    What’s in it for me? Benefits of the Nigeria Immunization Collaborative
    Jul 16 2024
    # What are the benefits of the Immunization Collaborative? https://www.learning.foundation/nigeria ## Participants highlight learning from peers, developing critical thinking skills, and receiving feedback as top reasons to join Four immediate benefits of participating in the rigorous day-by-day exercise: 1. Gain practical skills 2. Learn from your peers 3. Receive feedback 4. Develop critical thinking skills Participants share their reasons for choosing specific benefits: - Usman Mamatukuru on receiving feedback: "In getting feedback, you know that his experience is it on the right track. And if it is on the right track, another colleague will add another value or will make a correction so that he can adjust and correct his experience based on the previous experience he has." - Anonymous participant on developing critical thinking skills: "By the time when you get to experience other people, it develops your critical thinking and you know that okay, this level that you are as a person or as a professional, there is always room for improvement and you can actually develop your critical thinking skills." The collaborative offers long-term career impact, real-world solutions, and an investment in professional growth and the health of Nigerian children.

    Practical example of Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Getting ready for the Immunization Collaborative
    Jul 16 2024
    # Practical example of Root Cause Analysis https://www.learning.foundation/nigeria ## Asking “why” five times: Uncovering the real causes of recurring malaria in children Using a practical example of a child repeatedly treated for malaria, the Collaborative demonstrates the root cause analysis approach. Instead of settling for quick fixes, participants are encouraged to ask “why” five times to uncover the underlying issues: 1. Why does this child keep getting malaria? 2. Why are so many children in your village getting malaria? 3. Why are there so many mosquitoes near your homes? 4. Why is there stagnant water around the village? 5. Why are the drainage systems blocked and broken? “Once you’ve asked why five times, what you find is very different from where you started out, regardless of how much or how little you know about malaria and the context of that particular community.” This showcases how the Collaborative will approach immunization challenges during the peer learning exercise.
