WHY YOUR APPLICATION MATTERS

When you apply to join the Movement, global IA2030 Partners ask you some of
their learning questions. Your anonymized, aggregated answers may be shared to
help partners better understand your needs.

 * This is a unique opportunity to have your challenges and support needs heard
   and the value of your experience recognized.
 * Most of the questions are simple “Yes/No” or multiple choice. Questions
   asking you to share more about your situation or story are optional.
 * In the application, we ask about your work and well-being, the challenges you
   face, and the support you need.

WHAT DO I NEED TO THINK ABOUT BEFORE I START THE APPLICATION?

Here are the application questions that require reflection before you write out
your answers

Tell us more about your work and well-being.

What are the worst and best parts of your job? Where do you find the motivation
to continue your work? What helps you feel involved in your work?

How has the COVID-19 pandemic changed how you feel about your work? What makes
you lose or gain your motivation?

Tell us more about the effect of the introduction of the COVID-19 vaccine for
routine immunization (RI) and primary health care (PHC) services in the area
where you work.

Explain what has happened. What measures, if any, have been taken to mitigate
disruptions or potential disruptions to health workers involvement in routine
immunization due to COVID-19 vaccination activities where you work?

Do you have a story about gender barriers to immunization that you would like to
share?

Tell us more about what you are doing to reach zero-dose children and missed
communities.

Now, tell us more about how we can better support you.

What are the barriers for you to tackle the challenge you face? For your
challenge, what kind of support would be most helpful to you? Why? Tell us more
about your motivation to join the Movement for Immunization Agenda 2030. What do
you hope to gain? What do you want to contribute? How will participating in this
Movement help you improve your work?

Do you have something that you want to share with colleagues?

What you share does not need to be a “big” idea. We are interested in what you
are doing that helps you to continue or improve your immunization work, even in
a small way.

WHAT QUESTIONS DO I NEED TO ANSWER IN THE APPLICATION?

First, we ask you for:

 * Consent to share your data, to confirm your supervisor’s support, and to make
   commitments to follow country and WHO guidelines on COVID-19 and immunization

 * Your legal name and birthdate to confirm your identity for certification.

well-being, especially your motivation and how learning is being supported where
you work.

We ask about the challenges you face

****In 2020, global immunization coverage levels for infants dropped back to
2009 levels. It is like we lost 11 years of hard work. So we ask you about the
challenges you face: COVID-19 vaccination, epidemic outbreaks (measles, yellow
fever, etc.), gender inequality, and zero-dose children.

We ask you to pick the challenge that you will work on in the Movement

Then we ask you to identify your most difficult and important challenge. This is
the one that you will focus on in the Movement. (You can always change later.)

Are you truly interested in learning with colleagues from all over the world?

Because the Movement is about learning, sharing experience, and collaborating
with others, we ask you to confirm to what extent this is what you want to do.

We ask you to share your successes, ideas, and lessons learned

Because we know that you have many strengths, we ask you if you want to share a
success story, and idea, or a lesson learned with colleagues.

We ask you if you want to help build and shape the Movement for IA2030

We ask you if you want to join the Organizing Committee to help build the
Movement for Immunization Agenda 2030.

Global partners request your help

Finally, we ask you to answer questions that IA2030 global partners are
specifically interested in, about the effect of COVID-19 on routine
immunization, catch-up activities, and your own COVID-19 vaccination. (You can
choose to skip these questions.)

“WE NEED PEOPLE TO FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE THE AUTHORITY AND ARE EMPOWERED TO LEAD
CHANGE IN THEIR COMMUNITY, IN THEIR PROGRAMME, AT THE MOST LOCAL LEVEL,
UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE GOAL IS AND WHAT THE TARGETS ARE, TAKING THOSE CRITICAL
THINGS THAT REALLY CANNOT BE COMPROMISED AND ADAPTING ALL AROUND THAT.”

Kate O’Brien, Director of Immunization, World Health Organization (WHO)


WHEN YOU JOIN THE MOVEMENT FOR IMMUNIZATION AGENDA 2030, WE WILL ASK YOU TO
CHOOSE ONE CHALLENGE YOU FACE IN YOUR WORK.


THEN WE WILL ASK YOU TO TELL US WHAT SUPPORT YOU NEED TO TACKLE THIS CHALLENGE.


DO YOU FACE ANY OF THESE CHALLENGES?

INTERNALLY DISPLACED (IDP)

CONFLICT SETTINGS

REFUGEES

IF SO, WE ESPECIALLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO JOIN THE MOVEMENT FOR IMMUNIZATION AGENDA
2030.


