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. -

# 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?

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