Editorial

Dear colleagues, ...Healthy DEvelopments in 2019: Looking back - and looking ahead... as the year is drawing to a close, it is time to take a look back and appreciate what you helped achieve in the course of an eventful year. About Healthy DEvelopments The BMZ web portal Healthy DEvelopments, with its range of publication formats including the German Health Practice Collection (GHPC), makes learning experiences in the fields of health and social protection of German development cooperation visible to a broad expert audience and contributes to knowledge management in the global health sector.  The sector programme PROFILE (with the consulting firm management4health) implements both Healthy DEvelopments and GHPC on behalf of BMZ. New articles, case studies and events  In 2019, we published a total of 68 articles/contributions (nearly six per month), including 11 articles in our flagship In Focus series, reporting from KfW- and GIZ-supported programmes in Cambodia, Ethiopia, Liberia, Malawi, Nepal and the East African Community.  In cooperation with the Sector Initiative Population Dynamics, Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights we set up the new mini-portal population dynamics. Healthy DEvelopments reported on 16 events relevant to, or (co-)hosted by BMZ or German health or social protection programmes. This includes a series of articles covering events such as the World Health Summit and a panel discussion on Germany's contribution to polio eradication and our (almost) live conference documentations from two regional GIZ conferences ‘Resilient societies - ready for the future!' in Malawi and ‘Digitalisation and the future of health and social protection in A sia and Eastern Europe' in Kyrgyzstan to name but a few. In January, the GHPC published its first discussion paper ‘A systems perspective on Universal Social Protection' and this year BMZ commissioned two case studies: ‘Success factors of German support to UHC reform processes in India and Indonesia' and ‘SORMAS - Surveillance, Outbreak Response Management and Analysis System in Nigeria and Ghana'. Both case studies will be published in the first quarter of 2020. Our audience Our user statistics tells us that Healthy DEvelopments has an average of 20.000 page views per month, with about 700 different pages in all our subsections being visited. The number of documents downloaded per month averages at 12.000, which includes approx. 1600 (long and short versions of) GHPC studies. We reach 833 followers directly via Twitter and our bimonthly newsletter has 411 subscribers. 75 newly subscribed in 2019.  Plans for 2020 In 2020, we will continue to serve as a knowledge exchange platform that helps you broadly share the results and insights generated through your work. If you and your partners would like to present your collaboration, its results and the tools you developed to a wider audience, don't hesitate to get in touch - we're happy to help you make this happen. Thank you very much! Thank you for the fruitful collaboration throughout 2019! Let us continue to jointly learn from implementation and to showcase German Development Cooperation in health and social protection.   Wishing you a joyful festive season, Katja Roll, Maja Opua and Anna von Roenne Connect with Healthy DEvelopments on social media:          Disclaimer    Site notice    © 2010-2019 Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development
