Goal 4: Establish systems for sharing knowledge, tools, and resources for SBC in Africa

Establish systems for sharing knowledge, tools, and resources for SBC in Africa

Create a central repository for evidence of SBC impact, research, tools, and resources in Africa. AS-SBC will document and share best practices in SBC in Africa, including evidence of SBC cost-effectiveness in health and other development sectors. The Society will publish a compendium of best practices and innovations in SBC globally, updated annually. It will incentivize members to document and share best practices in SBC in Africa, linking member benefits to knowledge sharing.

Maintain forums for members to share knowledge, tools and resources. AS-SBC will
continue to maintain the Next Big Thing WhatsApp group for members, making it more gender sensitive, more focused on SBC issues, and more relevant to countries other than Uganda. AS-SBC will also maintain its website, adding features to encourage member participation, and may also establish a LinkedIn page. The Society will also continue to organise virtual knowledge sharing and learning events (see Objective 3.3) during which members can share tools, resources and learnings
from practical experience.

Publish a newsletter or magazine. AS-SBC will publish a digital newsletter or magazine on a regular basis, highlighting activities of the Society and its members, as well as relevant news from elsewhere in the world. The newsletter will encourage member contributions and exchange and will notify members about upcoming opportunities and events.
