After three years, we’re ending our popular “That One Thing” email newsletter. We share the history of why we started That One Thing in April 2020 and how we decided it was time for the newsletter to come to a close.

Reflecting on the common assumption that once a website is built, people will come—or put another way, that once you build it, you’re done—with ideas for how to bring people to a website and ensure its content is used.
In March 2021, Knowledge SUCCESS and Blue Ventures, a marine conservation organization, collaborated on the second in a series of community-driven dialogues on People-Planet Connection. The goal: to uncover and amplify the learnings and impact of five national PHE networks. Learn what network members from Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Uganda, and the Philippines shared during the three-day dialogue.
We all fail; it’s an inevitable part of life. Of course, no one enjoys failing, and we certainly don’t go into new endeavors hoping to fail. Look at the potential costs: time, money, and (perhaps worst of all) dignity. But, while failure doesn’t feel good, it is actually good for us.
In the final year of SHOPS Plus, we used an approach to arrive at key themes for our last year. We will use the themes as a framework to organize our learning across the project. The steps below are not, of course, the only way to organize learnings, and they are a work in progress. We will know how well the framework holds up once we get further into programming our events. What follows is a behind-the-scenes look at how our project got ready for the whirlwind of its last year.
In early 2020, the WHO/IBP Network and Knowledge SUCCESS Project launched an effort to support organizations in sharing their experiences using High Impact Practices (HIPs) and WHO Guidelines and Tools in Family Planning and Reproductive Health Programming. These 15 implementation stories are the result of that effort.
IBP partners are using StoryMaps to visualize and share family planning program adaptations driven by COVID-19.
One of the key components to efficiently responding to global outbreaks is learning and adapting from past experiences. Reflecting on these lessons and how they can be adapted to fit our needs during the COVID pandemic can save time and help ensure an effective response. Here, we share lessons learned and effective practices from the 2016-19 USAID Zika response that are once again relevant, no matter the health emergency.
