niche in leadership, management and governance will continue to give us the innovative edge to continuously develop the QIL program
Quels autres défis - individuel, organisationnel, ou de l'environnement - faîtes-vous actuellement face ou pourraient nuire à la réussite future de votre entreprise, et comment comptez-vous les surmonter?
One of the most critical organizational challenges we face is that the program is funded on a yearly basis by USAID. This makes planning and the commitment of resources very difficult. It must also be mentioned that the recent classification of Namibia from a lower to an upper-middle income economy has necessitated USAID to adopt a decreasing funding strategy. There is there for no guarantee of the size of future funding available to us for the project. We plan to address this challenge be encouraging the Namibia government to fund the QIL program either in part or in full.
Décrivez brièvement votre stratégie de croissance à l'avenir
Issues of health facility quality improvement are pervasive in Southern Africa the current geographic focus of our project. By demonstrating sound results with the help of our formidable communications unit from this pilot, we hope to scale up QIL program both in Namibia and to other countries in the region.

We have being implementing a similar QIL Program in Botswana since 2010 with very impressive levels of success. 2 out of the 5 hospitals should be accredited around September 2013. The remaining hospitals though they will not be accredited due to some structural issues that needs to be addressed by relevant line ministries and departments in Botswana, they have all demonstrated very impressive improvements in their quality of care from a overall baseline average scores of around 39.3 out of 80 points for accreditation in 2010 to a overall average scores of 73 points in 2013. These translate to increased access to improved quality of care to the general population.
Quelles méthodes pour la quantification de l'impact social demandez-vous (le cas échéant)?
As a lesson learnt from the Botswana experience we have incorporated patient satisfaction surveys into the QIL program in Namibia. As part of the QIL program inception activities, we conduct a baseline survey of patient satisfaction. We will implement conduct annual follow-up surveys using the same patients to the extent possible to determine and quantify impact. We will also tract media reports to see if reports of unnecessary near misses and deaths are on the decline.

Rachel House is the first pediatric palliative care service in Indonesia providing pain and symptom management to children from the marginalised communities living with cancer and HIV. It was founded in the hope that no child would ever have to die in pain, and built on the principle that “we are not here to add days to the children’s lives, but add life to their remaining days”.

I started my journey to establish Rachel House with a humble wish that no child should ever have to die in pain, if i have my way. This was after my visit to a public hospital in Indonesia where i saw children screaming in pain for the lack of pain killers that i was told would cost only US$10.

Expliquez en quoi consiste l '«innovation», par exemple, est-ce que c’est l'idée et / ou le modèle que vous utilisez pour accomplir votre projet, ou la compréhension de la population cible, etc.?
An affordable way of bringing pain & symptom management to the poorest communities in Indonesia.
We provide palliative (home)care service to children from the marginalized communities. As we are the 1st pediatric palliative care (“PC”) service in Indonesia, we started by providing PC training to medical professionals in the public health institutions. One of the initial key focuses of the training is impeccable assessment to ensure proper diagnosis and plan of care.
We found early in the process that the best advocate for patients are nurses; they can be "upskilled" to bring better care to patients, not only in the medical settings but also in patients' homes. Nurses quickly become the core of our service supported by medical consultants.
Following from this, we are now piloting a training program for women in the communities to enable them to bring basic healthcare assistance to patients who are trapped at home needing medical assistance and/or guidance to access healthcare ("health extension volunteers"). We hope the combination of well-trained nurses serving in the communities and trained health extension volunteers will provide better (& more affordable) access to reliable healthcare in Indonesia, working hand-in-hand with public health clinics that exist today.
We are also in discussions with several companies to sponsor training for rural nurses. We are proposing a 4-month training program stretched over a 2-year period to spread the PC knowledge, ensuring greater accessibility to pain & symptom management for all.
Décrivez comment votre modèle d'innovation est différent de toute autre organisation dans votre domaine?
Rachel House is the first and the only pediatric palliative homecare service available in Indonesia today, serving children from the marginalized communities in Jakarta living with cancer and HIV (free of charge).
We have found our service to be not only cost effective, but is a valuable complementary service to existing public (& at times, private) healthcare organisations, providing homecare support for patients needing medical assistance at home. Without our service, many of the patients would have spent their last days at home in horrific conditions.
Quel environnement et quels facteurs organisationnels internes font la réussite de votre projet ?
It is always our intention to share the PC knowledge with all in order to promote greater awareness and accessibility. We collaborate and network extensively to achieve this.
In order to spread the PC knowledge and ensure a smooth patient referral process for our service, we invite medical professionals from all healthcare organisations to participate in the PC training we organise;
We network widely with international PC experts to rally training support;
We work closely with other NGOs active in pediatric cancer and HIV to ensure our patients are supported with care that we are not able to provide;
We provide weekly training to public health workers & volunteers to promote awareness;
We tap into private & corporate networks for in-kind donations to keep our operational costs low.
Comment vous assurez-vous d’innover sans cesse à la lumière des défis externes (potentiels), ou de votre plan de croissance?
Our challenge is how can we spread the PC knowledge quickly without compromising on quality. If we believe that the essence of palliative care is simply excellent healthcare, then it should be a basic human right accessible to all.
Upskilling nurses to be the main advocate for patients has been an effective model. Nurses equipped with knowledge of disease trajectory and corresponding treatment are able to provide better care to patients and have more confidence to speak for and on behalf of patients to doctors. They are also able to provide better support for patients’ caregivers to ensure patient wellbeing.
The best solutions will come from an intimate understanding of the people we serve and the problems they face, while holding true to our vision.

We want to make sure children do not die in pain; that their last days are kept comfortable with their pain & symptoms well-managed.
Most of our patients are from poor families. An illness in these families would push them to destitution. All their money and possessions would be used/sold to find cure, that when treatment fails, the child would invariably spend his/her last days in considerable suffering.
For the lucky few that find their way to the hospitals, their final days may not necessarily be pain free as pain & symptom management is not a priority. For those that are trapped at home (due to lack of information or funds), no medical care is available to them to ease their suffering.
Accessibility to good pain & symptom management is a challenge in Indonesia.

Need: Pain & symptom management to add quality to patient's lives, especially for those trapped at home due to poverty & without access to resources.
Solution: Palliative care (not taught in medical & nursing schools when we began).
We train nurses to provide palliative care in patients’ homes without charge.
One of the key components in the PC training we provide is impeccable assessment to ensure better diagnosis, treatment and pain & symptom management. This training is provided to medical professionals in hospitals to ensure better management of pain & symptoms for patients, and ultimately, for these hospitals to refer patients to us.
We train public health workers & volunteers to ensure better care can be provided to those in need.
Quelle est votre vision et vos objectifs généraux?
Our vision is that no child should have to die in pain, alone & unloved.
Our objective is to make PC accessible to all children in need, providing effective pain & symptom management to add quality to their remaining days.
Our nurses are trained to have the best knowledge of cancer and HIV (the 2 areas we currently focus on), the disease trajectory and treatment to ensure the best care is provided to patients.
In bringing care to patients' homes, we make it possible for the patients to spend their remaining days in the comfort & security of their own homes.
We provide support to caregivers to allow them to give the best care to the children.
We share the PC knowledge widely to ensure PC can one day be accessible to all.
Quelle est votre proposition de valeur?
Pain and symptom management to relief the suffering of a dying child need not be a costly exercise.
With proper training, nurses can provide pain & symptom management to prevent costly (re)admissions to hospitals and emergency wards.
We have successfully proven through our team of well-trained nurses that excellent and effective PC can be provided to patients at home, making available affordable pain & symptom management to many.
Confidence in our nurses' ability has led to good flow of patient referrals from partner hospitals.
Our nurses are organised by locations and operate from satellite offices, reaching patients by motorcycles. They are supported by medical consultants to ensure the best care is provided, and where needed referrals are made for patients to be seen by doctors.
Qui est votre client/quels sont vos clients?
Our main customers are children (under 18) from the marginalised communities living with cancer and HIV, mainly referred by public health institutions and other NGOs; occasionally, by private hospitals (as we remain the only pediatric palliative home care service available).
The children's caregivers are also key customers, their wellbeing helps ensure the best care for children. Our nurses support the caregivers with information about the disease to allow them to confidently cope with the symptoms as they arise.
Training to ensure a widespread dissemination of PC knowledge is key to our work; hence, another key group of customers are the medical professionals from public/private health institutions, prisons etc., social workers, religious organisations & NGOs.
Quelles approches utilisez-vous pour atteindre vos clients?
For patient referrals:
1. Train medical professionals at public health institutions to increase awareness of PC and our service;
2. Establish a clear patient referral process, which did not exist previously;
3. Active engagement with patients & families while they are in hospitals to explain the role of PC;
4. Regular training sessions in the community (involving health-related NGOs, public heath workers & volunteers) to increase awareness of PC & to introduce our service;
5. Public seminars on PC with international panel of experts to spread the knowledge widely;
6. Network widely with other health-related NGOs;
7. Collaborate with hospitals on patient care.
Quelles sont vos principales activités?
1. Provide palliative (home) care to children living with cancer and HIV;
2. Care & support for their caregivers to ensure the best care for patients;
3. Training & Advocacy of PC in the community (incl. public health workers & volunteers, NGOs);
4. Establish large network of partner hospitals for patient referrals, and forge collaboration for best patient care;
5. PC training for medical professionals to spread the knowledge widely, in line with our belief that PC should be accessible to all.
Qui sont vos pairs et concurrents? Quels problèmes pourraient poser ces acteurs à votre succès ou la croissance de votre projet/idée?
At the moment, we are the only pediatric palliative (home)care service available in Indonesia.
The only inpatient pediatric PC unit in Indonesia is at Dharmais Hospital, the largest public cancer hospital in Indonesia; the unit came about as a result of the training organised by us. We work closely with the Dharmais team to provide homecare to the patients discharged from the ward.
We hope, in time, more hospitals in Indonesia will establish their own PC unit, which will ensure better quality of life for patients & their families. We do not see this as a competition, but a positive impact of our work.
We intend to train more nurses to replicate the team we have trained at Rachel House - to increase the PC capacity, not just for us but for Indonesia.
Quels autres défis - individuel, organisationnel, ou de l'environnement - faîtes-vous actuellement face ou pourraient nuire à la réussite future de votre entreprise, et comment comptez-vous les surmonter?
• Medical professionals' reluctance to learn and incorporate/integrate PC in their work, resulting in poor symptom management for patients. Culturally in Indonesia, doctors do not communicate with patients nor are they opened to be questioned, leaving patients poorly educated. We try to overcome this by training both doctors & patients. We believe change will come when patients are empowered to demand better care.
• While nursing & medical schools are starting to provide PC in their curriculum, these are unfortunately taught by people who have never practiced PC, raising the question of the accuracy of the knowledge being taught.
• Hospice regulation is still unclear.
• We hope training & advocacy will improve the current situation.
Décrivez brièvement votre stratégie de croissance à l'avenir
1. Continue to provide PC training to spread knowledge widely.
2. Recruit & train a doctor to lead the team of nurses.
3. Provide training to health volunteers to allow them to better support those who are sick at home.
4. Collaborate with corporate to sponsor the training of nurses from rural areas to improve accessibility.

