Still in idea phase, but looking to launch soon
The Need: What problem are you trying to solve?
There are no facilities and provisions of knowledge sharing other than limited training for the service providers. The local program managers are not commonly exposed to knowledge and information other than own boundary. On the other hand, the local NGOs, the practitioners are willing to explore further knowledge and are keen to share its own lessons learned for improving quality of care, increasing capacity, increasing access to health care and reducing maternal and child health morbidity and mortality. It is agreed that exchange of knowledge and effective sharing has role to improve capacity of the practitioners since it is a self learning tool.
The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!
a. To compiled number of best practices model to share the knowledge among the practitioners through interacting workshops
b. To create an avenue for practitioners to learn from each other by creating a knowledge sharing forum and to support each other for learning
c. To organize 6-8 workshop regionally for the practitioners to learn lessons and to adopt change where and when necessary
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include your primary activities
• The practitioners will access to more information and practical knowledge on best practices and program impact leading to improved capacity for quality of care
• The practitioners will be empowered to address more challenges by exercising in the knowledge forum.
• Program quality will be improved and access to health care will increased.
The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others also working to address the needs you are and what differentiates you from them. What challenges could these players pose to your success or growth?

Social Impact
Founding Story: We want to hear about your "Aha!" moment. Share the story of where and when the founder(s) saw this solution's potential to change the world.
over the past one year ACCESS Health International, Bangladesh identified and documented number of community based health care interventions. Limited access to online facilities, poor connectivity and lack of coordinated efforts causes poor knowledge sharing to learn more on best practices and lessons learned from different low cost high impact interventions available around the globe. Accessibility to online information is not common for the practitioners. There are no facilities and provisions of knowledge sharing other than limited training for the service providers. The local program managers are not commonly exposed to knowledge and information other than own boundary. On the other hand, the local NGOs, the practitioners are willing to explore further knowledge and are keen to share its own lessons learned for improving quality of care, increasing capacity, increasing access to health care and reducing maternal and child health morbidity and mortality.
Please describe the goal of your initiative; outline what you are trying to achieve
a. To compiled number of best practices model to share the knowledge among the practitioners through interacting workshops
b. To create an avenue for practitioners to learn from each other by creating a knowledge sharing forum and to support each other for learning
c. To organize 6-8 workshop regionally for the practitioners to learn lessons and to adopt change where and when necessary
What has been the impact of your solution to date?
What is your projected impact over the next five years?
The proposed project takes care of sustainability through applying best practices both in demand and supply side. Since the total process aims to involve home grown solutions without much external involvement, the gathered knowledge and learning would be retained longer. A pool of local resources play a vital role in improving service delivery systems and can further contribute towards quality of care and capacity enhancement from the supply side. The improved, more responsive and better equipped service providers and practitioners can expect higher financial and technical supports leading to sustainability of the program without external donor involvement.
