SUMMARY:Where Does the Money Go? (N4G Side Event)
DESCRIPTION:Where does the money from N4G commitments go\, and which interventions should be prioritized to achieve impact on nutrition and health? \nThis side event will highlight high-impact\, but underfunded\, interventions that have the potential to transform health and nutrition outcomes\, such as strengthening the delivery of community health and nutrition programming and integrating nutrition into primary health care. \nAdditionally\, this event will explore how funding for nutrition\, including from N4G commitments\, could leverage global health initiatives (GHIs) like the Global Financing Facility (GFF) and Gavi\, the Vaccine Alliance and mechanisms such as the World Bank’s International Development Association (IDA). By prioritizing these investments\, N4G commitments can help mobilize investments at the country level and help achieve the World Bank’s Universal Health Coverage (UHC) target of reaching 1.5 billion people with quality\, affordable health services by 2030\, while tackling malnutrition\, improving immunization coverage\, and addressing preventable but deadly diseases like tuberculosis. \nFeatured panelists \n\nTaryn Russell\, Executive Director\, Results Canada (confirmed): Moderator.\nDr. Patricia N’Goran\, Advisor\, National Coordinator of the National Council for Nutrition and Food (confirmed) will give opening remarks.\nHon. Berni Naman MP\, Côte d’Ivoire (confirmed) to discuss the critical gaps in nutrition and health financing in their context and the impact of global health investments.\nAlia Poonawala\, Private Sector Engagement Lead\, Resource Mobilization\, Gavi\, the Vaccine Alliance (confirmed) to highlight how they are uniquely positioned to mitigate the occurrence and impact of malnutrition through immunization.\nSupriya Madhavan\, RMNCAH-N & Gender Lead\, Global Financing Facility (confirmed) to discuss how the mechanism leverages grants to create an incentive for domestic resources mobilization for maternal and child health and nutrition.\n\nHosted by the ACTION Secretariat\, Global Health Advocates\, and Results Canada \nIn-person location: Civil Society Pavilion at La Serre\, 2 avenue de la Porte de la Plaine\, entrance door B\, 75015 Paris (France). Note that in-person registration for the venue is closed. \nVirtual Participation: Link to live sessions for CSO Pavilion (FYI\, at present it shows the agenda but will be updated closer to the summit.)

SUMMARY:Empowered Worldview: Evidence of Faith-based Programming on Mindsets and Child Well-being in Rural Tanzania
DESCRIPTION:Can faith-based mindset shifts improve child health outcomes? Join World Vision Canada and the Joint Learning Initiative on Faith & Local Communities to explore new evidence from a multi-year\, mixed-methods study on the Empowered Worldview program\, highlighting its impacts on hope\, self-efficacy and well-being in rural Tanzania. \nFrom 2019 to 2024\, World Vision International partnered with researchers from the University of Alberta and the Ifakara Health Institute in Tanzania to study the impact of the Empowered Worldview (EWV) program\, a faith-based behaviour change model that fosters spiritual renewal and mindset transformation. Conducted in two rural districts in Tanzania\, this mixed-methods research tested the EWV Theory of Change. \nProgram leaders\, along with researchers from the University of Alberta\, will present qualitative and quantitative insights\, highlighting the EWV model’s positive influence on hope\, self-efficacy\, self-reliance and child well-being. The event will also examine how faith\, household income and food security shaped participants’ experiences of change. \n“Empowered Worldview is a fascinating instance of how spiritual renewal can be paired with livelihood transformation as people build better futures for their children and their communities” ~ Dr. Amy Kaler\, University of Alberta\, Professor of Sociology

SUMMARY:Disappearing Data: Implications and Actions for Global Health in a New Era - Webinar 1
DESCRIPTION:The data landscape is changing. In February 2025\, the Demographic Health Survey (DHS) Program\, a major source of demographic and health data in many countries\, saw its funding discontinued. This means that the program no longer enables new data collection\, funds data analyses\, publishes reports\, facilitates dissemination activities\, or supports capacity strengthening efforts in more than 25 countries globally. Increasingly\, partners are wondering about the vulnerability of global health data sources\, at the same time as there are increasing concerns about data privacy and how information may be used. In response\, CanWaCH is hosting a two-part discussion series\, which will be followed by a collection of resources and tools for partners interested in and affected by these changes. \nThis webinar will focus on contextualizing the impacts and implications of the DHS termination and discuss actions that stakeholders are taking or could take to ensure the availability and reliability of global health data. Concerns about data preservation and access will also be explored. The session will be both informational and an opportunity for CanWaCH members and partners to share insights and discuss possible actions related to global health data. \nAttend here!