Qu’est-ce qui rend votre entreprise "prête" pour la croissance?
We have proven the need for PC and have seen the impact of the care given by our nurses.
Our nurses have also been actively providing training to nurses at hospitals, nursing schools and the community.
Going forward, to improve accessibility we need to increase the coverage by training others, not only the medical professionals but also the community members.
Quels sont vos objectifs clés de croissance?
Provide better access to pain and symptom management for all in Indonesia, through:
1. Community Network in Palliative Care (CNPC) - train community members to provide basic PC and support to those who are sick at home;
2. Training of rural nurses - to ensure greater accessibility to PC;
3. Most important, to continue to upgrade and improve the quality of care given by our nurses.
Quel est votre calendrier pour la croissance, à court et à moyen terme? Quelles sont les étapes de la croissance et des activités clés à l'avenir?
CNPC Program:
2013: pilot (train 5 health volunteers in North Jakarta in early detection of cancer & HIV, public referral & welfare system, basic wound care, patient support information; monitor their work with patients supported by our nurses)
2014: proof of concept (train more groups in other areas of Jakarta), monitor the quality of patient care especially in wound care and patient support.
Training of rural nurses:
2013 - design a 4-month curriculum, get corporate sponsorship, pilot 1st training in Q4FY13
2014 - Monitor performance of 1st group of trainees in rural setting, launch 2 training groups
Training of medical professionals in Jakarta:
2013 & 2014 - 4 public PC training sessions, audit of our nurses' work by international experts (4 times/year)
lire plus↓↑ cacher↑ cacherJusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
Some of the most notable impact as a result of the PC training & advocacy we do include:
1. Dharmais Cancer Hospital started a pediatric PC unit in 2010 making PC available to approximately 200 children annually.
2. Harapan Kita, the largest women and children’s hospital with over 700 children (annually) under its care, is planning to launch a pediatric PC unit soon.
3. Cipto Mangunkusomo, the largest public hospital in Indonesia with over 1,000 children (annually) under its care started participating in the training in 2011, with the hope of starting its own unit eventually.
We partner these hospitals and many more in Jakarta to provide homecare for their discharged patients.
One of the significant improvements in the medical industry since we started has been the willingness of the medical professionals to prescribe morphine to alleviate pain. It took 2 years of education and hard lobbying by our panel of international experts. The impact of the availability of morphine for children with cancer is great; it has meant more peaceful last days for these children and a less traumatic time for their families. We are now lobbying the same for HIV patients.
Other data:
274 patients reached by our nurses since we began our service in 2008 (started with 5 patients in 2008);
270 medical professionals & 216 medical students have participated in our PC training.
773 community members participated in the PC awareness campaign.
Approximately 200 words left (1000 characters).
Quelles méthodes pour la quantification de l'impact social demandez-vous (le cas échéant)?
Number of hospital professionals trained (and providing PC to patients)
Number of partner hospitals established (and referring patients to us)
Number of patients provided with PC (by us and by the hospitals trained by us)
Number of NGOs & community members trained
Ideally, we would like to be able to quantify the cost savings enjoyed by hospitals resulting from the reduced patient (re)admissions to hospitals & emergency wards as a result of the homecare provided by us. Unfortunately this is not yet possible given the unavailability of data at these hospitals
Est-ce que votre solution peut fonctionner dans d'autres zones géographiques ou régions? Si oui, où?
We hope that our work can be replicated by the trained nurses from the rural areas. This is important as we hope to eventually make pain & symptom management accessible to people in the rural areas (thereby making pain medications available in those areas too). By training and upskilling the medical professionals in the rural areas, we hope to be able to improve healthcare in these areas, and eventually, the availability of drugs to help alleviate pain.
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des trois prochaines années?
CNPC: to train 78-90 community members under the program
Rural nurses: to train 38-45 nurses in basic PC to allow them to provide impeccable assessment and pain & symptom management for patients in the rural areas
Jakarta: Conduct 4 public PC seminars per year that will eventually be accredited, and most importantly, to be invited to teach PC at nursing schools (as part of their formal curriculum) in Jakarta.
For our core business of patient care: To continue to increase the network of partner hospitals to ensure a steady referral of patients. Patient number to reach an average of 100 patients per year (with 5 full time nurses).

We are planning to charge a fee for the rural nurse-training program. The concept for the program is that we would approach companies with business in the rural areas, such as companies in agricultural business, shrimp farms or mining companies. We would discuss with them the possibility of leaving behind a legacy of improved healthcare services for the communities they operate in. They can do this by sending nurses from these rural areas to participate in our 4-month training program. The fees we charge for this training program is designed to pay for our nurses’ salaries.
We hope to generate sufficient revenue from the Public Palliative Care Seminars to cover our costs of organizing the seminars. To-date, the fees have not covered the air-fare expenses for the international panel of teachers.

El Estado Chileno, siguiendo las directrices de OMS, a través de la ONU, ha señalado que la mejor forma de prevenir el contagio del VIH/SIDA es hacerse el examen que lo comprueba. Nosotros sentimos que si bien esta postura es valida, encontramos potencial en hacer participe a la ciudadanía de un proceso formativo y educativo, que de forma ludica y directa sea capaz de hacer plataformas publicas donde haya reflexiones relativas a esta materia.
Misson Statement: What will your venture do?
Nuestro proyecto busca generar voluntarios jóvenes,con vocación de liderazgo, que vengan desde la comunidad, en sus diversos espacios (juntas de vecinos, colegios, liceos, universidades, clubes deportivos) y cuyo interés sera potenciar sus habilidades comunicativas y su conciencia de un tema de relevancia social cotidiana, como el VIH/SIDA; que ello sirva para profundizar en otras temáticas derivadas de este problema, y que puedan educar y conversar con otros agentes sociales para sensibilizar en estos temas, pero para tambien incentivar una cultura propositiva y abierta a la socializacion de problemas.
Le système : décrivez un exemple spécifique montrant de quelle façon votre initiative fonctionne ; indiquez vos principales activités.
Suponiendo que un joven universitario heterosexual, que estudia medicina, quiere entrar a ser parte de este proyecto, entra a la capacitacion, aprueba, y se convierte en un monitor para otros jóvenes, sentimos que puede difundir su forma de entender el problema (seguramente abundante en conocimientos medicos), y puede recibir retroalimentacion de otras esferas (sociales, de genero) en la interaccion con otros lideres. Esto necesariamente implica que cuando eventualmente deba tratar este tema a lo largo de su vida profesional, tenga herramientas diferentes para acercarse al problema. Y asi, este ejemplo es transversal a realidades y disciplinas varias, como el derecho, el trabajo social, y las personas que trabajan en consultorios, hospitales, u organismos de voluntariado y asistencia.
The Community: Define the community that you work on behalf of. What population is affected? Are there other organizations working in this space?
Nos centramos en la comunidad local porque el alcance del proyecto seria muy complejo de otra forma. Nuestro publico objetivo son los jóvenes de entre 18 y 24 anos, los cuales sentimos son un sector etareo mas receptivo a este tipo de actividades. Entendemos que la población joven, sin embargo, esta sujeta a variados estímulos diferentes según el área urbanística en la cual habitan, y por eso queremos que este proyecto opere a nivel territorial, es decir, que cada comuna de la ciudad tenga un espacio determinado para trabajar. Somos una comunidad pionera en este tipo de trabajos, los cuales implican solamente a la ciudadanía, y que pongan el tema del VIH/SIDA como el tema fundamental.
Founding Story: What inspired your venture? Why?
Me parece que muchas veces ignoramos o preferimos caer en la soberbia de pensar que los lideres y factores de cambio son unos pocos virtuosos y escogidos; siento que un buen factor de cambio debe no solo cambiar su realidad existente, sino influenciar a otros a que lo hagan. Me inspira ver a otros jóvenes teniendo herramientas directas de cumplir sus aspiraciones, y de tener un lugar en una sociedad profundamente individualista.
Define your Venture in 1-2 short sentences

lire plus↓↑ cacher↑ cacherHow will your Venture define success in the short term (1-12 months)?
Estableceré dos criterios para medirlo.
El primero, tiene relación con la cantidad de gente.
El segundo, dice relación con una evaluación de impacto, que resultara de la sesión de feed-back que se tenga con los voluntarios-tutores, en los cuales se tengan en cuenta interrogantes como la cantidad de información aprendida en el taller, la calidad de las herramientas utilizadas y la cantidad de gente que parece mostrar interés comprometido.
In the long-term (1-3 years)?
Me parece que el indicar principal es, lógicamente, la continuidad de este proyecto. Seguir reclutando gente y generando espacios de discusión; ahora bien, en alcance que espero llegar a obtener, es tener la posibilidad de implementar este proyecto en alguna otra región del país.Como indicador, no solo denota, en mi opinión, la sostenibilidad de la idea, sino que cuento con elementos básicos que permitirán una ampliación eventual mayor.
How will you measure success?
El indicador principal es la cantidad de gente asistente a este proyecto y la cantidad de comunas donde logro ser emplazada con el numero mínimo de participantes que establecí anteriormente. De la misma manera, otro indicador relevante serán las sesiones de critica y evaluación que se tendrán con los voluntarios-tutores a fin de cada taller; quienes poseerán una pauta evaluativa con ciertos aspectos los cuales deberán calificar de 1 a 5. Con estos "ciertos aspectos" me refiero a: Calidad Organizacional, Efecto de las dinámicas, Tiempo de duración, etcétera.

La primera forma de reclutar será a través de mi propia red social y de amistades cercanas, luego avanzaremos a través de redes sociales virtuales donde sabemos que podemos llegar a un gran número de personas que quiera participar en este gran emprendimiento para y por la sociedad en la que estamos compartiendo.
How will you appoint new leaders and transfer leadership when the founding members want to leave the team?
Estaremos en constantes capacitaciones y reuniones, donde estaremos atentos a los talentos latentes de los participantes, con el fin de potenciarlos para y animarlos a ser agentes de cambio para cuando se les requiera.
How will you continue your project in 6-months time or once you have spent all of its initial capital?
Luego de insertarnos como un grupo consolidado en sociedad, apuntamos a seguir optando constantemente en concursos y proyectos municipales o comunales,. Pero principalmente, cuando existen personas con ganas y disposición, todo lo demás es secundario...

About 90% of Kiambu county populous lives below a dollar. The situation is even worse to families affected by HIV/Aids. Because of ardent poverty many families are not able to budget for sanitary towels since even food is not sufficient hence many girls miss school during their menses.

Many school going girls continue to miss school during their menses. According to UNICEF 2007 report, a girl in primary school between grades 6 and 8 (3 years) loses approximately 18 weeks out of 108 school weeks. A girl in high school (4 years) loses 156 learning days which is equivalent to almost 24 weeks out of 144 weeks of school. Because of poverty most use pieces of dirty rugs, cotton wool, leaves and paper some even wash and recycle. These practices expose them to diseases and discomfort.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
This project provides sanitary towels and under pants to poor girls and widows. The project also offers reproduction health & career mentor-ship training to kids of both genders with emphasis on girls who are more vulnerable.

Kiambu County has 1.6m people. Kiambu County populous live below one dollar. Poverty levels are extremely high contributed by lack of land, extended families share small potions of land because of dense population; this leaves many without farming lands. The proximity of Kiambu to Nairobi city makes migration of commercial sex workers a norm which only promotes the HIV/Aids spread. HIV/Aids prevalence stands at 8% higher than national prevalence which is 6.3%. The socio-economic impact of HIV/AIDs in the district include the highs school drop out rates, female and children headed families, loss of manpower and high mortality and morbidity rates, orphans etc. Lack of economic empowerment, education and information has made number of women in leadership and elective positions very low.
La persistance des taux élevés de mortalité et de mortalité liée à des problèmes de santé est due en grande partie aux insuffisances des politiques de santé qui limitent l’accès des PVVIH à des soins réguliers et de qualité. Ces insuffisances sont en grande partie dues au fait que les populations ne sont pas impliquées dans la conception, la mise en œuvre et le suivi des politiques de santé. En outre les décideurs ne disposent pas toujours de données exactes et à jour sur ces insuffisances pour leur permettre de prendre des mesures correctives adaptées et efficaces.

Though born innocent, HIV+ children have to cope with problems and stigma attached. As most HIV cases in Indonesia are among injecting drug users, they are also impacted by parents’ drug addiction and prolonged family conflict. Lacking socio-psychological and health support in golden age period, they potentially become the next lost generation.

Integrated Early Childhood Center for HIV Infected/ Affected Children and Their Family
Expliquez en quoi consiste l '«innovation», par exemple, est-ce que c’est l'idée et / ou le modèle que vous utilisez pour accomplir votre projet, ou la compréhension de la population cible, etc.?
The innovation is about our understanding of the arising demand for new service from the target population and the integrated service model that we offer.
1) Various studies have shown that HIV has spread among general population, beyond those supposedly at risk group. Accounted for this population is children, who are in fact the victims of their parents’ behavior. However, curative and preventive services are still mostly focused on adults, almost none available specifically for the children.
2) Parents/ caregiver play an important role in early childhood development to optimize children’s potential in order to ensure a good quality of life. Health, nutrition, stimulation, and affection are the necessary elements for proper growth and development. This intervention is designed to assist parents/ caregiver in addressing those needs through capacity and community building. For families in conflict due to drug addiction problem, a referral would be made to Rumah Cemara rehab program using peer to peer approach.
Décrivez comment votre modèle d'innovation est différent de toute autre organisation dans votre domaine?
By far, no organization in Indonesia has provided service like Integrated Early Childhood Care for HIV infected/affected children and their family.
F2H has developed such program with Taman Posyandu, however it’s for public/ general population. Considering that stigma on HIV/AIDS is still strong, it might be difficult for them to access the service. Thus we have to start from exclusive center prior to working toward inclusive service.
Some organizations are serving HIV+ children through hospice, together with late stage cancer patients. Public hospital gives medical service (but not specifically differentiated between paediatric and general medic care for adult).

A data from Rumah Cemara shows that at least 300 children (Aged 0-19) are recorded as HIV+ in West Java.
While some have accessed Anti Retroviral Treatment, many have to cope with other opportunistic infections which include multi-drug combination for treatment. Vulnerability to side effects and lack of knowledge among home caregivers have caused these children to suffer health problem.
In terms of socio-psychological problem, many of these children have to bear witness of their parents’ drug addiction/ illness/ death and rejection from family members and society. Such emotional trauma in golden age period will affect children’s socio-psychological development.

Objective:
a) To fulfill children’s physical and psycho-social need through health, nutrition, and development program
b) To educate parents and caregiver the know-how of optimizing children growth and development
c) To educate public about HIV/AIDS, thus preventing the disease and eliminating the stigma

Qui sont vos pairs et concurrents? Quels problèmes pourraient poser ces acteurs à votre succès ou la croissance de votre projet/idée?
By far, we saw no competitor providing service like Integrated Early Childhood Care for HIV infected/affected children and their family.
We expect to collaborate with the following: organization working on HIV issue, medical institution/ professionals, early childhood education institution/ professionals, also health related governmental bodies.
Quels autres défis - individuel, organisationnel, ou de l'environnement - faîtes-vous actuellement face ou pourraient nuire à la réussite future de votre entreprise, et comment comptez-vous les surmonter?
The biggest challenge is environmental: the stigma of HIV/AIDS in the society. Thus this initiative must be coupled with efforts to educate the public about the truth and myth of the disease, such that they can avoid the virus, not the people.
Décrivez brièvement votre stratégie de croissance à l'avenir
Replication of the pilot nationwide, particularly in areas where HIV case rate is high among general population. To do so we aim to collaborate with local and international NGO and government.