IN APRIL 2021, OVER 5,000 IMMUNIZATION PROFESSIONALS CAME TOGETHER DURING WORLD
IMMUNIZATION WEEK TO LISTEN AND LEARN FROM CHALLENGES FACED BY IMMUNIZATION
COLLEAGUES FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Watch the Special Event to hear practitioners from all over the world share the
challenges they face and listen to the Geneva Learning Foundation’s Charlotte
Mbuh take the floor at the United Nations General Assembly Side Event for
Immunization Agenda 2030.





“MY ‘EUREKA MOMENT’ WAS WHEN THE PRESENTER EMPHASIZED THAT MANY OUTBREAKS ARE
HAPPENING THROUGHOUT THE GLOBE AND IT IS THE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM WHO CAN STEER
THINGS IN A BETTER DIRECTION. THIS GAVE ME MOTIVATION AND CONFIDENCE THAT BY
UNIFYING ON A PLATFORM AND BY DISCUSSING THE CHALLENGES, WE CAN REACH A
SOLUTION.”

“IMMUNIZATION AGENDA 2030 (IA2030) SHOULD BE ON EVERYONE’S LIPS, OWNED BY
EVERYONE. WE HOPE THAT THERE WILL BE MANY OPTIONS TO SUPPORT PEER LEARNING AND
CONSULTATIVE ENGAGEMENT, TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE COLLECTIVE GOOD OF IMMUNIZATION.”

Ann Lindstrand, Unit Head, EPI/IVB-Department of Immunization, Vaccines and
Biologicals, World Health Organization (WHO)


WHAT IS IMMUNIZATION AGENDA 2030?


IMMUNIZATION AGENDA 2030 IS NOT JUST ANOTHER INITIATIVE. IT IS THE WORLD’S
IMMUNIZATION ROAD MAP FOR THE ENTIRE DECADE.

Fully implemented, IA2030 will help avert an estimated 50 million deaths.

Immunization services are a backbone to health systems.

IA2030 aims to:

 * maintain hard-won gains in immunization
 * recover from disruptions caused by COVID-19
 * strengthen primary health care
   support innovation
 * improve access and equity of vaccines and immunization programs

As an immunization professional working at the national or sub-national level,
you are key to the success of this unprecedented mobilization for immunization.


 

The world’s response to the pandemic has demonstrated the power of vaccines to
fight disease, save lives, and create a healthier, safer, and more prosperous
future.

As an immunization professional working at the national or sub-national level,
you are key to the success of this unprecedented mobilization for immunization.

Immunization Agenda 2030 makes no sense if, in every country, it is not
translated into practical interventions.

That is why it starts with you, where you work.


FROM IMMUNIZATION TO PRIMARY HEALTH CARE

We see immunization as an entry point, a marker of equity of all health services
and for primary health care. 

 * In the previous decade, the focus was on the logistics and supply chain of
   how to deliver vaccines. 
 * To reach the unreached today requires a shift from vaccines to vaccination.
 * Barriers that remain are increasingly related to new kinds of workforce
   capabilities and performance at the local levels. 


IMMUNIZATION AGENDA 2030 MAKES NO SENSE IF, IN EVERY COUNTRY, IT IS NOT
TRANSLATED INTO PRACTICAL INTERVENTIONS. THAT IS WHY IT STARTS WITH YOU, WHERE
YOU WORK.


WATCH THE INAUGURAL LECTURE BY DR ANN LINDSTRAND (WHO) AND DR ROBIN NANDY
(UNICEF) FOR IMMUNIZATION AGENDA 2030 (IA2030)




WHAT IS THE MOVEMENT FOR IMMUNIZATION AGENDA 2030?

At the Seventy-Fourth World Health Assembly, the Director General of the World
Health Organization called for “a broad social movement for immunization that
will ensure that immunization remains high on global and regional health agendas
and help to generate a groundswell of support or social movement for
immunization”.

Immunization Agenda (IA2030) was unanimously adopted by countries at the World
Health Assembly in 2020. It is supported by partner organizations from every
country and region of the world.

A Movement is larger than any one individual or organization. Countries, civil
society, and partners are coming together in a global movement to achieve the
goals of IA2030. The Geneva Learning Foundation is one of many working to
support this Movement. We invite you to join too.

Being connected to one another, engaging directly in two-way dialogue with
global experts, is transforming our own mindset.

Are you truly interested in learning with colleagues from all over the world?

Because the Movement is about learning, sharing experience, and collaborating
with others, we ask you to confirm to what extent this is what you want to do.

We ask you to share your successes, ideas, and lessons learned

Because we know that you have many strengths, we ask you if you want to share a
success story, and idea, or a lesson learned with colleagues.

We ask you if you want to help build and shape the Movement for IA2030

We ask you if you want to join the Organizing Committee to help build the
Movement for Immunization Agenda 2030.

Global partners request your help

Finally, we ask you to answer questions that IA2030 global partners are
specifically interested in, about the effect of COVID-19 on routine
immunization, catch-up activities, and your own COVID-19 vaccination. (You can
choose to skip these questions.)

