IntraHealth International partnered with ideas42 to improve postpartum contraceptive uptake in eastern Uganda through a behavioral design process. Our team developed a behaviorally informed intervention package that focuses on postpartum women, their male partners, and health workers. One component of the intervention is an interactive game, “Together We Decide,” which engages male partners of postpartum women. During this workshop, audience members will engage with game content by playing an abbreviated session of the game. During game play, the behavioral rationale behind some of the game cards and features will be explained to help participants think about its relevance for their own settings and programs. The workshop will conclude with a chance for audience reflection and questions and answers.

This session will feature the 2022 Economic Impact Report, which was developed as a partnership between the North Carolina Global Health Alliance and RTI International. The report showcases the importance, depth, breadth and influence of our global health sector’s work, and effectively makes the case for greater investment in global health and highlights the social impact of the global health sector in North Carolina as well as key examples of global health outcomes from our global health organizations’ programs, and examples of effective innovations that benefit both our state and the global community.