Global Health Corps: Health is a Human Right
Expliquez en quoi consiste l '«innovation», par exemple, est-ce que c’est l'idée et / ou le modèle que vous utilisez pour accomplir votre projet, ou la compréhension de la population cible, etc.?
Global Health Corps aims to mobilize a global community of emerging leaders to build the movement for health equity.
Changing the unacceptable status quo of deep health inequities requires a new generation of leaders with diverse skills and backgrounds. Emerging leaders need opportunities to build their skills and a community in which to reflect and innovate.
GHC provides opportunities for young professionals from diverse backgrounds and nationalities, to work on the frontlines of the fight for global health equity in yearlong fellowships. Our fellows have a measurable impact on the health of the communities in which they work, and draw upon their fellowship experience and the GHC alumni network to deepen their impact throughout their career.
The Global Health Corps program consists of three primary components:
• Building partnerships and increasing the impact of great organizations today
• Training and Supporting the leaders of tomorrow
• Building a global community of changemakers
Global Health Corps’ programming and training curriculum is based on a leadership development framework that integrates professional development, intellectual exploration, and interior formation as it relates to conducting service work. Over the course of the fellowship year and following, fellows will be provided opportunities to build their skills and strengths in each of these domains. Through our programming, fellows develop and continually “practice” leadership behaviors and skills that we consider crucial to achieving progress in global health and social change work.
Décrivez comment votre modèle d'innovation est différent de toute autre organisation dans votre domaine?
GHC partners with organizations working on healthcare delivery and access. Fellows work with organizations in yearlong positions and make significant and measurable contributions to the organizations and the target population. Each fellowship team is composed of a pair of fellows, one from the country where the partner organization works, partnered with an international fellow. Over the course of the fellowship year, fellows participate in a wide range of activities aimed at increasing their effectiveness as practitioners and their development as leaders. Throughout the year, they receive on-going training, support and mentorship from the GHC team and our network of advisers. Fellows build a set of shared values, commitment and skills that they carry well beyond the fellowship year.

Changing the unacceptable status quo of deep health inequities requires a new generation of leaders with diverse skills and backgrounds. The extreme disparity in health outcomes and access to healthcare that exists today between the world’s rich and the world’s poor is unjust and unsustainable. Opportunities are scarce for individuals with backgrounds outside of medicine to use their unique skills in public health. At the same time, for those who work in public health, a lack of community among leaders limits collaboration, knowledge sharing and support. To truly improve the health of those most in need, we must come together across broad divides of geography, class, professional discipline, religion, and age.

GHC programming and training curriculum is based on a leadership development framework that integrates professional development, intellectual exploration, and interior formation as it relates to conducting service work. Over the course of the fellowship year of the fellowship and following, fellows will be provided opportunities to build their skills and strengths in each of these domains. GHC will create a pipeline of young leaders for the global health equity movement today, and at scale will play a central role in sustaining and consistently reinvigorating this movement for change. This infusion of young, passionate, skilled leaders will help to tip the balance towards a more equitable and just global distribution of health services.
Quelle est votre vision et vos objectifs généraux?
GHC believes that a global movement of individuals and organizations fighting for improved health outcomes and access to healthcare for the poor is necessary in order to change the unacceptable status quo of extreme inequity. GHC works to strengthen this movement by recruiting, training, and supporting the movement’s future leaders. GHC draws young people with diverse talents and skills from a broad range of backgrounds, geographies and past experiences to diversify the pool of committed people working in global health, and amplify the impact of individuals through the formation of a strong community of leaders.

lire plus↓↑ cacher↑ cacherJusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
In July 2012, Global Health Corps welcomed its fourth class of fellows. Class sizes have grown consistently from 22 fellows in the first year to 90 currently. Over the past three years, GHC has placed and supported 216 fellows from 15 countries in East Africa, Southern Africa, and the United States. Fellows have built financial management systems for grassroots HIV organizations in Uganda, counseled homeless teenagers in New Jersey, supported district pharmacies in Rwanda in rolling our new supply chain management tools, and conducted policy research in Washington DC. As a young organization, GHC’s programming has evolved significantly from year to year, with new programming components added and new operational systems developed to support growing class sizes.
Global Health Corps is currently in the process of selecting fellows for the 2013-2014 class. Applications for the new class opened on December 3, 2012 and closed on February 3, 2013. We received 9,330 applications from 3,878 applicants. We hope to select 108 fellows by May 2013 for positions serving more than 45 placement organizations in our 6 placement countries. The 2013 Training Institute for the new class will take place at Yale University from July 7-20, 2013.
Quelles méthodes pour la quantification de l'impact social demandez-vous (le cas échéant)?
GHC conducts regular surveys to ensure that programming meets fellows’ needs and placement organizations are satisfied with fellow’ contributions and with the support provided by GHC. The focus of the next three years is to supplement these surveys with assessments of fellow growth in leadership practice areas, and to use the results to continually inform programming.

GHC believes that the global health equity movement needs effective leaders now! With the aim of helping other organizations and people develop GHC-style leaders, GHC will develop the capacity to easily share the GHC leadership development framework, curricula, programming guides and assessment tools with others interested in leadership development.
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des trois prochaines années?
To achieve its mission, GHC intends to expand the size of its fellowship class as much as possible while maintaining the quality of each fellowship experience. GHC intends to grow every year for the next six years, at which point the annual corps will number 500 fellows. We seek to be truly global, and will expand to new regions of the world over the next five years. But to ensure a high quality of experience for the fellows, and to maximize the support GHC can provide to fellows, GHC will expand in hubs of impact, clustering fellowships in specific regions rather than establishing small numbers of fellowships in a larger number of regions.

People are bullied and harassed everyday but some kind of difference they have. It could be religon, gender, color, citizenship staus, sexual orintation, etc. We need stop this epidemic of bullying. Everyday kids/teens/ and adults kill themselves due to bullying. If we are able to stop this worldwide spread of harassement, I believe that suicide rates around the world could drop. If i have peers that have been bullied, and other peers that are ex-bullies , we can so the world we dont have to fight and we could have a socially peaceful world.
Cheap and reliable diagnosis of diseases in rural areas, with lack of electricity or water, and inadequately trained healthcare staff are widespread problems in less developed countries.

Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust (HACT) began in 1990 as an effort by the local Methodist church to contribute to the fight against the emerging HIV pandemic. The then Minister had attended a talk in the USA about HIV/AIDS and returned to Hillcrest confronted by the reality that the Valley of 1000 Hills region was about to erupt as the epicentre of the world’s HIV/AIDS pandemic.

Holistic Approach to HIV Care and Prevention
Expliquez en quoi consiste l '«innovation», par exemple, est-ce que c’est l'idée et / ou le modèle que vous utilisez pour accomplir votre projet, ou la compréhension de la population cible, etc.?
Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust provides a multifaceted model of HIV care that tackles the many causes for an increased HIV prevalence within the community where we work. The issues we address across our departments include poverty, low education rates, poor nutrition, lack of healthcare access, a historically disempowered population, and social and cultural stigmas. Over the past 22 years the Centre has expanded its suite of projects and programmes year on year, always in response to the needs on the ground in the communities we serve. Today, our projects focus on three main aspects: care, poverty alleviation and prevention of new infections. Projects include: a 24-bed Respite Unit, an out-patients clinic staffed by nurses, a home-based care project, HIV education programmes in schools and workplaces, HIV testing and counselling, a horticulture project, an onsite plant nursery, an onsite craft store and craft workshop, a feeding scheme, a clothing scheme, a school feed fund and a grannie support group project.
Our model is particularly innovative as we maintain a community-centered approach where we employ over 60 staff members, the majority of whom come from the surrounding communities, and many of whom are infected or affected by HIV/AIDS, thus creating leaders of all ages in the areas we serve. Our prominence in the community and variety of services available also enables us to not only provide holistic support and care for the HIV infected and affected population but also to refer community members to more specialized care when needed.
Décrivez comment votre modèle d'innovation est différent de toute autre organisation dans votre domaine?
Unlike the other organizations in our field, Hillcrest AIDS Centre is the only organisation providing palliative care to impoverished people, and specifically to people with end-stage AIDS, in congruence with prevention, income generation, nutritional support, and educational programs. While there are other non-profit organisations serving the area in a variety of ways, addressing poverty primarily, no other organisation is specifically focusing on addressing the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Furthermore, no other organization has an outreach like ours. We serve communities within the Valley of 1000 Hills region, supporting people of all ages from small children to elderly grandmothers.
Quel environnement et quels facteurs organisationnels internes font la réussite de votre projet ?
Through the presence we have built within the community over decades, we have been able to identify potential leaders in the community who are dedicated and passionate to the fight against HIV/AIDS. This combined with the support of international funders, such as the Stephen Lewis Foundation, Oxfam, and NACOSA, gives us a diversity of perspectives to best tailor our innovation to the community’s needs thereby ensuring success. We are also governed by an eleven member Board of Trustees comprised of experts in the fields of business, finance, medicine, and community development in addition to leaders from the local churches.
Comment vous assurez-vous d’innover sans cesse à la lumière des défis externes (potentiels), ou de votre plan de croissance?
As a non-profit organisation, sustainability is a priority and we are continuously looking at ways to decrease our dependency on donors by increasing our income generation activities. To ensure long-term sustainability, we look for donors that can provide multi-year funding contracts, and we also avoid having any one project funded by one large donor, preferring to diversify our donor base to minimise the implications should one donor pull out.

Situated in the accessible town of Hillcrest, we serve several poverty-torn, semi-rural communities in the Valley of 1000 Hills region in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa – one of the epicentres of the world’s HIV pandemic with estimated HIV-infection rates of up to 40-60% of the population in some communities. Along with high HIV infection rates, the Valley of 1000 Hills region has high rates of unemployment, low matric pass rates, high rates of teen pregnancy, drug and alcohol abuse and crime. There are a few government clinics in the areas we serve however they are severely under-resourced and under-staffed. While there are other NPOs serving the area in a variety of ways, addressing poverty primarily, no other organization focuses specifically on addressing the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

Our mission is to provide unconditional love to all infected and affected by HIV/AIDS in a practical, sustainable way. Our vision is to see the elimination of HIV-related stigma, new HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths. Our objectives include to:
• Comprehensively assess the health status and social situation of everyone who approaches us for help
• Provide holistic, individualised care for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), including HIV tests, CD4 counts, health checks, home-based care, ARV readiness training, and inpatient respite/palliative care
•Empower PLWHA to become financially self-sustaining through income-generation and poverty-alleviation initiatives
•Provide education and training on HIV/AIDS to help prevent new infections and keep PLWA healthy as long as possible.
Quelle est votre vision et vos objectifs généraux?
Our long-term vision is to be a model of a holistic response to HIV/AIDS that can be replicated in other communities/areas and that brings hope to tens of thousands of people who are living with HIV, and hope to South Africa as a whole. We want to create employment for thousands and enable tens of thousands to generate their own income through crafts, sewing, vegetable gardens and other horticulture projects. We want to see people who are HIV Positive living full, long lives, and people who are HIV Negative remaining HIV negative. We hope to see a decrease in the demand for our Respite Unit due to fewer people becoming so ill, and in increase in our income generation activities – all as a result of our prevention/awareness work.
Quelle est votre proposition de valeur?
The Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust (HACT) is a multifaceted, holistic HIV/AIDS project that exists to provide unconditional love to all infected and affected by HIV/AIDS in a practical, sustainable way.
Qui est votre client/quels sont vos clients?
With regards to our community outreach and HIV services, our customers are our patients and rural community members who are enrolled in our programs. Our customers are also members of the community who buy plants from our horticulture project, locals and visitors who shop at our crafts store, and international consumers who buy crafts from our partner organizations and online.
Quelles approches utilisez-vous pour atteindre vos clients?
For the Valley of 1000 hills community that we serve, our community outreach is done primarily through word of mouth, local publicity (TV news, radio, newspapers), and by making announcements in each neighborhood with a loudspeaker. For customers of our craft stores and garden project, we reach out to them with our website, a variety of social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), newspapers, emails, online and print newsletters/reports, and most of all by encouraging them to visit our centre to experience the work we do and the communities they impact first hand.
Quelles sont vos principales activités?
Projects include: a 24-bed Respite Unit, an out-patients clinic staffed by nurses, a home-based care project, HIV education programmes in schools and workplaces, HIV testing and counselling, a horticulture project, an onsite plant nursery, an onsite craft store and craft workshop, a feeding scheme, a clothing scheme, a school feed fund and a grannie support group project.
Qui sont vos pairs et concurrents? Quels problèmes pourraient poser ces acteurs à votre succès ou la croissance de votre projet/idée?
Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust aims to fill the gaps in service left by the government healthcare sector and other organization. As such we build strong partnerships with other public healthcare services, non-profit organizations, and non-governmental organizations to best serve the community at large.
Quels autres défis - individuel, organisationnel, ou de l'environnement - faîtes-vous actuellement face ou pourraient nuire à la réussite future de votre entreprise, et comment comptez-vous les surmonter?
Our biggest challenge we face are the stigmas against HIV/AIDS within the community. As we employ over 60 staff members, the majority of whom come from the surrounding communities, many of whom are infected or affected by HIV/AIDS and have come through our programmes, it is imperative that we as an organization break down stigmas together among our staff in order to be successful in the communities where we work. This challenges are overcome with staff development, personal growth, and HIV/AIDS education opportunities as well as a long-term investment in the well-being of our staff members.
Décrivez brièvement votre stratégie de croissance à l'avenir
In five years we would like to have expanded our current site and projects to be employing 100 people, and to have launched a community centre including a Respite Unit, HIV testing and OVC programmes in one of the communities. We would like 1000 people to be empowered to generate income for themselves in the next five years. We are also expanding our reach to support 150 children within the year.
Vers quelles dimensions de croissance vous orientez-vous actuellement pour votre innovation [cochez toutes les cases appropriées]
Groupe(s) de nouveaux clients , Nouvelle(s) région (s).
Qu’est-ce qui rend votre entreprise "prête" pour la croissance?
Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust has multiple departments and projects, all of which support each other. Our growth going forward will be to better integrate these programs under the spectrum of holistic HIV care and to expand our reach while moving towards a more sustainable outcome.
Quels sont vos objectifs clés de croissance?
• To comprehensively assess the health status and social situation of everyone who approaches us for help
• To provide holistic, individualised care for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA),
• To empower PLWHA to become financially self-sustaining through income-generation and poverty-alleviation initiatives
• To provide education and trainings on HIV/AIDS to help prevent new infections
Quel est votre calendrier pour la croissance, à court et à moyen terme? Quelles sont les étapes de la croissance et des activités clés à l'avenir?
We hope to see a decrease in the demand for our Respite Unit due to fewer people becoming so ill, and in increase in our income generation activities – all as a result of our prevention/awareness work. We would like 1000 people to be empowered to generate income for themselves in the next five years.

