    Recommendations to support knowledge translation of evidence to identify and reach zero-dose children
    https://redasadki.me/2024/08/08/recommendations-to-support-knowledge-translation-of-evidence-to-identify-and-reach-zero-dose-children/

    Gavi’s Zero-Dose Learning Hub (ZDLH) explored an innovative approach to support knowledge translation of evidence grounded in the experiences and insights of local immunization and other health staff.

    Central to TGLF’s approach is the recognition of continuous learning as a critical factor in immunization program performance.

    Research involving over 10,000 immunization professionals identified ‘continuous learning’ as the weakest area in immunization’s learning culture: limited learning opportunities, low risk tolerance, and a focus on task completion rather than capacity building.

    These findings informed the development of a new model for knowledge sharing and application.

    The ZDLH-X (Zero-Dose Learning Hub Exchange) events form the core of this approach.

    In six months, these peer learning exchanges connected over 3,000 zero-dose practitioners across 100 countries.

    The model engages frontline staff at all levels of the health system, with 37% of participants working at the subnational level and 85% directly involved in zero-dose initiatives.

    TGLF’s approach emphasizes learning culture as a link between learning and performance in global health.

    By fostering continuous learning and adaptation among health workers, the model aims to build resilience and sustainability in addressing global health challenges, including zero-dose child identification.

    The ZDLH-X model incorporates elements of double-loop learning, encouraging practitioners to question not only their actions but also the underlying assumptions guiding those actions.

    This approach aims to help health workers adapt more effectively to complex, evolving challenges in immunization.

    Data from TGLF’s research indicates a relationship between strengthening immunization learning culture and enhancing both knowledge and mission performance.

    Post-event feedback from ZDLH-X participants included examples of new zero-dose strategies being implemented and adapted based on peer-shared ideas.

    The ZDLH-X model addresses complex problem-solving through several key components:


    1. Diverse perspective sharing: Connecting practitioners from various contexts enables cross-pollination of ideas.

    2. Mental model development: Presentations on local adaptations help participants develop new approaches to potential solutions.

    3. Metacognition promotion: Q&A sessions encourage critical thinking about current methods and attitudes.

    4. Affective factor management: Peer testimonials provide motivation through relatable experiences of overcoming barriers.

    5. Collaboration support: Group discussions facilitate collective examination of challenges specific to different communities.

    This approach aims to complement evidence-based practices by providing a framework for knowledge translation that addresses gaps in traditional capacity-building methods.

    The model focuses on continuous learning and peer exchange to tackle complex global health challenges.

    TGLF’s model offers practical recommendations for implementation, such as emphasizing participant experience, providing guidance for knowledge translation, and acknowledging connectivity challenges in frontline settings.

    These considerations reflect the realities faced by health workers in diverse field contexts.

    While further research is needed to directly link these learning interventions to immunization coverage outcomes, initial findings suggest potential in generating insights, fostering continuous learning cultures, and promoting adoption of new strategies for reaching zero-dose children.

    The ZDLH-X model presents a data-driven, scalable approach to addressing persistent challenges in global health.

    By leveraging collective knowledge and experience of frontline workers, this peer learning approach aims to complement existing technical assistance methods.

    Its emphasis on learning culture, double-loop learning, and the connection between learning and performance offers a perspective on tackling complex global health challenges that warrants further exploration and evaluation.

  • # Who is behind the Immunization Collaborative?
    https://www.learning.foundation/nigeria

    ## Nigerian health workers join forces with UNICEF and NPHCDA to tackle immunization challenges

    The Nigeria Movement for Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030) Collaborative is a partnership between:
    - The Geneva Learning Foundation
    - UNICEF
    - National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA)

    It aims to bring together health workers from across Nigeria to help the country do better in protecting every child from vaccine-preventable diseases.

    "It does not matter who you are, what your job is or where you work, what matters is that you want to make a difference."

    The Collaborative is open to all health workers, especially those facing challenges such as:
    - Children who have not been vaccinated or missed vaccines
    - Outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases
    - Communities that do not trust vaccines or are hard to reach

  • # Induction Ceremony on 15 July 2024 to welcome new Members to the Collaborative
    https://www.learning.foundation/nigeria

    ## First Nigerian Immunization Collaborative inducts members from all 36 states and 239 LGAs

    - Partnership between TGLF alumni ambassadors, NPHCDA, and UNICEF
    - Members inducted from all 36 states and 239 local government areas
    - Full list of inducted members shared, showcasing diverse roles and locations

  • # What are the benefits of the Immunization Collaborative?
    https://www.learning.foundation/nigeria

    ## Participants highlight learning from peers, developing critical thinking skills, and receiving feedback as top reasons to join

    Four immediate benefits of participating in the rigorous day-by-day exercise:
    1. Gain practical skills
    2. Learn from your peers
    3. Receive feedback
    4. Develop critical thinking skills

    Participants share their reasons for choosing specific benefits:
    - Usman Mamatukuru on receiving feedback:
    "In getting feedback, you know that his experience is it on the right track. And if it is on the right track, another colleague will add another value or will make a correction so that he can adjust and correct his experience based on the previous experience he has."

    - Anonymous participant on developing critical thinking skills:
    "By the time when you get to experience other people, it develops your critical thinking and you know that okay, this level that you are as a person or as a professional, there is always room for improvement and you can actually develop your critical thinking skills."

    The collaborative offers long-term career impact, real-world solutions, and an investment in professional growth and the health of Nigerian children.

  • # Practical example of Root Cause Analysis
    https://www.learning.foundation/nigeria

    ## Asking “why” five times: Uncovering the real causes of recurring malaria in children

    Using a practical example of a child repeatedly treated for malaria, the Collaborative demonstrates the root cause analysis approach.

    Instead of settling for quick fixes, participants are encouraged to ask “why” five times to uncover the underlying issues:
    1. Why does this child keep getting malaria?
    2. Why are so many children in your village getting malaria?
    3. Why are there so many mosquitoes near your homes?
    4. Why is there stagnant water around the village?
    5. Why are the drainage systems blocked and broken?

    “Once you’ve asked why five times, what you find is very different from where you started out, regardless of how much or how little you know about malaria and the context of that particular community.”

    This showcases how the Collaborative will approach immunization challenges during the peer learning exercise.

  • # What States and LGAs are represented in the Immunization Collaborative?
    https://www.learning.foundation/nigeria
