🔊 New publication! We are excited to announce a new manuscript featuring a study we conducted through USAID Advancing Nutrition! The study assessed changes in home care and play practices for children aged 0 to 23 months after family members participated in facility- and/or community-based counseling on responsive care and early learning (RCEL)—two components of nurturing care that children need to grow and develop optimally. This counseling, supported by a newly developed RCEL Addendum package (link below), was integrated with existing nutrition and health service delivery platforms in the Kyrgyz Republic. 📈 Key Results: - Increased RCEL practices and early learning opportunities at home - Reduced parenting stress - Improved complementary feeding practices Importantly, the study showed that integrating RCEL counseling with nutrition services was feasible, did not disrupt nutrition service delivery, and has the potential to support both nutrition and early childhood development. This study adds critical evidence to efforts to strengthen nurturing care services and provide holistic support for young children to grow and develop optimally. 📖 Check out the full publication for more insights! https://lnkd.in/gT-6K_v7 For more information about the new RCEL Addendum package, visit https://lnkd.in/grBa_BEe #EarlyChildhoodDevelopment #RCEL #IYCF #SocialAndBehaviorChange

Through the JSI-led Immunization Collaborative Supply Planning Strengthening (ICSPS) project, we are working with #DRC, #Ethiopia, #Mozambique, and #Nigeria to make #datadriven decisions on #vaccine forecasting and supply planning. By identifying inefficiencies, fostering collaboration, and using new methods of forecasting vaccines and monitoring supplies - these countries are working on improving vaccine access, enhancing coordination among stakeholders, and establishing robust, real-time data systems. Together, we are building stronger health systems to ensure communities get the #vaccines and commodities they need where and when they need them. Check out the case study of the Mozambique forecast: https://lnkd.in/gq48jwgD Download the vaccine forecast documentation template: https://lnkd.in/gN2EqazX Through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, JSI along with Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc., inSupply Health, VillageReach, and WI-HER, LLC are working in partnership with a network of immunization stakeholders from global, regional, and country levels, including Ministries of Health, World Health Organization, UNICEF, and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. #GlobalHealth #Immunization #SupplyChain #VaccineAccess #DataDriven

👏 Thank you, Christina Villella, MPH for your insights from #UNGA79! #GlobalHealth #PrimaryHealth #PrimaryHealthCare #PHC #GlobalHealthSecurity #HealthSystemsStrengthening
Still processing the whirlwind that was #UNGA79. Across numerous sessions on topics such as women’s health, #AI, #climatechange, #antimicrobialresistance, and leveraging technology for the advancing the #SDGs, the importance of data rang through loud and clear. For JSI, this just further highlights the importance of our work in strengthening health information systems and continuing to work with our local partners to enhance and innovate on ways to collect, analyze, use, and enhance the quality of data on projects such as CHISU Program, Ethiopia Data Use Partnership (DUP), Digital Health Activity (DHA). Some key calls to action we are walking away with are: - We must continue to work to enact laws to safeguard health data. Transform Health, World Health Organization and PATH unveiled the #healthdatagovernance model law (https://shorturl.at/4RE9v) that can be adapted by countries. We heard stories from youth about their experiences accessing their health data which drove home the importance of JSI’s work in supporting governance of country health information systems and local partners to adopt health data governance laws to ensure public trust and accountability in the use of #digitaltechnology and data in the health sector. - Use of generative AI to improve #HealthCare is moving rapidly and we must work to strengthen capacity of governments and health workers to leverage this technology to ensure it reaches its fullest potential. We also need to continue to develop inclusive datasets to ensure we do not introduce bias into our models. The United Nations also released its Universal Digital Public Infrastructure Safeguards Framework (https://shorturl.at/akuWu) - At a session on #WomensHealth and the SDGs hosted by ECHAlliance - The Global Health Connector and Society for Women's Health Research (SWHR), it was clear that we must continue to ensure data is available to understand the impacts of health issues on women, including analysis of impact across all reproductive stages. We need to ensure that women are at the table when making decisions about research and assessing program outcomes. JSI’s CHISU project has been leading global conversations on the importance of integrating gender into health information systems strengthening: https://lnkd.in/eKQGWTUe Yasmin Chandani #digitalhealth #summitofthefuture #HealthInformationSystems #UHC #PCH #PrimaryHealth #HealthSystemsStrengthening #HealthSystems #globalhealthsecurity #HIS #CHISU #DHA