Number of patients being treated for TB: 1000
Number of community members educated with HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness in 2012: Roughly 4000

Number of orphans and vulnerable children served: 700-1000 per year
Percentage of patients testing positive: The number of females testing positive showed an 8% decrease in the past year while the number of males showed a 2% decrease in the past year.
Quelles méthodes pour la quantification de l'impact social demandez-vous (le cas échéant)?
We measure social impact based on both outreach of our programs (ie. number of people/families impacted, number of communities involved, number of community gardens started, etc.), the amount of income generated by the community through our centre's projects, and HIV specific outcomes such as the number of people tested, number of people who test positive, number of people who recover from our respite unit, etc. As we are an HIV/AIDS oriented organization our impact must keep both healthcare and community development measures in mind in order to assess social impact.
Est-ce que votre solution peut fonctionner dans d'autres zones géographiques ou régions? Si oui, où?
Our solution has the ability to work in rural communities around the globe impacted by highly stigmatized diseases, illnesses, or infections given the necessary country and culture specific adaptations are made. Our centre would ideally be replicated in an area near to but outside of the communities affected, in a location that is central and easily accessible. This aspect of our organization has been key in allowing us to break down the stigmas around HIV/AIDS while still providing community focused initiatives. Lastly, our commitment to sustainability has been a major component to our long-term success and must continue to be priority in order for this solution to work elsewhere.
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des trois prochaines années?
In addition to the statistics mentioned being replicated at the same rate, thereby increasing our impact, we anticipate the number of HIV tests conducted and the number of individuals enrolled in our education program to also increase with the development and implementation of a new pediatric HIV program. This project, which builds on our existing orphan and vulnerable children program by ensuring early testing and identification as well as on-going psychosocial support, promises to enroll 60 children in the program every 6-9 months for the next few years. In addition, after the first year the program will follow in suit with our already established projects by incorporating personal development and income generation opportunities for orphans and youth in child headed households.

HACT has an annual fundraising target of just under R9 million, of which close to R3 million comes in from our income generation project. As a non-profit organisation, we are continuously looking at ways to decrease our dependency on donors by increasing our income generation activities. Our Woza Moya craft project is completely self-sustaining, with income from sales funding the employment of staff and the payment of crafters. Sales from our plant nursery currently fund roughly 40% of the costs of our community gardens project, and the plan is to see this become a self-sustaining project in the future with plant sales funding 100% of the costs of the community gardens project. On the education/prevention side, we are looking to increase our corporate HIV education and testing work and also our HIV training, so as to generate income that we will use to implement our education/prevention programmes in the community. Our HIV care is, and most likely will remain, donor funded. To ensure long-term sustainability, we look for donors that can provide multi-year funding contracts, and we also avoid having any one project funded by one large donor, preferring to diversify our donor base to minimise the implications should one donor pull out.

Nous voulons entendre parler de votre moment "Aha!". Racontez nous l'histoire du lieu et du moment où le(s) fondateur(s) a/ont vu le potentiel de cette solution pour changer le monde.
The “Siyakhana SME Project” was established as a public-private-partnership at a time when the South African Government's response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic was incoherent and highly contested. Building on its own workplace programme, DCSA (now MBSA) sought to provide a comprehensive HIV/AIDS programme to SMEs in Buffalo City in order to stave off a looming catastrophe.

Workplace Health Services
Expliquez en quoi consiste l '«innovation», par exemple, est-ce que c’est l'idée et / ou le modèle que vous utilisez pour accomplir votre projet, ou la compréhension de la population cible, etc.?
In South Africa, issues of Workplace Health are well-addressed through legislative mechanisms. While it is improving, the monitoring of compliance with legislation has, unfortunately, been weak. At the same time, SA has, since 1994, subscribed to a free market approach to economic policy. The consequent deregulation of aspects of some industries and the lowering of entry barriers in others has seen a proliferation of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), many of whom operate on the margins of the economy. Resource-constrained SMEs often perceive facilitating workers' access to health services as "an unaffordable luxury".
The Siyakhana Health Trust's innovative "SME Project" brings health services to workers in SMEs at a nominal cost to the company, at no cost to the individual, and with minimal disruption to production. Services are extended to family and dependents - these are accessed off-site, but also at no cost to the individual.
What began as an HIV/AIDS voluntary counselling and testing service has evolved into a fully-fledged workplace health service. The resultant service offering is unique in that it supports the government's objectives relating to worker health across multiple legislative, policy, and strategic domains. (These include, among others, the Labour Relations Act, the Occupational Health and Safety Act, the National Strategic Plan on HIV/AIDS and TB, WHO & ILO Health at Work conventions).
Our innovative approach aims to keep healthy workers at work in health-promoting workplaces.
Décrivez comment votre modèle d'innovation est différent de toute autre organisation dans votre domaine?
Our innovation model is distinct in 4 ways:
1) To our knowledge, there are no other citizen sector non-profits providing mobile occupational and general health services to SMEs
2) While there are a number of private sector service providers in the field, they tend to focus on either Occupational Health OR Primary Health Care OR HIV/AIDS. Siyakhana, by contrast, offers an holistic set of services ranging from general health screening to occupational health policy planning, on a not-for-profit basis.
3) Most service providers require workers to leave their workplace to attend off-site clinics. Siyakhana's mobile facility takes services to workplaces
4) No other service provider extends services to workers' dependents at no cost to the individual
Quel environnement et quels facteurs organisationnels internes font la réussite de votre projet ?
The operating environment in which Siyakhana has located itself is influenced by a number of "streams", primarily legislative, economic, social, and health. In many ways, Siyakhana operates at the intersection of these "streams". A positive intersection exists right now since there is a growing realisation of the inextricable link between the health of workers, the profitability of the companies they work for, and the strength of the economy. The external environment is increasingly aware of the need for the services we offer.
Success depends on our agility in responding to varied needs of companies. We thus utilise a flexible staffing model that allows us to deploy expertise where and when necessary. Funding security influences the extent to which the innovation can be replicated.
Comment vous assurez-vous d’innover sans cesse à la lumière des défis externes (potentiels), ou de votre plan de croissance?
Having utilised a partnership delivery model from the outset has ensured that Siyakhana is always able to source and introduce cutting edge thinking and developments, via our funding and technical partners.
Open engagement with government has also ensured that we have contributed, not only responded, to changes in policy at a national, provincial and regional level.
At times when policies have proven to be a hindrance, rather than a facilitator, to our work, we have worked with communities to access innovative alternative services, such as our network of private sector general practitioners who deliver HIV/AIDS treatment.
Our mobile facility is fitted with state-of-the-art equipment, requiring staff to be up-to-date with the latest screening techniques at all times.

SMEs tend to focus on their core business, and not on the health of their employees. However, healthy employees are crucial to business success, and contribute directly to a thriving economy. For workers to access basic health care in the public sector in South Africa often requires them to take substantial time from work to join long queues in over-crowded, often poorly resourced clinics. Also, the notion of creating healthy workplaces is often assumed to be the preserve of big, rich companies.
Many SMEs are unaware of the obligations placed on employers with respect to the health and safety of their employees by the OHS Act. By providing onsite health and hazard screening, Siyakhana makes it possible for SMEs to meet legal (OHS Act) obligations & to ensure the health of their workers.

S'il vous plaît décrivez votre solution de façon plus détaillée
We have always partnered with the chamber of business to reach local SMEs, where we have provided HIV/AIDS & health services that would otherwise be unaffordable. Since 2012, our general health offerings have been augmented by comprehensive Occupational Health Services. A team of health professionals, highly skilled in the areas of infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases and occupational health, delivers services on-site in a flexible manner that ensures minimal disruption to the operations of the SMEs. Spouses and children of SME employees can access the exact same services (except for occupational health screening) at an off-site location at no cost to the individual employees or their dependents.
Quelle est votre vision et vos objectifs généraux?
Our mission is to provide holistic workplace health management to our member SMEs through operationalising the World Health Organisation’s Healthy Workplaces Model.
Our vision is of a society where communities are aware of common health risks and are able to take responsible action.
We have three objectives:
(1) By the end of 2017, 85% of Siyakhana SME Project members will comply with the pertinent provisions of the Occupational Health and Safety Act of 1993
(2) By the end of 2017, the ill-health absenteeism rate at the Siyakhana SME Project members will have declined by 10% due to the delivery of comprehensive health screening services
(3) Siyakhana will deliver a minimum of four wellness expos, with an emphasis on HIV/AIDS, to communities in the Border-Kei region each year
Quelle est votre proposition de valeur?
We deliver world class, mobile workplace health services to small and medium enterprises in and around Buffalo City in the Eastern Cape. Our mobile, on-site services minimize down-time, optimize worker health and safety, and support productivity and profitability.
Our services are available at nominal cost to qualifying SMEs, and are extended to all employees and their dependents at no cost to individuals.
All services are delivered in the strictest confidence; while individuals are counselled to reveal their HIV status if they have tested positive, they are supported in whatever decision they make regarding disclosure.
Qui est votre client/quels sont vos clients?
Our customers are resource-constrained small and medium enterprises employing fewer than 200 people in any industrial sector.
The beneficiaries of our services include the workplaces (employers), employees, and employees' dependents.
Our services are available to non-qualifying businesses on a fee-for-service basis.
Quelles approches utilisez-vous pour atteindre vos clients?
Since inception, Siyakhana has partnered with the Border-Kei Chamber of Business. As members (and beneficiaries) of the Chamber, we make use of quarterly newsletters to place advertorials and news items. The Chamber also actively promotes our services to its members.
We use a zero-level channel to sell our services to potential clients / members. Potential members are approached through flyer distribution, email campaigns, direct calls, and word-of-mouth.
Our mobile clinic is very visibly branded, and therefore doubles as a mobile advertising board.
Quelles sont vos principales activités?
The Mobile Clinic / clinical teams move between workplaces to provide on-site services.
Clinicians provide medical surveillance and integrated health screening.
Once SHT has established the occupational hygiene profile of a workplace, or the health status of an individual, appropriate remedial responses are activated in consultation with the SME / employee (as appropriate).
All employees (or their dependents) who test positive for HIV are referred into our treatment programme.
Health promotion literature, management training, & policy development are all included in the nominal SME membership fee.
Working directly with Buffalo City Health, Provincial and District health services, Siyakhana also carries out health promotion activities in communities throughout the Border-Kei region.
Qui sont vos pairs et concurrents? Quels problèmes pourraient poser ces acteurs à votre succès ou la croissance de votre projet/idée?
We are the only NGO delivering these services in this region.
We collaborate with a private sector provider of occupational health services to reach non-qualifying companies in the region.
General practitioners who may otherwise have deemed our services to be competing with theirs have instead become an integral component of our service offering.
Because we have always adopted a collaborative approach, we have not encountered hostility or negative competition.
We are therefore able to focus on delivering the best quality of services to the intended beneficiaries.
Quels autres défis - individuel, organisationnel, ou de l'environnement - faîtes-vous actuellement face ou pourraient nuire à la réussite future de votre entreprise, et comment comptez-vous les surmonter?
The biggest challenge we are facing as an organisation is financial sustainability. Siyakhana has always been generously supported by corporate and donor funding, through MBSA in particular. Funders' own exit strategies require that recipients develop financial independence.
To this end, Siyakhana has formalised a resource diversification strategy, coupled with a marketing strategy. Conscious effort is being applied to identify and nurture new funders, create opportunities to generate fee-revenue (by selling our services to non-qualifying businesses on a fee-for-service basis), and to expand our client base. We are also paying attention to our cyber-presence, and intend to establish a social media profile.
Décrivez brièvement votre stratégie de croissance à l'avenir
Growth will take place on 3 levels:
1. Service range
SHT's service offering is regularly updated in response to client needs, but remains within the envelope of our area of expertise
2. Geographic reach
Through innovations such as the addition of a mobile clinic, we are able to grow beyond existing geographic boundaries
3. Client profile
With fee-for-service options, we can service non-SMEs
Vers quelles dimensions de croissance vous orientez-vous actuellement pour votre innovation [cochez toutes les cases appropriées]
Groupe(s) de nouveaux clients , Nouvelle(s) région (s).
Qu’est-ce qui rend votre entreprise "prête" pour la croissance?
We have expanded our service offering, and recently become more accessible through our mobile clinic. This means that constraints to our services have been minimised, so we are able to service SMEs in a wider geographic range, and offer them more services.
The pressure on us to generate own revenue provides further impetus for expansion.
Quels sont vos objectifs clés de croissance?
We seek to recruit more companies to the project so that more people are made aware of common health risks, are screened for these risks, and, if vulnerable or affected, have access to quality treatment and remain healthy and economically active for longer.
Based on the economic profile of our area of operation, we expect growth in the Agricultural, Mining, Construction and Manufacturing sectors
Quel est votre calendrier pour la croissance, à court et à moyen terme? Quelles sont les étapes de la croissance et des activités clés à l'avenir?
Our mid-term growth time frame is five years (2013 - 2017). Our growth milestones are divided into Membership, Revenue and Cost Recovery.

