1. How we build confidence in COVID-19 vaccines

2. Listening and learning from the experience of women and men who are challenging gender barriers in immunization

3. Neglected needs of women’s health: Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS)

LEARN MORE ABOUT TGLF INSIGHTS

We need fresh insights to support those leading change in districts, health facilities, and communities.

As a global community, we recognize the significance of local action to achieve the global goals.

“The lessons and learning are coming from people who are working in the community. That is where vaccination actually happens. We need to be focusing on the most local level of the immunization programme.” – Kate O'Brien, Director of the Department of Immunization, Vaccines, and Biologicals (IVB), World Health Organization (WHO)

WHY IS THE GENEVA LEARNING FOUNDATION SHARING INSIGHTS?

The Geneva Learning Foundation (TGLF) hosts the largest and fastest-growing community of national and sub-national immunization professionals, with over 40,000 active participants from over 120 countries, as of May 2021. 80% of members are sub-national immunization staff, with strong support and linkage to national teams.

We realized that the valuable multi-country knowledge shared in our programmes should be regularly given back to the community, and that it could also inform our partners in identifying real-time priorities and opportunities and formulating strategies.

The Insights Unit is the Foundation’s research and analysis group. We systematically consolidate and communicate the contributions of learners in the Foundation’s programmes to share back to participants, governments, civil society and development partners.

To synthesize and spread insights, we work in partnership with Bridges to Development, the International Vaccine Access Center (IVAC) at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, and other partners.
