Call to Action for Strengthening Nutrition Content in Pre-Service Training

Investing in pre-service training is an effective and sustainable way to improve nutrition services, but it requires collaboration among governments, academic institutions, professional associations, funders, and technical experts to ensure curricula prepare frontline health workers to deliver quality nutrition services.

On March 1, 2023, USAID Advancing Nutrition engaged key stakeholders in Bangladesh, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Ghana, Malawi, Mozambique, and the Kyrgyz Republic in a virtual consultative meeting to better understand the complexity of the challenges and opportunities around strengthening the nutrition components of pre-service training for health workers. This brief summarizes the consultation discussions generated, the opportunities highlighted, the lessons shared, and the recommendations jointly formulated as a way forward. It issues a call to action to all stakeholders to better integrate nutrition into pre-service education and more regularly facilitate curriculum review and updates.

Counseling for Choice: The Choice Book for Providers

Counseling for Choice (C4C) is an evidence-based approach to contraceptive counseling aimed at supporting clients to make the best choice about which method is right for them. C4C was developed to address many of the causes of unmet need for contraception and discontinuation among users who still want to prevent pregnancy. C4C aims to change providers and clients’ participation in voluntary family planning counseling discussions and ensure that clients can use their voice, choice, and agency to make contraceptive choices that meet their needs. The approach requires a thorough training in C4C techniques and the use of the Choice Book for Providers, a job aid and visual tool providers use with clients during counseling sessions. The C4C Choice Books have been translated into English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Le Guide Pratique du Design Centré sur l’Humain

Adopter le design centré sur l’humain, c’est s’ouvrir à l’idée que tous les problèmes peuvent être résolus, même ceux qui semblent insurmontables comme la pauvreté, l’égalité des sexes ou l’accès à l’eau propre.

C’est aussi accepter que ce sont les gens confrontés à ces problèmes au quotidien qui détiennent la clé de la solution. Le design centré sur l’humain offre aux personnes chargées de résoudre les problèmes la possibilité de chercher des solutions de concert avec les collectivités, de vraiment comprendre les gens qu’elles cherchent à servir, d’imaginer une multitude d’idées et de parvenir à des solutions innovantes, ancrées dans les besoins réels des gens.