An independent external evaluation of the Siyakhana SME Project conducted in 2010 found that:
"Siyakhana’s innovative approach to providing access to HIV/AIDS care for employees in small enterprise and to their dependents is now widely recognised, not only in the project area, but nationally in South Africa and even internationally. Its value‐added engagement with organised business and with public entities in delivering health care services to people living with HIV and to patients with AIDS and/or TB has been very successful, and this report will show that the effort is highly deserving of continued support.
The partnership model has definite potential to be fully integrated into public services in a sustainable way, and is no doubt one of the flagship projects operating in the Eastern Cape. Participating government clinics in the project without exception indicated that Siyakhana has become an integral part of their service delivery capacity in the region, and that their ability to deliver a high standard of quality of care has been, and is, directly attributable to the support provided via the project."
By December 2012, Siyakhana had:
Trained 638 managers on HIV/AIDS in the workplace
Prepared 90 focal persons to coordinate workplace programs
Equipped 190 peer educators
Conducted 101workplace health screening campaigns
Trained and counselled 16 648 employees
Tested 13 345 of the employees counselled for HIV
Referred 1 382 people who tested positive into the HIV treatment programme
Provided treatment, care and support to 715 patients
Quelles méthodes pour la quantification de l'impact social demandez-vous (le cas échéant)?
Campaign statistics (as presented above) are generated and analysed, both for our own purposes and to feed into the applicable Provincial and National registers.
Siyakhana subjects itself to regular evalutations, which serve to maintain funder and stakeholder confidence on one hand, and ensure the maintenance of best practice on the other. The next evaluation is scheduled for 2014.
Est-ce que votre solution peut fonctionner dans d'autres zones géographiques ou régions? Si oui, où?
Yes.
The solution is not circumscribed by geography, but rather by the willingness of partners to contribute.
The solution can be rolled out anywhere that public private partnerships are viable delivery vehicles.
Using the partnership methodologies refined in the delivery of HIV/AIDS services, and later general health screening and awareness, Siyakhana was able to introduce new workplace health services in 2012. The new services focus on occupational health at the shop floor level.
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des trois prochaines années?
The HIV/AIDS indicators detailed above will continue to be tracked, and are expected to improve incrementally as our growth targets are met. In terms of the Workplace Health Services (occupational health focus) expansion of our service offering, we anticipate that the improved health of workers will improve regional productivity. Furthermore, legal compliance with the OHS Act and decreased absenteeism (resulting from our comprehensive occupational and general health services) will directly, positively impact the economic prospects of the area.

Siyakhana was established as a public benefit organisation; a non-profit trust. This organisational model assumes that at least 80% of all income will be in the form of grants or deeds of donation. The organisation is entitled to generate only 20% of all revenue through direct sale of services.
To date, the bulk of the funding supporting Siyakhana has been provided by Mercedes-Benz South Africa (MBSA). This funding will taper off over the next three years. Efforts to replace this primary source have been undertaken over the past year.
In addition to current donor funds, the organisation has retained sufficient reserves to fund its operations for a year.
The partnership model utilised by Siyakhana has seen a number of partners making critical contributions to the delivery of services without directly funding the operations of the organisation. For example, the formalised collaboration with the Department of Health provides for all laboratory testing and some drug therapies at no cost to the Project.

Expliquez votre stratégie de génération de revenus de manière plus détaillée
Qualifying SMEs are invited to join the project as members. A service level agreement is established with each individual SME for a 2-year period. Each SME makes a nominal membership contribution which is calculated according to the number of people they employ. To date, membership fees have accounted for less than 2% of annual income. With the addition of Occupational Health Services, the membership contribution will increase progressively towards the 20% threshold for cost recovery.
The balance of the 20% own revenue will be made up through fee-for-service, competitive sales of services to non-qualifying companies.

Our future philanthropic approach has four dimensions:
1) Nurture existing funders: through sharing our work, reporting proactively on the utilisation of resources, and providing independent evaluations of our achievements, we aim to retain good faith relations with existing supporters
2) Develop new corporate and donor funders: we have prepared a detailed organisational strategy which forms the basis of submissions and appeals to new funders
3) We have begun to develop channels for individual giving (off our website, for example) and intend to establish relationships with people and companies who are interested in small donations
4) Smart investing of grants received will enable Siyakhana to benefit from investment (interest) income as well.

SHT’s medium-term goal is to provide an integrated health services offering that includes health screening, workplace medical surveillance and limited primary health care services to SMEs and their employees.
Se estima que en Honduras un 10.5% de los que están viviendo con el VIH son menores de 20 años de las cuales 41.8% son mujeres. En Honduras, especialmente desde las últimas dos décadas, las personas Lesbianas, Gay, trans y Bisexuales (diversidad sexual) han sido objeto de diferentes tipos de violaciones a los derechos civiles y sociales que afectan diferentes ámbitos de nuestras vidas, como el acceso a la salud, educación, empleo formal, seguridad y justicia. Las violaciones se han traducido en agresiones verbales, acoso sexual, exclusión social e institucional, violencia física y tortura.

Idée (vous êtes sur le point de lancer le projet)
Le besoin: Quel problème social ou environnemental essayez-vous de résoudre?
Having learnt across the years through the media, charities and most recently through the GSK Pulse programme volunteer, a large problem in Africa is that people suffering with HIV, who do have access to treatment, do not finish the course of their medicine provided. This is due to education and local traditions which the people have held for many years. Further, drs and healthcare profesionals do not have the time or money for education, I wanted to come up with an idea that would aid education about HIV and the benefits/importance of taking medicines for the duration prescribed. There are also many other healthcare issues that we can raise awareness to.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
My idea would be to provide a free newspaper which would go as far out to rural communities in Africa where it is most needed (thinking in London terms:- a newspaper such as the Metro). The newspaper would contain pictures as well as words to communicate key messages to those who are unable to read that well. Which would include clear and visually friendly information as to the importance of taking HIV medication, the importance of washing hands where possible, information as to where people may be able to find shelter/free food, key news information from around Africa and the world. My idea is with implementing this, gradually and over time local people will become more educated about the benefits of health activities and word will spread. It will also be a form of communication to those in local villages about other topics as well.
La solution: pourquoi est-ce une solution innovante pour votre entreprise ou votre industrie?
One of the thoughts that I need to think about are connections that GSK may have, or other charities may have to work out the supply chain in enabling the distribution of the newspaper.

I thought of the idea whilst listening to GSK Pulse volunteers and their experiences in Africa on the programme, the metro was on my desk at the same time and I thought "why couldn't we do this for them? to provide a readily available, easily accesible paper for education"
Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
It is a brand new idea to me that I would like to put forward to Changemakers.
Quel est l'impact prévu pour votre projet sur les 1 à 3 prochaines années?
Over the first year I believe we could scope out, if a supply chain is possible and to where? to propose to the supply chain holder what we had in mind. Upon this approval we would need to think through where the office of the writers and printers would be - in Africa to also provide work for the local people and to reduce transport costs.

Idée (vous êtes sur le point de lancer le projet)
Le besoin: Quel problème social ou environnemental essayez-vous de résoudre?
The HIV/AIDS - Human Trafficking Coalition will address two social problems:
1. HIV/AIDS
2. Human trafficking
2013 is a pivotal year in achieving the Millenium Development Goals that must be pioneered on both a global and local level. According to Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary-General, "Halting and reversing the spread of AIDS is not only a goal within itself; It is a prerequisite for reaching almost all the others."
Human trafficking is a growing industry that targets women with roughly 80% of its victims sold into the sex slave trade.
As the human trafficking sex slave trade industry grows, so does the spread of HIV/AIDS and human rights violations amongst women.
Uniting forces will support organizational objectives and empower victims.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
My private consulting firm will align and manage corporate participation in The HIV/AIDS Anti-Human Trafficking Coalition, which will align and unite HIV/AIDS groups with anti-trafficking organizations to enhance awareness, medical advancement, funding, and patient/victim support.
The HIV/AIDS Anti-Human Trafficking Coalition will achieve the following:
- Raise awareness of HIV/AIDS and human trafficking
- Support the Millenium Development Goal achievement
- Decrease violence towards women
- Enroll Trafficking victims in HIV/AIDS clinical trials
- Enhance education and prevention
- Increase funding
- Enhance and extend wrap-around support services for victims
- Establish a Survivor Network to spread awareness and foster support efforts
La solution: pourquoi est-ce une solution innovante pour votre entreprise ou votre industrie?
The The HIV/AIDS - Human Trafficking Coalition is an innovative solution because it achieves the following:
- Advances science and technology towards a cure for HIV/AIDS
- Strengthens anti-human trafficking initiatives
- Promotes victims of human trafficking as highly valued Ambassadors, leading the way in scientific advancement
- Creates a platform for victims to share their knowledge/experience
- Creates an extensive global network that supports local partnerships
Le modèle: décrivez-nous un exemple précis de la façon dont votre solution fait la différence; inclure vos activités principales.
Below is a real life example of a situation in which the Coalition activities could unite human trafficking groups with HIV/AIDS organizations for mutual benefit.
Step 1: Identify a NEED/OPPORTUNITY
- HIV study participants are NEEDED: Recently, HIV researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences and Magee-Womens Research Institute (MWRI) were awarded four grants totaling nearly $11.5 million (from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation)
Step 2: Link the need to a SOLUTION
The Coalitions notifies The Project to End Human Trafficking, which assists male and female victims locally. Victims often require HIV/AIDS testing and or services. The agency then notifies victims of the opportunity and those interested in applying for study enrollment will be referred to the appropriate contact.
Step 3: Share success stories and build on partnerships
The Coalition will circulate a newsletter, hold meetings/webinars, and maintain a website announcing partnerships and opportunities. Victims who participated in the study will be offerend opportunities related to the Ambassador role.
Step 4: Expand the Network and create synergies
The Pittsburgh AIDS Task Force (PATF) provides free HIV Testing as well as wrap-around services to diagnosed clients. Victims received by the Project to End Human Trafficking could be referred to the PATF for support services such as legal council.
A cycle of social innovation is spurred as information and resources are shared, patients receive better care and organizational missions advance.

