Application Deadline: November 13th 2016
Are you a healthcare manager running a program in Sub-Saharan Africa, aspiring to scale up your program or enter new markets?
Are you struggling with a central question around your business model, one that other program managers may have insight into?
Could you benefit from traveling or engaging virtually to learn from a similar healthcare program, either in your country or internationally?
The Center for Health Market Innovations (CHMI), in partnership with Solina Health, is thrilled to announce its third Call for Applications for the CHMI Learning Exchange.
Recognizing the excellence and innovation within our global network, the CHMI Learning Exchange aims to facilitate structured learning partnerships between organizations that are profiled on CHMI, helping programs to improve business practices, adopt innovations, or scale-up or replicate an aspect of their model to a new market. Learning Exchanges help connect health program managers to their peers for a focused opportunity that can help organizations strengthen their health businesses, and expand access to improved quality care.
The CHMI Learning Exchange will provide funding of up to US $8,000 to successful applicants to facilitate learning partnerships. Programs that apply for participation in the Learning Exchange may also be considered for participation in a Learning Collaborative – an additional in-person opportunity to work with your learning exchange partner and other programs in our network that share similar programmatic challenges
Eligibility Requirements:
- To be eligible for this opportunity, at least one program must be based in West Africa, and both programs must be based in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Program Details
Learning Exchanges will involve one or more healthcare organizations acting as lead partners and knowledge partners. One of these partners must be based in West Africa, and both programs need to be based in Sub-Saharan Africa
- Lead partner: A “lead partner” is a healthcare organization profiled by CHMI that will develop the application for the CHMI Learning Exchange and be responsible for disbursing funds to other partnering organizations. The “lead” partner can be the “learner” in a traditional “mentor-mentee” relationship; or, the lead partner and knowledge partners can represent similar organizations that may offer complementary skills, expertise, and ability to learn from one another. Lead partners should contact potential knowledge partners through CHMI or through other channels to solicit their agreement to apply for the CHMI Learning Exchange. Please contact [email protected] if you require assistance in contacting programs through our website.
- Knowledge partner: One or more healthcare organization(s) that work with a lead partner to exchange knowledge through activities specified in this application. Knowledge partner(s) should agree to participate with a lead partner prior to being named in an application for the CHMI Learning Exchange.
- Both partners should discuss the scope of the learning agenda, the way in which learning will take place, and its intended impact.
- The lead partner will submit an application to the CHMI Learning Exchange. The lead partner will assume responsibility for meeting outcomes, submitting reports, and determining whether and how funds are shared between partners. The knowledge partner will provide their organization’s commitment signature on the Lead partner’s application.
- A cohort of organizations will carry out their unique Learning Exchanges over a six-month period, from December 2016 through May 2017.
- At the conclusion of the Learning Exchange, partners will reflect on what worked and what didn’t work, and share their experiences to benefit the broader CHMI community.
