Changing Minds to Change Numbers - It's Not Always About Resources

Over the past few months, Boost has highlighted stories of individuals and partners who have driven change through an intitative called Bright Spots. From immunization in conflict settings to community engagement to bottom-up approaches to planning, there is innovation occurring at all levels of the system. Boost members are invited to engage with story submitters through interactive webinars that showcase promising practices from selected Bright Spots stories. The content of these webinars will be most relevant for immunization program staff working at the national or sub-national level.

This fifth Bright Spots will feature Immunization Technical Officer Green Sadru from John Snow Inc (JSI) as he shares his story of addressing low vaccination coverage in the Kagera Region in northwestern Tanzania through interacting with critical stakeholders, such as community religious leaders and health facility governing committees.

Over the course of the session, Sadru will share his process and challenges, lessons learned, successes to date and highlight some of his approaches that might be relevant to you in your own work.