My "Aha!' moment took place at the Carnegie Mellon University Film Festival in 2005. I watched a film about about a young woman who was abducted into a sex-slave trade ring. Her final destiny was a cold, lonely and horrid death. When I saw the film, I was working with HIV patients. I knew the pain associate with a positive diagnosis, but I had never imagined the combination of being abducted, infected, and continuously abused until death. Prior to viewing this film, I did not imagine anything more painful than and receiving an AIDS diagnosis. That day in 2005, I realized that there was a reality far worse and not only was I unaware of the underground human trafficking world, but so was the majority of the population. The victims did not have a lifeline. The magnitude of this film impacted my life forever. In 2012,while at the Vienna United Nations, I toured the Trafficking exhibit and was impressed by the progress and determined to unite efforts with HIV/AIDS initiatives.
Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
To date, my impact is the following:
- Generated interest and commitment among corporate leaders and private sector consultants to enhance the strategic partnership between HIV/AIDS and human trafficking groups
- Communicated the alignment of HIV/AIDS medical advancements with global political and humanitarian dedication to anti-human trafficking efforts
- Initiated plans to include sex slave trade victims in HIV/AIDS clinical trials
- Spread awareness and created a sense of urgency in the biotechnology/pharmaceutical industry via marketing of news reports and intelligence information regarding the increase in the human trafficking industry
- Proposed projects with a sustainable level of commitment to international and local companies
- Increased use of the Trafficking Hotline
- Motivated individual, departmental, and company wide participation via speaking engagements at private sector meetings

Over the next year, I will partner with the United Nations, World Health Organization, GBCHealth, MDG Health Alliance, multi-national pharmaceutical companies, generic drug manufacturers, clinical research organizations, law enforcement agencies, and local organizations/companies to achieve the following:
- Raise awareness of HIV/AIDS and human trafficking
- Support the Millenium goal achievement
- Decrease violence towards women
- Enroll Trafficking victims in HIV/AIDS clinical trials
- Enhance education and prevention
- Increase funding
- Enhance and extend wrap-around support services for victims

Quels sont les obstacles qui risquent de freiner votre projet ? Comment pensez-vous les surmonter ?
Barriers to success and corresponding solutions include the following:
Barrier: Time necessary for large international companies to take action
Solution: Propose minor changes to existing projects, widen scope. Proactively create formal plan for next budget cycle/review period.
Barrier: Lack of interest, unclear benefit
Solution: Demonstrate financial benefit via grants, donations, tax deferrals, cost reductions, enhanced market access and visibility, increased resources via collaboration with member groups, strengthening of current company initiatives.
Demonstrate social benefit via promotion of image enhancement, awards and recognition, success stories, affiliations/relationships with various industry leaders including governments and regulatory bodies

My business model operates on profit derived from consulting contracts with private sector health related companies such as pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, clinical research organizations, and universities. As a consultant, I will have access to the client resources as well as support from coalition members.
At this time, I need to grow the concept of an HIV/AIDS anti-human trafficking coalition. Once established, I will have 2 primary objectives:
1. Grow my consultancy
2. Support progress of coalition member projects
While my consulting firm will focus on specific projects, the large scale objective of the Coalition is to unite organizations which will collaborate and manage additional projects.

An example of key partnership, include the following:
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania based Mylan Pharmaceuticals has recently been awarded a large contract with the South African National Department of Health to distribute AVR (HIV/AIDS) medications for the tender period of from January 1, 2013-to-December 31, 2014.
I previously worked at the Pittsburgh AIDS Task Force and am involved with the The Southwestern Pennsylvania Anti-Human Trafficking Coalition.
Quel soutien interne avez-vous reçu pour votre projet? Quel genre de commentaires critiques avez-vous reçu?
Support has been exceedingly high. The international attention on anti-human trafficking initiatives driven by the United Nations and the elevated emphasis on HIV/AIDS treatment supported by the Millenium Development Goals and pharmaceutical companies, have created an ideal marketplace supporting the demand of consultancy related to support HIV/AIDS and Anti-Human Trafficking efforts. Whether employing my services or not, nearly are groups are willing to join the coalition.

Création (un pilote qui vient juste de démarrer)
Le besoin: Quel problème social ou environnemental essayez-vous de résoudre?
Communicable diseases & illness associated with low living standards acutely afflict low-income communities of Kenya. However, 1/3 of Kenyans don’t seek treatment when they are sick citing financial difficulties and access as the primary reasons. The Kenyan Government launched Community Health Worker (CHW) strategy - an effort to improve access to affordable healthcare at the grassroots. While the strategy has tremendous potential to improve holistic health for the poor, it is plagued with numerous limitations: CHWs work on a voluntary basis with no motivation, insufficient training, resources & basic tools such as firstaid kits . With frustrating working conditions, their efficiency is diminished. Most of them quit;a tremendous waste of the resources utilized in recruitment & training.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
The AA CHW capacity building initiative looks to strengthen this indispensable, but neglected resource in Kenya’s healthcare system through:
1.Training
Equip CHWs with skills & knowledge that will make them effective in educating, diagnosing & follow up. Continually update their knowledge through regular boost trainings, exposure to current health technologies & access to online & offline tool kits
2. Resources & equipment
Provide protective ware (such as gloves and dust masks), stationary, rain jackets, bags, and simple point-of-care testing kits.
3.Reward, acknowledgement, & motivation
Develope an incentive program, which seeks to reward high performing CHWs. Our vision is to provide a means for CHWs to support themselves & their families eliminating need to find other jobs as this diminishes their effectiveness.
4.Personal Development
Provide platforms for development such as soft skills training, basic IT skills, national and international conferences.
La solution: pourquoi est-ce une solution innovante pour votre entreprise ou votre industrie?
Even though CHWs are a needed/important facet of the Kenyan health system, they are neglected, demotivated and incapacitated. The government dedicates minimal resources to them. There is no organization/body that is formally responsible for empowering CHWs or harnesses their potential. Most of the responsibility is left to donors. As a for-profit healthcare institution, our initiative is unique, both in our region of operation as well as in the Kenyan health system.
Le modèle: décrivez-nous un exemple précis de la façon dont votre solution fait la différence; inclure vos activités principales.
The AA CHW capacity building initiative will take CHWs through a comprehensive training program with regular follow-up/booster sessions. Training will include but not limit to: basic technology skills, hi-tech diagnostics, and exposure to health innovations.
Provide equipment and resources such as kit bags, rain jackets, first aid kits, simple diagnostic kits, stationary and protective ware. AA also Supports CHW weekly meetings, reporting and follow-up.
A tiered incentive program will motivate and reward outstanding CHWs. Rewards will include sponsorship and exposure at health related events, tools and equipment to improve efficiency of their services and stipend.
The initiative will provide platforms for personal development through access to internet and computers, online and offline learning resources and tool kits, national and international health conferences/forums where participating CHWs can share experiences with healthcare professionals.
Community outreach events to raise awareness in the community and promote uptake of their services as well as recommending CHW follow up to our patients.

CHWs in Kenya have no formal backing by the health systems. Most of the training and subsequent follow-ups are funded by donors, and hence are irregular and not comprehensive. The Kenya CHW program is in great need of backing and empowerment, with few institutions supporting. These include charitable organization and government (Ministry of health). AA does not perceive these as competitors, but rather as potential partners.
Our difference:
AA seeks to provide a consistent, reliable support program to empower CHWs.

Field research & planning sessions with 75 CHWs demonstrated to us CHW’s fundamental role in improving holistic health, especially in poor community where healthcare options are unpleasant, unreliable or unaffordable. CHWs share similar values, ethnic background, socioeconomic status & often speak same language with communities they serve, therefore able to penetrate & influence the community in a way other healthcare agents may never be able to. However this valuable resource is underutilized due to:
a. Lack of formal backing by health systems
b. Inconsistent training
c. Unavailability of manuals post training
d. Contracted on volunteer basis with little/no motivation reducing the impact of CHWs. They have to find other jobs to support themselves & their families
e. Lack of tools & equipment
With increase in disease burden & prevalence of chronic diseases, it is paramount that CHWs have a consistent system of training, be continually updated & motivated to increase their impact
Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
AA works closely with 50 CHWs in our area of operation engaging in planning and facilitating outreach and community health events. Using Frontline SMS, our mobile messaging system, we remind and encourage them to attend regular meetings, successfully improving attendance rates from ≈ 20 to ≈ 35 per meeting. AA has hired 1 CHW on a full time role, and is in the process of making a second hire. Currently AA has furnished 50 CHWs with stationary and is working to find and contact organizations that work with CHWs for manuals and tool kits.
Quel est l'impact prévu pour votre projet sur les 1 à 3 prochaines années?
By 2015, AA envisions to have 35 operating health kiosks in Kenya, each working closely with CHWs within their area of operation. The AA CHW capacity building initiative seeks to build a reliable, knowledgeable, empowered body of CHWs, who are active & dedicated. This will in turn promote community health through:
• Frequent CHW home visits & treatment follow-up to chronically ill patients, individuals at high risk of health problems, elderly, pregnant women & nursing mothers
• Thorough patient follow-ups & referrals
• Early diagnosis & treatment of diseases
• Helping people understand their health condition(s) & develop strategies to improve their health & well being
• Helping build understanding & social capital to support healthier behaviors & lifestyle choices among communities
Quels sont les obstacles qui risquent de freiner votre projet ? Comment pensez-vous les surmonter ?
Lack of human resource and funds: being a startup, with a lean team and budget, we are limited in the resources that we can dedicate to the initiative.
AA is looking to fundraise and bring partners on board. Such partners may be involved on different levels. E.g. Training, CHW rewards or in-kind donations of tools and kits.

As a social enterprise, this initiative presents a wonderful platform to realize our mission of positively impacting the community.Working with a well equipped, trained & organized CHW team will increase efficiency & effectiveness of our services through effectual patient follow ups & home based care. As our ears & eyes on the ground, they'll be an important asset in data collection, learning & monitoring for best practices & disease surveillance.It will increase clinic traffic, & as a result, AA's revenues, through efficient referral & marketing system
Comment allez-vous tirer parti des ressources internes (les fonds, le temps, les connaissances, etc) pour soutenir cette initiative?
AA dedicates time to attend regular CHW meetings where they ask questions of our medical staff and refer patients to us. We collaborate with them on outreach events and community health talks. We also use Frontline SMS, our mobile messaging system, to contact, follow up with and remind CHWs about regular meetings. AA has also hired one CHW on a fulltime basis who advises on all local issues, participates in planning and facilitating outreach events and conducts field research. In addition, AA has also procured materials such as stationaries to help them perform their duties better.

Idée (vous êtes sur le point de lancer le projet)
Le besoin: Quel problème social ou environnemental essayez-vous de résoudre?
1: Currently, millions of children die each year in the developing world, especially Africa, from diseases that are preventable through vaccination. Even in countries where reasonably forceful vaccination programs exist, and when vaccines are available at significantly discounted prices or free, coverage can be reasonably low in select regions and it is possible to find a whole community reject vaccination due to religious, cultural and other factors. Child and maternal mortality can remain unacceptable high which place place high economic toll on these countries.
2: Volunteerism and citizen participation among the African privileged is insufficient to fill in the gap left by corps. govt, and NGOs.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
I propose a Mobile HeathEd (and Change Hero Award), a solution that is based on exploiting the cultural roots and understanding of employees/volunteers to make an outreach to communities/regions with identified health crisis (low vaccination coverage, high infant mortality etc) with target community education/health campaign. The goal is to build trust and affect large scale cultural and attitudinal changes with resultant positive social changes such as increase vaccination rates and improve child and maternal health outcomes.
To encourage citizen participation among the African privileged (at home & in the Diaspora), Change Hero Award will be instituted. Over the course of a year, communities can nominate and vote for the individuals they want to nominate for recognition for significant contribution to health and education. The hope is that this will spur individual citizens to supplement the efforts by governments, NGOs, and foundation in causing social change on the continent.
La solution: pourquoi est-ce une solution innovante pour votre entreprise ou votre industrie?
In communities in Sub-Saharan Africa, even when vaccines are available at much reduced price, they may still not be accessible to the children who need them due not only to economic factors but also cultural and religious factors and lack of information. It is one thing to have buy-in from the government, it is another thing to have buy-in and commitment from the community at all levels. Building TRUST with the communities at the grassroots level is paramount to success.
Le modèle: décrivez-nous un exemple précis de la façon dont votre solution fait la différence; inclure vos activités principales.
In Jan/Feb 2012, I dedicated my own GSK vacation to do a community outreach in Ghana, teaching in rural schools and educating village communities on malaria and other preventable diseases. I first hand got to understand how much folks appreciate hearing from someone who indentifies the culture, doesn’t appear patronizing even when the mood calls for it and is willing to hear their side of the story. I also got to realize the magnitude of the healthcare challenges, the varied misperception of orthodox medicine (especially vaccines for children) held by many people.
On a large scale, as proposed in this project, the next step would be connecting these communities with their local primary health care (PHC). This would be easier if collaborating with the PHC. We could also set up Community Champions that would be responsible for linking the communities with their PHC facilities. SMS text messaging & other models can be employed.
I trust such a model can be scaled up and replicated across several countries and communities by identifying colleagues/volunteers who meet two basic criteria:
1.They have cultural backgrounds or understanding that helps them to be aware of the several of factors that are impediments to vaccination campaigns in communities
2.They can communicate our corporate values and scientific basis and value of our products (vaccines) to these communities in a way they can understand.
Eventually, the end goal is to encourage more privileged Africans to be involved in volunteerism and community participation which is what Change Hero Award aims accomplish.

Periodically, the government or other organizations run vaccination campaigns on television and in print media when there is the need for mass vaccination. However, the people that are left out in vaccination programs are the one that are difficult to reach by means of television and such mass media channels. The educational campaign proposed in Mobile EdHealth will focus on target communities with target message and thereby make the most impact.
There are many programs that focus on Arts &celebrities but none that targets everyday people making difference in their communities. Change Hero Awards will send a message to the new generation that community participation and social contribution is honorable and encouraged.

