We are excited to introduce #FinalistFriday, a weekly showcase of the 2024 Concordia Annual Summit’s #P3Impact Award finalists. Meet The Challenge Initiative (TCI) 🎉 TCI revolutionizes family planning by addressing the rapid urbanization in Africa and Asia. Engaging over 200 city governments across 13 countries, TCI provides vital support to implement high-impact family planning practices. Spearheaded by Johns Hopkins University’s William H. Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health, with backing from Bayer AG and the Gates Foundation, TCI operates through regional hubs in East Africa, Francophone West Africa, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, and the Philippines. What sets TCI apart is its commitment to empowering local governments by investing their own resources and political will. Through the Challenge Fund and comprehensive coaching, TCI supports quality implementation and leadership skills, driving impactful change. Since 2016, TCI has added 4.5 million family planning users across 213 cities, reaching a total population of 244 million. 🌍📈 👉🏽 Explore the transformative work of The Challenge Initiative here: https://lnkd.in/e5S8Kpt7 Join us September 23–25 at #Concordia24 to find out who will win the 11th annual P3 Impact Award!

🇳🇬 📈 New research led by CCP shows that a co-financing model used in #Nigeria to fund #familyplanning expenses is not only sustainable—it could also serve as a blueprint for other regions. Through The Challenge Initiative, led in Nigeria by CCP and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, this model has successfully encouraged 22 states to allocate significant funds for family planning. By contributing $4.6 million of their own money to family planning, these state governments have often exceeded their commitments to spending on activities from capacity strengthening to data management. 👏 👉 Read more insights from TCI and CCP's research published in the latest supplement of the Global Health Science and Practice Journal: https://bit.ly/461pnIf

🆕 📊 New research led by Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs shows that a co-financing model used in #Nigeria to fund #familyplanning expenses is sustainable—and could serve as a blueprint for other regions. 🇳🇬 Through The Challenge Initiative (TCI), led in Nigeria by CCP and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, this model has successfully encouraged 22 states to allocate significant funds for family planning by incentivizing investment through matching funds. The result? Governments have contributed $4.6 million of their own money to family planning—often even exceeding their commitments to spending on activities from capacity strengthening to data management. 👉 Read more insights from TCI and CCP's research published in the latest supplement of the Global Health: Science and Practice Journal in our blog: https://lnkd.in/gsVVqhby Interested in learning more? Join us for a webinar on Thursday, July 11, led by the William H.