JSI reposted this
Last day of the #HIVR4P Conference in #Lima, #Peru! I have had the pleasure of appreciating some of the latest cutting-edge HIV prevention research from researchers around the world on topics touching on long-acting injectable products, multipurpose prevention tools including the dual prevention pill and exciting injectable options in the pipeline, HIV vaccine research, broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) for HIV prevention among others. Alongside my colleagues Musonda Musonda, James Mwanza and Jessica Posner, I had the pleasure of presenting JSI's amazing work in supporting the Zambia's Ministry of Health HIV Prevention program through the USAID/Zambia-funded DISCOVER-Health Project. The first oral abstract (https://lnkd.in/d8CFcEgH) I presented on behalf of the DISCOVER-Health team on Tuesday on early experiences with long acting PrEP products showed promising uptake of long-acting injectable Cabotegravir (CAB-LA), with an impressive continuation rate of 91% at initiation injection II, and 4% discontinuation rate, mainly due to Hepatitis B seropositivity. In my second oral abstract (https://lnkd.in/d6ZwTSUc), we showcased how a PrEP case-manager model using upskilled community-health workers to support uptake and improve client literacy helped reduce HIV acquisition among individuals on oral PrEP with an annual incidence of 0.013 per 100 persons-years. These findings not only show the potential game-changing HIV prevention option that CAB-LA is, but also the value of optimizing PrEP delivery through innovative approaches such as the case-manager model employed by the USAID DISCOVER-Health Project for maximal health outcomes and achievement of the global HIV prevention targets.

Join us tomorrow to hear from our CHISU Program colleagues on implementing the Malaria Routine Data Quality Assessment tool in three countries and the lessons learned along the way. #Malaria #InfectiousDiseases #GlobalHealthSecurity #GlobalHealth
Data quality is critical to ensure it is trusted by decision-makers to improve service delivery and health outcomes. Good quality data is accurate, complete, timely, and coherent and triggers data use for decision-making. This is especially important for malaria programs, where targeting interventions based on quality data is critical to ensure effective programs. The Malaria Routine Data Quality Assessment (mRDQA) Tool supports targeted, rapid data-quality assessments focused on monitoring malaria data quality as part of routine supervision efforts. The tool aims to standardize and facilitate routine assessments led by a district team during supportive supervision visits at health facilities and can be used by central and regional staff jointly with district teams to assist in data quality efforts. Join CHISU to hear about country experience in adopting and implementing mRDQA in Mali, Guinea, and Cote d’Ivoire. Countries will detail their successes, challenges, and solutions. We are hoping to see more countries engaging themselves in adopting and implementing a mobile app developed in Android to further improve the data quality of malaria. This webinar will be in French. English interpretation will be provided. Français: La qualité des données est essentielle pour garantir que les décideurs leur fassent confiance afin d’améliorer la prestation de services et les résultats en matière de santé. Les données de bonne qualité sont exactes, complètes, promptes, et cohérentes suscitent leur utilisation pour la prise de décision. Ceci est particulièrement important pour les programmes de lutte contre le paludisme, où le ciblage des interventions sur la base de données de qualité est essentiel pour garantir l’efficacité des programmes. L’outil d’évaluation de la qualité des données de routine sur le paludisme (mRDQA) est utilisé pour des évaluations ciblées et rapides de la qualité des données axées sur le suivi de la qualité des données sur le paludisme dans le cadre des supervision de routine. L'outil vise à standardiser et à faciliter les évaluations de routine menées par des équipes de district lors des visites de supervision formative dans les établissements de santé et peut être utilisé par le personnel du niveau central et régional conjointement avec les équipes des districts pour contribuer aux efforts d'amélioration de la qualité des données. Rejoignez CHISU pour découvrir l'expérience des pays en matière d'adoption et de mise en œuvre de mRDQA au Mali, en Guinée et en Côte d'Ivoire. Les pays partageront leurs succès et leurs défis ainsi que les approches de solutions. Nous espérons voir davantage de pays s’engager dans l’adoption et la mise en œuvre de l’application mobile développée sous Android pour améliorer la qualité des données sur le paludisme. Ce webinaire sera en français. Une interprétation en anglais sera assurée.
