The Geneva Learning Foundation is launching REACH (Relate, Engage, Act, Connect, Help), a new initiative to connect leaders of health organizations who are solving similar problems in different countries. Launching November 6, REACH responds to an unexpected outcome of Teach to Reach, a peer learning platform that–in less than four years–has already documented over 10,000 local solutions and experiences to health challenges by connecting more than 60,000 participants across 77 countries.
When organizations began formally participating in Teach to Reach in June 2024, many leaders discovered they were tackling similar challenges. A digital immunization tracking system in Rwanda sparked interest from several African countries. A community engagement approach to vaccine hesitancy in Nigeria resonated with teams in Kenya and Zimbabwe. These spontaneous connections led to the creation of REACH.
What is Teach to Reach?
“Teach to Reach is a place where you learn in the most formidable way. You’re learning from people’s experiences and it makes the learning very easy to adapt, very easy to replicate wherever you are,” says Ful Marine Fuen, Humanitarian Program Coordinator at Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Services.
Teach to Reach is a bilingual (French/English) peer learning platform where government health workers, local organizations, and frontline staff document, analyze, and share implementation solutions across borders. Half of all participants work in government health services, with 80% based at district and facility levels where policy meets practice. The platform’s structured learning process includes pre-event experience sharing, live sessions for discussion and networking, and post-event analysis to capture insights.
“It’s a meeting of giving and receiving. Because with Teach to Reach, we always learn from peers and we develop ourselves and develop others,” notes Arthur Fidelis Metsampito Bamlatol, Coordinator at AAPSEB Cameroon.
From individual learning to organizational impact
The impact of these connections is already visible. Nduka Ozor, Project Director at the Centre for HIV/AIDS and STD RESEARCH in Nigeria, describes how a single connection expanded his organization’s reach: “I was able to meet with a potential partner who stays in Australia. Something I thought is just an online stuff is moving into a greater partnership. We have had several meetings with other networks from that initial meeting, including with representatives of New York University.”
These kinds of partnerships form naturally as organizations share their work. Here are just three examples:
- In Rwanda, Albert Ndagijimana’s team achieved 95% childhood vaccination rates through digital tracking
- In Kenya, Samuel Mutambuki’s organization partners with local groups to address water quality and disease outbreaks
- In Zimbabwe, Rebecca Chirenga’s team tackles interconnected issues of food security, education, and health
“It is essentially a framework that allows us to share experiences… to strengthen our capacities,” says Patrice Kazadi, Project Director at Save the Children International DR Congo. “The challenges in DRC can be the same as in Ivory Coast and what is done in Ivory Coast can also help address challenges in DRC.”
REACH: A new network exclusively for Teach to Reach Partners
REACH builds on this foundation but with an important distinction – it’s exclusively for leaders of organizations that have committed to partnership with Teach to Reach. Over 700 organizational leaders have already confirmed their participation, representing both government agencies and civil society organizations.
The first REACH session on November 6 will:
- Connect organizations working on similar challenges
- Share practical approaches that have worked in different contexts
- Facilitate direct conversations between organizational leaders
- Identify potential areas for collaboration
How can organizations join REACH?
To participate in REACH, organizations must complete all partnership steps for Teach to Reach:
- Attend a Partner briefing
- Complete the Partnership application
- Share the Teach to Reach announcement
- Have organizational leadership endorse participation

We need new ways to tackle global health challenges that impact local communities.
It is obvious that technology alone is not enough.
We need human ingenuity, collaboration, and the ability to share across borders and boundaries.
That is why I am excited about Teach to Reach.
Imagine if we could tap into the collective intelligence of over 20,000 health professionals working on the front lines in low- and middle-income countries.
What insights could we gain?
What innovations might we uncover?
This is exactly what Teach to Reach is doing.
In June 2024, Teach to Reach 10 brought together 21,389 participants from across the health system – from community health workers to national policymakers.
This diverse group represents an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience that has often been overlooked in global health decision-making.
Bridge the gap between policy and practice
One of the most exciting aspects of Teach to Reach is how it bridges the gap between policy and practice.
