Storytelling @USAIDGH with Global Health Month+ More

1. Storytelling @USAIDGH with Global Health Month+ More

2. Imperative We must engage in a conversation with the people we serve, and empower citizens to use their voice on finding success and economic opportunity; and do so in a way that uncovers stories of hardship, hard work and hard-earned gains Get off the sideline and stimulate discourse; identify and engage community-focused organizations, potential innovators, bloggers Place grassroots voices at the center of the narrative and the procedures and processes to determine and then articulate new goals.

3. Change the narrative Our narrative must evolve as well to value people and human rights; we must demonstrate collective solidarity, and a commitment to the people we try to serve. Peril of the single story; robs people of dignity

4. Unleash social change ‘Aid' is only of value when it supports the struggles of the many to unleash social change, making communities more adaptive and resilient in the process. Communications can influence policy, amplify local leaders, enable social activism, hold Governments accountable

5. @USAID Health History USAID is celebrating five decades of success in global health.  We are grateful for the role all of our implementing partners have played in these successes.  For this reason, we would be honored if you would help compile USAID's health legacy to date.  Please read on to learn more about our health legacy project and how your organization can partake.

13. Global Health Month+ • Starting with April 22, with World Malaria Day, USAID has looked at the topic of child survival through a series of different lenses. These have included malaria, immunizations, innovation, mothers, partnership, AIDS-Free Generation, family planning and nutrition. • Through each of these focuses we’ve utilized the networks of our partners by cross-posting blogs and digital content on the USAID blog and social media channels. In addition, we provided a toolkit for partners for each focus area. The toolkit provided event information, key messages, specific asks for engagement, and sample social media content. • We featured 40 partner blogs on USAID IMPACT • Through the use of the #GHMattershashtag, more than 1 million people have been engaged through our themed weeks.