What do I need to think about before applying?

Questions that require reflection before you write out your answers

Tell us more about your work and well-being.

What are the worst and best parts of your job? Where do you find the motivation
to continue your work? What helps you feel involved in your work?

How has the COVID-19 pandemic changed how you feel about your work? What makes
you lose or gain your motivation?

Tell us more about the effect of the introduction of the COVID-19 vaccine for
routine immunization (RI) and primary health care (PHC) services in the area
where you work. Explain what has happened. What measures, if any, have been
taken to mitigate disruptions or potential disruptions to health workers
involvement in routine immunization due to COVID-19 vaccination activities where
you work?

Do you have a story about gender barriers to immunization that you would like to
share?

Tell us more about what you are doing to reach zero-dose children and missed
communities.

Tell us more about how we can better support you. What are the barriers for you
to tackle the challenge you face? For your challenge, what kind of support would
be most helpful to you? Why? Tell us more about your motivation to join the
Movement for Immunization Agenda 2030. What do you hope to gain? What do you
want to contribute? How will participating in this Movement help you improve
your work?

Do you have something that you want to share with colleagues? What you share
does not need to be a “big” idea. We are interested in what you are doing that
helps you to continue or improve your immunization work, even in a small way.

I WAS ACCEPTED TO COHORT 3. CAN I STILL JOIN THE MOVEMENT?

The World Health Organization’s Scholar Level 1 certification for Immunization
Agenda 2030 will run from 7 March until 13 May 2022.

WHO course participants are welcome to join the Movement, but encouraged to
focus their attention on the WHO course.

 

IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM THE WHO SCHOLAR IA2030 LEVEL 1 CERTIFICATION?

Yes. The activities offered by the Geneva Learning Foundation’s Full Learning
Cycle, intended to contribute to the Movement for Immunization Agenda 2030,
are different from the WHO Scholar Level 1 certification course on IA2030.
Anyone can apply to join the Full Learning Cycle. Alumni of the WHO course are
welcome to join the Full Learning Cycle, just like everyone else. 


OUR STORY FROM COVID-19 TO IA2030: CELEBRATING THE FIRST YEAR OF A NEW DIGITAL
HEALTH COLLABORATION AGAINST THE PANDEMIC


“I CAN TELL YOU THIS EXPERIENCE CHANGED MY LIFE. IT HAS CHANGED MY PRACTICE AND
MADE ME THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT THE WAY I WORK, CONSIDERING THINGS I DID NOT
THINK ABOUT BEFORE.”


IN JULY 2020, IMMUNIZATION PROFESSIONALS FROM 85 COUNTRIES CAME TOGETHER TO
CREATE THE COVID-19 PEER HUB.

In the face of the unknown, we came together from health facilities to the
national planning teams – every level of the health system –, inventing new ways
to work together across geographic borders in the face of a common challenge.

We shared ideas, tapping into our collective know-how, first to keep vaccination
going, keeping both staff and families safe, and then to prepare for the arrival
of COVID-19 vaccines.

Today, many of the Peer Hub’s founders are helping to lead their countries’
COVID-19 response and vaccine introduction. This is no coincidence.

Together, we created the world’s largest digital health community for national
and sub-national immunization managers.


LEARNING TO RELY ON EACH OTHER

“In the face of the pandemic, we learned to trust and rely on each other, across
barriers of geography, roles, gender, and health system levels. We realized that
what we know about our challenges, no one else knows. The solutions will come
from us.”


INTERNATIONAL SHARING

“It was a opportunity like I have never had before…I have studied with peer from
my country. Having a lot of people from other countries sharing their experience
was something else.”


TRUSTED CONNECTIONS

“Connected to colleagues from around the world, I realized that we now have the
means to collaborate with other professionals.”


HELPFUL INSIGHTS

“It was great learning from other scholars the challenges they faced and how
they are tackling them. This gave me an insight into how to deal with same
challenges in my country.”

WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT OUR LEARNING-TO-ACTION APPROACH?

“The Geneva Learning Foundation contributes to transforming learning,
leadership, and training to strengthen immunization programmes, connecting
health providers who are motivated to do their jobs well and achieve results.”
TGLF’s problem-solving peer learning is “the best example of such an approach in
the immunization context”. – Report to Gavi on “Mapping and Assessing Learning
and Performance Management Approaches for Frontline Health Workers” (2021)


LEARNING IS ABOUT PROBLEM-SOLVING AND CRITICAL THINKING – NOT JUST KNOWLEDGE.

 * Discover how much you can learn from your peers by giving and receiving
   feedback in many different ways.
 * Learn to trust and support colleagues in the course – and discover that this
   can greatly strengthen your own learning.
 * Challenge your assumptions about how you learn in order to succeed.
 * You may be skeptical about how much you can learn from other participants –
   given that you do not know their expertise or experience.

