COVID-19 Vaccination Response & Knowledge Management
COVID-19 Vaccination Response & Knowledge Management
USAID’s Global Health Bureau awarded Knowledge SUCCESS with funding to provide technical assistance to the COVID-19 vaccine response in the form of knowledge management (KM), synthesis, and sharing.
As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, managing the response is a complex undertaking requiring knowledge sharing, coordination, and continuous learning among stakeholders. USAID’s Global Health Bureau’s COVID-19 Response Team seeks to proactively respond to global needs for emergency COVID-19 programming through cross-cutting coordination, continuous learning and improvement, and knowledge exchange.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, KM must be practical, adaptable, and sustainable in a wide range of contexts to USAID staff, Missions, programs, and implementing partners, and must align with USAID’s commitment to collaboration, learning and adapting (CLA). As such, Knowledge SUCCESS plans a variety of activities that will facilitate knowledge exchange and sharing among key stakeholders in COVID-19 vaccine response and vaccination programming, document lessons learned, and provide learning opportunities for implementing partners to enhance their response efforts and prepare for future health emergencies.
Specifically, Knowledge SUCCESS will:
- Document the current COVID-19 vaccine landscape and disseminate findings
- Curate resources and synthesize knowledge related to the COVID-19 vaccine response and related programming
- Support knowledge exchange among COVID-19 vaccine implementing partners, and
- Publish COVID-19 vaccine lessons learned and programmatic adaptations
Knowledge SUCCESS will collaborate closely with COVID-19 vaccine implementing partners and other stakeholders.
With these activities, Knowledge SUCCESS and USAID envision a future in which health systems are resilient and ready, and the next global health emergency has a lesser impact on health systems, countries, and communities, and thus less lives lost.