Too often, there is a disconnect between those making decisions at the global level and those implementing programs on the ground.
Teach to Reach creates a direct line of communication, allowing frontline workers to influence policy and program design in real-time.
This approach not only leads to more effective interventions but also empowers health workers, increasing their engagement and motivation.
Scale knowledge transfer and translation efficiently
In global health, we are always looking for ways to scale solutions efficiently.
This scaling effect is particularly crucial in low-resource settings, where formal learning opportunities may be limited.
Teach to Reach applies this principle to peer learning.
Then there is speed.
The platform can disseminate best practices and local solutions much more rapidly than traditional top-down approaches.
There is also the “know-do” gap or the “applicability problem”.
Teach to Reach supports continuous learning by sharing experience, focused on how to get results, especially at the local community level.
Measuring impact and driving innovation
The Teach to Reach platform uses a comprehensive framework to track the value of participation for individuals and the benefits for partners.
But we do not stop there.
Teach to Reach is just one component in the Geneva Learning Foundation’s model to support new learning and leadership to drive change.
We then track and measure what participants do with the knowledge gained and the experiences shared.
We do this all the way to the time where improved health outcomes can be attributed to a discovery or significant learning made at Teach to Reach.
Moreover, Teach to Reach serves as an innovation hub, surfacing diverse ideas and solutions from the field.
For organizations looking to drive innovation in their global health programs, this platform offers a new path to creative problem-solving with those closest to the challenges.
A call to action for global health leaders
If you are a leader in the global health space, I urge you to consider partnering with Teach to Reach.
Here are 5 ways in which partners have found utility in Teach to Reach:
- Inform a strategy with ground-level insights.
- Expand reach across multiple countries and health system levels.
- Tap into a diverse pool of local solutions – and help augment and scale them.
- Demonstrate commitment to supporting locally-led, community-based positive change.
- Accelerate progress towards global health goals through collaborative learning.
In today’s interconnected world, our ability to solve global health challenges depends on our capacity to learn from one another and scale effective solutions quickly.
Teach to Reach is pioneering a new approach that harnesses the power of peer learning to do just that.
Investing in Teach to Reach can help unlock the full potential of our global health workforce and make significant strides towards a healthier, more equitable world.
The future of global health is collaborative.
Teach to Reach provides a way to turn the rhetoric of collaboration into practical action.

Aujourd’hui, à l’occasion de la Journée mondiale contre le paludisme, la Fondation Apprendre Genève est fière de se tenir aux côtés des travailleurs de la santé en première ligne dans la lutte contre cette maladie.
Le paludisme reste un problème de santé majeure, affectant de manière disproportionnée les communautés d’Afrique et d’Asie.
C’est pourquoi la lutte contre le paludisme sera au cœur de Teach to Reach 10, un événement phare qui permet à des milliers de professionnels de santé du monde entier de partager leurs expériences, leurs réussites et leurs défis.
Teach to Reach est une plateforme qui facilite l’apprentissage par les pairs afin de mener des actions locales sur des questions de santé urgentes.
Lors de Teach to Reach 10 le 21 juin 2024, nous nous concentrerons sur la menace urgente que représente le changement climatique pour la santé, en mettant particulièrement l’accent sur la façon dont l’évolution des conditions environnementales modifie le paysage du risque de paludisme et de la riposte à ce fléau.
Le leadership des professionnels de la santé est essentiel pour une vision intégrée de la lutte contre le paludisme par et pour les communautés locales
Comme le montre notre récent rapport « De la communauté à la planète: Professionnels de la santé sur le front du climat», les agents de santé du niveau périphérique sont déjà les témoins directs de la manière dont les changements climatiques affectent les schémas pathologiques et pèsent sur les systèmes de santé.
La hausse des températures, les phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes et l’évolution des précipitations créent des conditions idéales pour la prolifération des moustiques vecteurs du paludisme, exposant ainsi les communautés à des risques accrus.