One of the stories that inspire this idea is the polio debacle in Nigeria a few years ago. In 2003, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) embarked on an aggressive campaign to eradicate polio in the country where it was endemic. Soon after the campaign started Nigeria halted immunization program on fear that vaccines had been contaminated with anti-fertility & HIV agents (due to a material posted on an internet site). The campaign in Nigeria was focused on the northern part of the country (because that was where the virus was endemic. Northern Nigeria is also predominantly Muslim, which led to conclusion that the vaccination was a plot by Western governments to reduce the population of Muslims worldwide. The controversy lasted for 16 months.
With Mobile HealthEd approach, instead of concluding that the people were rejecting vaccination as a result ignorance or lack of education, we try to understand the underlying logic to their anxieties and try to address them.
Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
I have already undertaken a prototype program in Ghana where I have roots and record remarkable success as I talked to village schools, churches, and communities in one district.
Even though that was through a personal giving back to community effort, I envision a scenario where it can be scaled up to ‘mix corporate good doing with strong business goals’. Since we’re already selling our products to some of these communities at differential pricing, we might as well get as much message out in order to get as much products out and of course save as many lives.
Change Hero Award is a new idea that can go hand in hand with Mobile HealthEd. If instituted, the impact will be a new wave of volunteerism and citizen involvement among the advantaged Africans who are in most cases cut off from the communities where the problems are.
Quel est l'impact prévu pour votre projet sur les 1 à 3 prochaines années?
Part of year one may require set up, selecting a country & mapping an area, studying the health burden vis-à-vis the culture, these can be accomplished while employee(s) conducts their regular full time job. By incorporating some of these early learnings forward, Mobile HealthEd could accelerate operations into communities & soon we could have data showing dramatic changing attitudes towards vaccines accompanied by high vaccination coverage in otherwise poor coverage catchment areas. By Year three, Mobile HealthEd could radicalize the way we message our product to the developing world.
A website would be built for Change Hero Awards by Year 1 and a volunteer team in host country set up & promotional activities started. Social media channels will be aggressively employed for promotion.
Quels sont les obstacles qui risquent de freiner votre projet ? Comment pensez-vous les surmonter ?
Barriers to success include long term sustainability, government and local bureaucracy, and perceived competition from local health centers.
Will ensure long-term sustainability and continued success by embedding local organizations/ individuals in the educational campaign. Mobile HealthEd and local groups/individuals would learn from one another with the goal of spreading accountability and replicating the social impact of the project.
Significant resource will be dedicated to educating local activists/organizations through seminars and workshops. These individuals or indigenous groups could become change ambassadors in their communities.
Working with local health centers, we can make use of the hospitality local communities show towards outside groups and multiply the impact

GSK develops vaccines some of which is sold the Developing World at significantly reduced pricing. With Mobile HealthEd, GSK will get ROI by choosing volume over profit for the products we sell to the world’s poorest countries by encouraging broader participation and save more lives as a result. The trust we build with the communities will translate to loyalty towards our products. Data we collect from the field will guide our approach pricing in developing countries, lobbying, marketing ethics and product donations & philanthropic activities.
Comment allez-vous tirer parti des ressources internes (les fonds, le temps, les connaissances, etc) pour soutenir cette initiative?
GSK has an ongoing employee volunteer-based program called PULSE that leverages internal skills to support non-profit organizations to facilitate educational and health projects around the world. Though Mobile HealthEd is of a different scale and scope and specific in its mission, PULSE resources would be instrumental and synergistic.

Funding will be sought from the Office of the CEO, and Developing Countries and Market Access (Least Developed Countries Unit), external non-profit organizations.
Long term funding responsibility can be spread out by inviting other founders such as Bill & Melida Gates Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative and other NGOs. And finally, because changing attitudes towards vaccines (and drugs) and the industry benefits the whole pharmaceutical industry, other companies that have footprints in the regions where Mobile HealthEd operates could be invited to support financially.
Sponsorship from Corporations, government agencies & Foundations together with other monetization options will be sought to support the Change Hero Awards.

We offer mobile apps for advisory to farmers in the US via University of Tennessee and University of Georgia. We wanted to replicate the same model in India but due to high illiteracy rates and lack of data capable smartphones in our target audience, we had to deploy field teams. In order to cover the cost of these teams, we took input from people about the services they would be willing to pay a monthly subscription for. Healthcare was mentioned by 80% of the people. So we started with healthcare+advisory. Life/accident/health Insurance was added afterwards since it was a natural fit with healthcare and people expressed strong interest in it once they understood the benefits.

Idée (vous êtes sur le point de lancer le projet)
Le besoin: Quel problème social ou environnemental essayez-vous de résoudre?
Our solution potentially presents a geospatial insight and analysis platform to organization funding and executing projects associated with the 8 MDGs; to enable them effectively undertake intervention projections and budget forecasting, monitoring and evaluation and field capture of information with direct interface with back-office operations
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
It is a three tier geospatial service platform; Tier 1: Web visualization and spatial + data analysis interface and a lighter field application pre-loaded on mobile devices, provided to the client with connections to a central data warehouse, delivered via a multi-tiered access subscription model. Tier 2: A flexible big data (warehousing) infrastructure implemented across a federated architecture; each module of the federated architecture is built to suit a specific geography. Geospatial analysis solution framework built into a central system and based on a REST architecture, with dedicated solution modules for each MDG framework (MDG 1 to MGD 8). Tier 3: Technical Consultants available at the back office to offer users of the platform, access to expertise and data development resources to deliver services needed fast, such as new vector data-sets, associated household/ demographic information and imagery data, or spatial analysis tools.
La solution: pourquoi est-ce une solution innovante pour votre entreprise ou votre industrie?
Our platform offers the capacity to run spatial analysis intended to help deal with all scope of issues under the MDGs; technical consultants provide customize elements within the platform to suit any bias identified within a region. Most geospatial platforms are predominantly visualization services. Our platform will offer analysis capabilities.
Le modèle: décrivez-nous un exemple précis de la façon dont votre solution fait la différence; inclure vos activités principales.
It eliminates challenges associated with the manual processes associated with field data collection tasks; the field application pre-loaded on a mobile device, facilitates collection of data tied to a given location and associates this with collected data. This information is delivered in real time to the server which becomes available to the back office administrators. The administrators examine trends in the information and can amend the questionnaire structure and have these changes made, reflect on the field device immediately. The web geospatial + data analysis interface provides a user with access to several tools; the primary web interface opens to a geographic visualization space and offers a layout of several user related tools, that enables the user select from MDG frameworks 1 to 8. It also, provides access to analysis tools for stochastic assessments, budgeting and forecasting, project management and resource management as well as accessing platform support tools etc. A user is able to use the web interface to run analysis for actual project planning, visualization of data collected from site and also, can be utilized for monitoring and evaluation of intervention projects being executed. Snapshots of project updates (as maps) can be printed. It also provides the capacity for time related visualization of phenomena and impact of intervention (positive or negative).
Le marché : qui sont vos collègues et vos concurrents ? Identifiez les autres personnes qui travaillent à répondre au même besoin et indiquez ce qui vous différencie d'elles. Comment ces concurrents pourraient-ils influencer votre réussite ou votre croissance ?
Many organization provide geographic web services like ushahidi, google maps etc. However, the platforms they provide are visualization (map viewing) systems and do not focus on analysis of data to household level for monitoring and evaluation. Also, a uniform projection is used on most platforms. Our solution delivers region specific projections so data presented is in the appropriate region designated geographic projection. The main challenge we may face with the likes of Google is access to cash to continually expand the capabilities of the platform and volume of storage made available to users/ subscribers.

The idea for the solution was developed during research work for a Ph.D recently concluded. The idea was roughly suggested in the document as a central point of information and application access (access via SaaS - software as a service and DaaS - data as a service) to remove the issues surrounding access to accurate data and tools needed to address population insight at household levels in developing countries.
Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
When it is presented, the value is immediately obvious to organizations. For the international funder, they see the potential for evaluation and monitoring as well as pre-budget determination for intervention projects; the also see the value in being able to identify the spatial extent which funds provided can potentially cover. For the project executor, they can relate with the field team faster and change survey metrics on the fly. The are better able to identify salient issues that will probably not have been identified using manual data collection processes. It also enables both the funder and the intervention executor, agree on the extent of spatial dispersion of the project as well as identify areas actually concluded within the scope of work assigned to the executor. It also offers a potential source for information research on the various MDGs with access to information at a household resolution.
Quel est l'impact prévu pour votre projet sur les 1 à 3 prochaines années?
We intend in the next 3 years, to have all projects related with the MDGs to be planned, monitored and evaluated as well as implemented using the platform. Provisions are made to ensure that organizations with existing infrastructure can leverage on their past investments and still utilize the service from the platform - MDG Insights
Quels sont les obstacles qui risquent de freiner votre projet ? Comment pensez-vous les surmonter ?
Access to greater amounts of funds to retain capacity and build increased capacity, infrastructure and staff wise; access to adequately qualified staff in country, especially in Nigeria, with requisite geospatial server management and solution administration skills. As well as technical skill in geoprocessing tasks, to deliver some of the services local within the region; thereby, reducing the need to either depend extensively on skill from developed country professionals unable to live in places like Nigeria. Also, the need to establish a federated architecture between the UK and Nigeria to tackle the issue of unstable and erratic power supply.

We become providers of innovative geospatial services and associated strategy, for social and health intervention in the global south; this becomes one of the values we potentially become known for.
Comment allez-vous tirer parti des ressources internes (les fonds, le temps, les connaissances, etc) pour soutenir cette initiative?
We currently execute some client projects which helps us generate some funds to undertake basic operations; we however find the close out time from pipeline to execution for project in Nigeria spans between 6 to 12 months for private sector and 12 to 24 months for public sector engagements in Nigeria. So we tend to not often have enough running cost funding. Hence, we keep operational team small and focus on closing some of the fairly large projects to boost our funds availability
Développer votre réponse, en expliquant le financement à long terme et un plan de soutien.
We intend getting the core infrastructure developed to an appreciable level with own funding and then seek investment to expand the platform capacity to cope with multiple access from multiple geographic locations and executing complex analysis in real time. We expect some of the funding to also arise from revenue generated from subscription by organization to use the platform or its services (SaaS and DaaS). We also intend to develop associated products from within the platform that can be offered as commercial products that will also aid with funding.
Parlez-nous de vos partenariats au sein de votre entreprise et à l'extérieur qui sont la clé de la réussite de votre projet.
Our organization is currently partners with Trimble and representing its MGIS division for the Nigeria trade area; the mobile devices intended will be the low range GPS devices with windows installed. While our other partners are ESRI and most recently, Bentley Systems. We are a Silver Tier partner within the ESRI EPN Network and intend using some ESRI and Bentley Systems technologies within the REST architecture being built.
Quel soutien interne avez-vous reçu pour votre projet? Quel genre de commentaires critiques avez-vous reçu?
I have slowly built a multi regional team, with members in UK and Nigeria. The UK members are the current geospatial technical and development team, working along side with me to develop the central REST architecture, for MDG Insights and for the organization as a whole. The Nigeria team work with me on client project delivery to undertake projects, examine strategies and execution on site; their managed projects provide us with the initial funds we presently run off.

HIV/AIDS remains one of the greatest health challenges of our time and there is still no cure. More than 80 per cent of British Columbians with HIV/AIDS live in Metro Vancouver. Many do not have access to medication that lengthens lives and helps prevent further transmission of HIV/AIDS.
The Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation serves more than 400 of Vancouver's most vulnerable people who are struggling with HIV/AIDS in addition to addiction, mental illness, unstable housing and extreme poverty. The Dr. Peter Centre excels in engaging this difficult-to-reach population.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
The Dr. Peter Centre is a leader in HIV/AIDS care, particularly for individuals with multiple medical conditions and social barriers to care. We make HIV/AIDS care accessible for key populations and share our innovative clinical care model with other health care providers locally, provincially and nationally.
From nutritious meals, showers and laundry facilities to address basic human needs, the Dr. Peter Centre provides a wide range of amenities to engage a diverse population in their own health care. We offer comprehensive nursing, help with medication adherence, nutritious meals and diverse therapies that help individuals strengthen their sense of self and build connections to other people.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
The Dr. Peter Centre offers services ranging from basic amenities such as nutrition and laundry to specialized nursing, art therapy, psychotherapy, alternative therapies and support with medication adherence.
The Dr. Peter Centre Café is a dynamic place that serves two hot, wholesome meals to our participants seven days a week. The program ensures participants have the caloric intake they need to gain weight and stay healthy.
The Dr. Peter Centre helps clients meet their stated health care requirements through a range of services including health advocacy with doctors and health care service providers, medication support, a methadone maintenance program, basic wound care and harm reduction services.
Approximately 70% of the participants at the Dr. Peter Centre have either a history of using substances or are currently struggling with addiction. Many of these individuals have experienced poverty, violence, and abuse, are polysubstance users and are living with mental health problems. To reflect this reality, and to meet their very complex health needs, the Dr. Peter Centre's interdisciplinary clinical team provides harm reduction services including: supervised injection service/needle exchange, distribution of condoms and lubricant, and sexual health education.
The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others working to address the same needs as you and indicate what sets you apart from them.
While there are other services and programs for people with HIV/AIDS in Vancouver, the Dr. Peter Centre is unique in its ability to engage HIV positive people struggling with a confluence of health and social challenges, including longstanding addiction, serious mental illness, and extreme poverty.
The Dr. Peter Centre also has a 24 unit Residence program that provides a home to those who come for short-term stabilization, longer-term medically complex care and end of life care. The Residence welcomes people who need to avoid hospitalization, transition from hospital back into the community or stay to be supported for their long-term needs.

