I was really pleased to work with @VillageReach on this last year, as part of my work as an independent consultant, reflecting on OpenLMIS’ journey towards sustainability. The report has lots of useful insights for other global goods, and anyone on the quest to sustainability!
OpenLMIS is one of the first global health goods to transition to a more sustainable model. We’ve learned a lot about planning for sustainability, goal setting in the context of market gaps, and when to pursue private partnerships. Read more: https://t.co/2w7aDSL0YH

Am starting a new supervisee work relationship and as ever returning to these great questions for a first 1-to-1 from @lara_hogan. My favourite is "What makes you grumpy?" and "How will I know when you are grumpy?"

Choice is so important in health, but sometimes seems to be sidelined in global health. I shared my thoughts here, inspired by a great blog from @KatriBertram #globalhealth

The last few years, including my Masters and seeing global health from a different perspective professionally, have taught me a lot but also helped me reflect on where and how things need to be...

Great case study from @VillageReach showing how Journey to Scale with Government tool can be applied. Captures challenges on the way, but shows how deep collaboration between government and partners enabled successful scale and transition to government

A massive congratulations to the team @SpringImpact for this report, capturing so many great learnings from 10 years of working to scale impact! So pleased to have been part of the journey and great to see organisations like @irisintervent, @FCA_coaching and @MSIchoices showcased
#News! We are thrilled to publish #Journeytoimpact, our 10-year report. Since 2011, we've supported over 250 orgs. to scale their impact. The report shares 5 lessons we’ve learned, and the real-world stories of the amazing nonprofits we’ve partnered with: https://t.co/v3Mneh4BCn

Fascinating @LSEGlobalHealth event on reframing Health for all as investment rather than cost. Love @MazzucatoM comment on need to focus on problem to be solved & re-shape how public policy is made, rather than developing health, industrial policy, etc in isolation #LSECOVID19

The more I learn about inequitable Covid vaccine distribution the angrier I get, and then the UK and others are also blocking the call for IP waivers to enable more countries to manufacture vaccines. I agree there should be global outcry - why is this getting so little coverage?
There should be global outcry that this handful of countries are blocking other countries from being able to manufacture COVID-19 vaccines and medical tools

Really good article - shows that the desire to adhere to restrictions is high, and very often it is the structural barriers that prevent people from doing so
While blaming rule-breakers is satisfying & easy, "psychologising and individualising the issue of adherence, one disregards the structural factors which underlie the spread of infection." This is a great article by @ProfJohnDrury @ReicherStephen (22/n) https://t.co/JohEZyMh9v

When it comes to the fight against #COVID19, no one is safe until everyone is safe. Solidarity, Solidarity, Solidarity, are key for saving lives and livelihoods. We’re one big family. #SolidarityDay

With @SpringImpact I've loved working with @MSIchoices Zambia to embed the Diva Centre principles into the public sector. Great piece from @IDEOorg on how their work has evolved over time, with a focus on sustainability and systems change. https://t.co/Ghqqrozr5c via@SSIReview

To address more complex social challenges, design thinking must become radically more collaborative and oriented toward systems change.

An interesting, but depressing, read. If the point is to innovate and then scale, but big NGOs won’t scale solutions created by social entrepreneurs, or are implementing projects that won’t let them, it’s such a wasted opportunity
“If replication by NGOs isn’t a promising route to scale, well, that’s scandalous.” @mulagostarr (@MulagoFound) reflects on the absence of effective #scaling via big NGOs and calls on them to double down on supporting social entrepreneurs. #impact

I believe government is a crucial partner in achieving impact at scale, so I’m so excited to share this tool for anyone on that journey - designed to bring to the forefront the mindset change needed, and the crucial questions to ask along the way @SpringImpact @VillageReach
Too often, government priorities are not front and center when developing solutions to be sustained at scale. A new tool lays the foundation for radically collaborating with government on the #JourneytoScale. https://t.co/GgsCdS8K13