Des acteurs comme Yapoulouce Bamba, de Guinée, ont observé cette tendance inquiétante : «La dégradation de l’environnement a créé davantage de lieux de reproduction pour les moustiques. Pendant la saison des pluies, on observe une augmentation exponentielle des populations de moustiques, ce qui accroît le nombre de cas de paludisme.»
De la gouvernance internationale à l’action locale : comment Teach to Reach peut contribuer à transformer la déclaration de Yaoundé en action locale
Lors de la conférence Teach to Reach 10, nous discuterons de la manière de transformer l’engagement des dirigeants africains dans la déclaration de Yaoundé en actions concrètes, menées localement pour accélérer la lutte contre le paludisme.
En rassemblant les acteurs de la santé pour partager des solutions locales et renforcer la résilience, nous soutenons l’appel de la déclaration en faveur de l’investissement dans la recherche et l’innovation, de la collaboration transfrontalière et de l’engagement des communautés en tant que partenaires dans la lutte contre le paludisme.
Teach to Reach incarne ainsi la vision de cette Déclaration, qui consiste à soutenir ceux qui sont en première ligne de la lutte contre le paludisme en leur apportant les connaissances, les outils et la solidarité dont ils ont besoin pour avoir un impact transformateur dans leurs communautés.
Nous avons besoin d’inventer de nouvelles façons de mener le changement
En cette Journée mondiale contre le paludisme, nous invitons tous ceux qui se sont engagés à mettre fin à cette maladie à se joindre à nous pour apprendre et écouter auprès des agents de santé de première ligne.
Leurs voix, leurs expériences et leur leadership sont essentiels pour stimuler l’action locale et la collaboration internationale nécessaires pour vaincre cette menace persistante dans un climat changeant.
Ensemble, nous pouvons trouver de nouvelles façons de mener le changement pour construire un avenir sans paludisme, pour tous.

Today, on World Malaria Day, the Geneva Learning Foundation is proud to stand with health workers on the frontlines of the fight against this deadly disease.
Malaria remains a critical global health challenge, disproportionately affecting communities in Africa and Asia.
That’s why we’re putting malaria at the heart of the agenda for Teach to Reach 10, our landmark event connecting tens of thousands of health workers worldwide to share their experiences, successes, and challenges.
Teach to Reach is a unique platform that enables health workers to learn from each other, contribute to global knowledge, and drive local action on pressing health issues.
At Teach to Reach 10 this June, we will be focusing on the urgent threat of climate change to health, with a special emphasis on how changing environmental conditions are altering the landscape of malaria risk and response.
Read Gavi’s article about our work: Global problems, local solutions: the health workers helping communities brace for climate change
Health worker leadership is critical to an integrated view of malaria response by and for local communities
As our recent report “On the frontline of climate change and health: A health worker eyewitness report” highlighted, health workers are already witnessing firsthand how climate shifts are affecting disease patterns and burdening health systems.
Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and changing rainfall patterns are creating ideal conditions for malaria-carrying mosquitoes to thrive, putting communities at greater risk.
Health workers like Yapoulouce Bamba from Guinea have observed this worrying trend: “The degradation of the environment has created more breeding grounds for mosquitoes. During the rainy season, there is a noticeable exponential increase in mosquito populations, which in turn raises the number of malaria cases.”
From global governance to local action: how Teach to Reach can contribute to turning the Yaoundé Declaration into local action
At Teach to Reach 10, we’ll be discussing how to turn the commitment of African leaders in the Yaoundé Declaration into locally-led action to accelerate action against malaria.
By bringing together health workers to share local solutions and build resilience, we are supporting the Declaration’s call for investment in research and innovation, cross-border collaboration, and engagement of communities as partners in the malaria fight.
Teach to Reach embodies the Declaration’s vision of supporting those at the forefront of the malaria fight with the knowledge, tools, and solidarity they need to drive transformative impact in their communities.
We need new ways to learn and lead
On this World Malaria Day, we invite all those committed to ending malaria to join us in listening to and learning from frontline health workers.
Their voices, experiences, and leadership are key to driving the local action and global collaboration needed to overcome this persistent threat in a changing climate.
New ways to learn and lead are vital so that we can build a healthier, malaria-free future for all.
