Bangladesh Knowledge Management Initiative

Under the Bangladesh Knowledge Management Initiative (BKMI), the Government of Bangladesh (GOB) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), with technical support from K4Health, are working to deliver coordinated, integrated, and harmonized communication and knowledge management that motivates healthier population, health, and nutrition (PHN) behaviors and increases use of health services among communities. This effort is part of the U.S. Government’s Global Health Initiative (GHI), which focuses on maximizing sustainable health impacts and looks for unique and innovative opportunities to scale-up existing efforts. Bangladesh has been selected as a “GHI-plus” country.

To increase access to, comprehension of, and application of integrated, coordinated, and harmonized PHN BCC knowledge and resources, K4Health will provide logistics to deliver digital BCC tools and resources to frontline health care workers, including electronic Toolkits of coordinated PHN messages and materials and PHN eLearning courses.

Responding to the Need for Family Planning through Expanded Contraceptive Choices and Program Services (RESPOND)

The RESPOND Project, a five-year cooperative agreement funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), works to increase the use of high-quality family planning (FP) services. Lead by EngenderHealth, the project addresses the unmet need for healthy timing, spacing, and limiting of childbearing by improving access to long-acting and permanent methods (LA/PMs) of contraception. RESPOND promotes renewed and sustained focus on four essential programmatic principles:

  • Employing evidence-based holistic planning that brings together supply, demand, and advocacy.
  • Ensuring the fundamentals of care—informed and voluntary decision making, medical safety, and ongoing quality improvement.
  • Addressing gender equity in decision making, services, and programs.
  • Ushering programs from pilot to scale and from advocacy to action.

As part of the implementing team, CCP will support strategic social and behavior change communication initiatives that focus on demand generation for family planning and reproductive health services.