Dr. Peter Jepson-Young was a young gay Vancouver physician with HIV/AIDS whose condition had become too debilitating for him to continue medical practice. His colleague and friend, Dr. Jay Wortman, encouraged Peter to use his experience to inform and educate the public and others living with HIV/AIDS. They approached CBC Television with a concept initially intended to be a daily appearance for one week.
Due to overwhelming public response, Dr. Peter – as he soon became known – was asked to continue for as long as his health permitted. For the next two years and 111 episodes of The Dr. Peter Diaries, he used honesty, pathos and humour to share his experience, bringing a human face to the epidemic. He achieved international acclaim; a documentary compilation of the Diaries would later be nominated for an Academy Award.
In 1992, just weeks before his death, Peter established the Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation to provide care for people living with HIV/AIDS.
Décrivez le but de votre initiative, en insistant sur les résultats que vous souhaitez obtenir
The innovative, comprehensive model of care at the Dr. Peter Centre is improving people’s health, helping people find strength in the face of an incurable illness, and inspiring health care providers around the world.
Because we now know that an HIV positive person adhering to HIV treatment is 96% less likely to transmit the virus, we know we are also helping to reduce the spread of the disease.
The Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation provides care to end AIDS.
Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
The Dr. Peter Centre's model is very successful at helping vulnerable populations adhere to their medication and reduce their viral loads, which is critical to reducing HIV transmission in BC.
Studies have shown that within one year of admission to the Dr. Peter Centre Residence, clients had 36% fewer emergency visits – 543 fewer hours spent in the emergency room – and 72% fewer inpatient hospital days.
Equally as important, the Dr. Peter Centre is a community where HIV positive people can regain health, dignity and meaning in their lives.
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des cinq prochaines années ?
We are now expanding our reach and impact in response to the need for increased capacity and the complexity of HIV/AIDS care.
We are sharing our innovative model with more provincial, national and international health care providers to help them develop their skills and capacity to provide similar interdisciplinary care.
We are also expanding our direct care with Enhanced Supportive Housing Suites, which give life skills and greater independence to clients who were previously in the Dr. Peter Centre Residence. These suites are in close proximity to the Centre, allowing suite residents to come to the centre for meals, medication and specialized care. It also allows Dr. Peter staff to support the suites with housekeeping and other daily living supports.
Quels sont les obstacles qui risquent de freiner votre projet ? Comment pensez-vous les surmonter ?
Funding is always a consideration in planning for a non-profit such as the Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation, which is why we proactively seek a wide variety of sources, including government, foundations, corporations and individuals.

Le besoin : quel problème tentez-vous de résoudre ?
Availability of safe blood is both a short term and long term emergency in Kenya. Every ten minutes someone requires a blood transfusion and its timely accessibility is literally matter of life and death.
Kenya’s need for blood is locally estimated at between 200,000 and 250,000 units per year. However, with WHO guidelines of 10-20 units per 1,000 people then the need can be estimated at between 380,000 – 760,000 units annually.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
To provide the Kenya Blood Bank, with a multi-platform system that will allow them to provide their core services more effectively to hospitals, medics, blood donors and other stakeholders that require its services
This is through a core, web based application that serves different interfaces.
Le système : décrivez un exemple spécifique montrant de quelle façon votre initiative fonctionne ; indiquez vos principales activités.
A core, web based application that serves different interfaces:
You could interact with the system on a number of platforms
WebApp (optimized for both mobile, tablets, laptops, etc.)
Mobile Apps (android, J2ME)
SMS, USSD
How it works:
-VIA SMS(for those who know their blood-type): -Anybody could send in a text with your name, phone number and blood-type in the specified syntax. e.g.
#ID #name #Type... e.g. #0715840821#John Doe#A+
-Via Android, J2ME and the Web-app
Simply sign up by registering as a donor and key in the details...
After signing in you get all the features including viewing the blood drives available in your locality,adding blood links,reporting a needy case and many more
Advantage: Allows those who don’t yet know their blood-type to indicate so whereby they will receive a follow-up information of where they can get tested

Our application is still in the roll out stages being that it has only been around for a month but with the progress made and feed back received from our peers in the field(The Red Cross,Doctors,Health workers) the application has a big future.With plans to populate the database we are keen to help those in need of blood services.Lives will be saved.
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des trois prochaines années?
We are working on populating our database which will ensure that those in need of our core services will be taken care of.One of our short term goals of having 500 blood donors in all Kenyan Universities and 400 blood donors in every secondary school ensures that every locality(county)will be covered in terms of having their blood supplies.This will lead to a 37% decline in death cases related to inadequate blood supplies.Mapping out the donor densities according to regions will also bring to light the need to educate the people living in areas with fewer blood donors.
Quels sont les obstacles qui risquent de freiner votre projet ? Comment pensez-vous les surmonter ?
Being that we as the founders are still undertaking our undergraduate studies full time working on the project has been a big barrier, but with our plans to bring on board more individuals to better execute our main tasks that barrier will soon be overcome.Lack of enough capital to pay for our core needs including purchasing a server to handle the expected volume of data has been an issue but with access of soft loans and grants from organizations wishing to partner with us,we will be able to overcome.

Karanja one of the co-founders saw an appeal on his Facebook page made by one of his friends who was asking for individuals to donate blood at one of the local hospitals in order for his sister to receive a blood transfusion.Talking to us later about the issue made us think critically about the state of blood inn Kenya and what we as computer scientist could do to give back to our country and humanity as a whole.We conducted a short research and saw how dire the situation was on the ground and that's when the idea was born about having a system that could cater to all this.We drew a blue print on how the system would run and after seeing the feasibility of the idea embarked immediately on it.With teamwork we accomplished the task in two weeks whereby we now had an online web app,J2ME/Symbian app and an Android application.We also integrated SMS in the System.

The Need: Describe the need for your solution and the size and characteristics of the community(ies) your solution is engaging
Clients who access Stabilization are homeless, desperate, and stuck in the cycle of addiction. Addiction Treatment waiting lists are 2-8 weeks long. Without our program, clients complete detox and have nowhere to go that provides a safe and supportive recovery environment while they await Treatment.
These clients have a significantly lower chance of successfully reaching Treatment without the structure and support of our Stabilization program. Without Stabilization, there is a significant gap in care that perpetuates the repeated cycle of substance abuse, violence, mental and physical crisis and homelessness.
Stabilization is currently available to any male in need across B.C.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
Stabilization provides a continuum of care, which helps clients maintain stability, and support their long term goals providing; shelter, group and individual therapy, and structured support with their immediate and future needs. The latter allows us to offer stability, empowerment and encouragement clients need to continue towards positive growth.
Stabilization provides prevention for at risk individuals. Our clients regularly use shelter services, and have no long term housing. Many have unsafe housing where drug use and violence are prevalent. Without addressing their addiction, medical and mental health needs the cycle of addiction is often repeated.
Stabilization also provides a bridge of services for existing organizations faced with this gap in care. This improves short and long term homelessness, addiction, and mental health strategies across B.C.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include the primary activities involved in your solution.
The Stabilization Counsellor works with clients to address their immediate needs by providing; hygiene products, clothing, supplies and bus tickets for appointments with MEIA, Treatment centres, medical/mental health practitioners, housing services etc.
Our Mental Health Therapist is available for additional support and referrals and the in-house doctor is available for; medication review, new prescriptions and mental/physical health assessments.
Stabilization also offers addiction resources and living skills. Clients are required to attend two group counselling sessions daily offering support, structure, and a sense of community. Peer support is always available and 12 step meetings are available.
Clients receive assistance with:
• Housing applications
• MSD, EI or Pharmacare funding applications
• Mental health referrals
• Obtaining ID
• Setting up a bank account
• Organizing medications
• Referrals to treatment and employment resource centers, doctors and dental care
Clients in Stabilization also have access to the in-house treatment services available:
• Volunteer Work Experience Program - where they gain valuable work experience
• Smoking Cessation Support
• Methadone Support
• Alumni Group
• Relapse Prevention
• Introductory Computer Courses
• Electives – Grief and Loss, Co-Dependency, Stress and Anger Management
• VCC Learning Centre – providing educational upgrades including GED
Stabilization offers stability, support, and encouragement for clients to continue their process towards positive change and growth.
The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others working to address the same needs as you and indicate what sets you apart from them.
Stabilization is a unique service that is very limited in availability within our community. Pacifica, an Addictions Treatment Centre, has a pre-treatment program, where clients can apply to stay before their admission date, but this is limited to clients who are attending their specific program. The Salvation Army Belkin House works with clients within their shelter, but do not have a program readily available that provides the same structure and support. Shelter beds that may be available provide shelter, but often residents are living in active addiction and staying clean in that environment can be very challenging.

In 2005, our then Detox Manager Nancy McConnell continued to hear frustrations, from staff and clients about feeling desperation after completing detox. After feeling supported physically and emotionally through their detox process and then obtaining a referral to treatment, clients expressed despair at having no supportive place to go while waiting for treatment. Because of this gap in services clients would return to detox again and again, having never made it to a treatment intake date. Nancy had heard one too many painful stories, and decided to talk to senior management at Harbour Light about what could possibly be done to help. The Stabilization program was the answer to this gap in services. Everyone worked together towards setting up this essential program.
Décrivez le but de votre initiative, en insistant sur les résultats que vous souhaitez obtenir
The goal of our stabilization program is to prevent and reduce homelessness, improve the outcomes for mental health and addiction services, further community support, and serve as the bridge of services, so clients will see a greater success rate.
We provide homeless residents with the ability to stabilize their circumstances and move beyond emergency needs. Mental health, homelessness and addiction are comorbid concerns plaguing the residents of the DTES which we primarily serve. We work to stabilize clients in all areas, to allow them to be successful and move beyond emergency needs, to a stable, supportive environment.
Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
Harbour Light’s stabilization program fills a vital gap in the continuum of care for at risk clients who face multiple barriers. It provides a stable transitional support service for clients who would otherwise be homeless. These clients are unable to live independently and stay clean without support and supervision. Through stabilization they are able to access other services as they transition towards independent living.
Addiction Treatment waiting lists are on average 2-8 weeks. Clients would complete detox, and have nowhere to go that provided a safe, supportive, clean, recovery focussed environment, while they were waiting.
Stabilization has evolved and expanded since then to offer a solid continuum of care, providing a myriad of services that help address the multiple complex issues of our client base.
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des cinq prochaines années ?
There is a desperate need in the community to have access to our Stabilization program and to support clients in their transition to long term stable housing and recovery from addiction, as they break the cycle of homelessness and addiction. In the last five years on average we have served over 300 clients per year. We have been able to successfully send hundreds of men on to treatment and assisted them with their medical, mental health and physical needs, provided clothing and eyewear vouchers, new ID, access to healthy nutritional food and information and introduced them to a more healthy and active lifestyle. We would like to continue to offer this service. We anticipate being able to serve hundreds more if this program continues.
Quels sont les obstacles qui risquent de freiner votre projet ? Comment pensez-vous les surmonter ?
Our primary barrier to providing this service is funding. For the first six years our program was funded by Service Canada. Due to budget adjustments we were not able to access funding for the 2012 year. We plan to continue to develop donation partnerships and continue to apply for available funding from a variety of sources. With funding support we will be able to keep this program alive and subsequently increase the amount of clients whose lives we will help to change.

We have very strong partnerships in the community. We have continued to develop a relationship with Vancouver Coastal Health through attendance at Service Provider Meetings, and we are strongly regarded as an asset in the community, and receive regular referrals from VCH sites such as Vancouver Detox, Hospitals, Community Health Centres and Physicians. We have developed relationships with many Treatment Centres not only in the Vancouver region but provincially, as a respected, valuable resource.
Are you currently targeting other specific populations, locations, or markets for your solution? If so, where and why?
Our target population: males suffering from addiction issues who are seeking Treatment. Our location in the Downtown East side of Vancouver is a perfect access spot for our clientele, although we also welcome clients from Vancouver Island, Fraser Health region, the Interior, Northern BC. and the Thompson Okanagan. We will continue to develop our relationships with programs across B.C., to ensure that all of the clients in need, have access to this important program.
Quel environnement et quels facteurs organisationnels internes font la réussite de votre projet ?
Our success is determined by the strength of our team, and our passion and commitment to providing a valuable, worthwhile service that is desperately needed. From the Clinical Director to Peers and Volunteers, the goal of our Team is to provide the most valuable service based on our client needs. Our program has expanded and developed, due to client feedback, and observations. Weekly meetings provide an opportunity to develop ideas and ensure staff are confident and comfortable with the challenges of the current Stabilization group. Teamwork, commitment, and a sincere desire to help others enable our program to be successful.

Our greatest need is financial. We hope to learn from addiction and homelessness research and welcome new ideas on how to improve/expand our program. We have information on program development that could benefit others. Collaboration is important to increase program visibility so more people can receive the help they need.
