SBC in Community Delivery Platforms

UNICEF SBC
About this episode

What if healthcare systems weren't just centralized services but dynamic partnerships rooted in trust, relevance, and equity? 

That’s the driving vision behind Community Delivery Platforms. In this episode we talk about collaborations among governments, local communities, UNICEF, and partner organizations to make essential health and nutrition services accessible to every mother, child, and household, no matter where they live. 

Join host Qali Id as we unpack the strategies, struggles, and successes of community delivery platforms, with insights from:

  • Afrika Mukaneto, SBC Specialist, UNICEF Regional Office for South Asia
  • Waqas Shafi, SBC Specialist, UNICEF Pakistan
  • Bridget Job Johnson, Chief of SBC, UNICEF Bangladesh