We ask that you trust the process – and expect to initially find yourself
outside your comfort zone until you have experienced a moment of significant
learning.


WHY FOCUS ON OUR CHALLENGES?

 * We believe that disruptive, cross-cutting learning strategies that challenge
   traditional power dynamics are needed.
 * Problem-solving competencies are increasingly key to immunization programme
   performance.
 * Distributed networks can crowdsource solutions to problems by seeking help
   from peers facing similar challenges, even if working in different locations.
 * Such approaches can empower immunization professionals to apply local
   knowledge to solve problems and contribute to global expertise.

HAS THE GENEVA LEARNING FOUNDATION’S APPROACH BEEN EVALUATED?

 The first formal evaluation, completed in June 2019, found:

 1. Scholars reported extraordinarily high levels of use of what they gained
    from the programme.
 2. Scholars who implemented course projects documented, in some cases, that
    their learning contributed to actions that resulted in immunization
    coverage.
 3. Peer support offered during courses had positive effects on implementation
    and fostered a culture of mutual support leading to the formation of
    informal, self-led and motivated country-based groupings of professionals
    operating across agencies.

The survey response rate was 81%, evidencing enthusiasm and motivation.


EVIDENCE THAT MUTUAL SUPPORT CAN SCALE AND STIR MOTIVATION AND LEADERSHIP

In 2020, the Foundation evaluated its challenge-based learning methodology,
first used in the Teach to Reach programme’s Immunization Training Challenge
Hackathons (ITCH).

 * The evaluation found that this approach fostered large-scale individual
   learning that, when aggregated, could contribute to improve country-level
   outcomes.
 * Furthermore, such sessions offered support to those facing challenges,
   responsiveness to concerns, and fostered a sense of community.

One participant wrote, “the sessions were a support system to me.”

WHAT OUTCOMES ARE BEING ACHIEVED THROUGH THIS APPROACH?

All participants are sharing back their progress to help us learn about outcomes
that include:

 * Following up on finding and vaccinating zero dose and defaulting children
 * Tracking & vaccinating migrant populations
 * Setting up a Missed Opportunities in Vaccination (MOV) system to ensure
   eligible children present at outpatient/other PHC “stations” in a facility
   receive vaccinations
   Improving geographic equity by increasing outreach sites in hard-to-reach
   areas
 * Increasing frequency of services in higher volume urban facilities
 * Using community engagement approaches to bring on board leaders to support
   immunization, who were previously opposed

These are examples of outcomes we have been tracking since July 2019


PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION

This initiative uses a “Privacy by Design” approach. This means that we think
about privacy implications before we ask you to share information, we don’t ask
for information we don’t need, and we protect the information you share. We
pride ourselves on treating the privacy of our learners as we would like to be
treated, as individuals.


CODE OF CONDUCT

Participants in the Foundation’s programmes are required to adhere to a strict
Code of Conduct.

Violation of the Code of Conduct may result in removal from the programme, loss
of certification (including previous certifications), and notification of your
employer.

We consider integrity to be the foundation of successful collaboration. We
therefore consider honesty - in the representation of our work and in our
interactions - to be the foundation of our community.

Members of our community of Scholars are required to commit to producing work
that meets the highest ethical, scientific, and intellectual standards,
including accurate attribution of sources, appropriate collection and use of
data, and transparent acknowledgement of the contributions of others to their
ideas, discoveries, interpretations, and conclusions.

Cheating on work or projects, plagiarizing or presenting someone else’s ideas or
language as one’s own, falsifying data, or any other instances of dishonesty
violate the norms of our community, as well as the norms of the immunization
world in general.


RESEARCH, COMMUNICATION, AND EVALUATION

The Geneva Learning Foundation and its partners may review projects and other
knowledge produced by learners. We reserve the right to use them in our
communication, advocacy and training efforts. You will be asked for your consent
when you apply.

What you produce and share as a learner will be deposited in the protected TGLF
learning analytics database managed by the Centre for Change and Complexity in
Learning, University of South Australia.

Learners may be invited to participate in research and evaluation by the Geneva
Learning Foundation and its partners. Participation in such research is entirely
voluntary. You may discontinue your participation at any time. In cases where a
learner does not give consent, no data will be collected about them.
Participation or non-participation will have no effect on the evaluation of your
performance or on your current or future relationship with the Foundation or the
partners involved.

The Geneva Learning Foundation is a Swiss non-profit with the mission to
develop, trial, and scale up new ways to lead change to tackle the challenges
that threaten our societies.

The Geneva Learning Foundation is working in partnership with Bridges to
Development and the Centre for Change and Complexity in Learning. 

This initiative is launched with support from the Wellcome Trust and under a
business planning grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF).
