What if your knowledge management innovation was the next game changer for family planning programs in your country, or beyond?

Dear Ados,

Today we’re announcing The Pitch, a series of regional competitions that places stakeholders in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia at the center of designing and implementing knowledge management innovations. Four KM Champion Innovators will be awarded up to USD $50,000 each, through subawards, to implement their innovative ideas for changing the way we share our knowledge and experiences in the FP/RH sector. 

• Visit the competition webpage in English or French

• Register for our launch event to be held January 14, 2021

• Submit your innovation in knowledge management by February 4, 2021

We asked Ellen Starbird, USAID's Director of the Office of Population and Reproductive Health, what excites her about knowledge management for FP/RH and why she believes The Pitch can transform how we approach FP/RH programs. Click on the image below to watch the video.
