The Challenge Initiatives Approach to City engagement – Coaching case study
REFNo: SS645ES
This study is meant to explore the successes, challenges and innovations of The Challenge Initiative’s (TCI) coaching model
Specific objectives
1. Document the intensity and focus of TCI coaching to-date, including which high-impact approaches governments most commonly request coaching for, how often, and what their impact has been.
2. Explore how local governments and service providers perceive the TCI coaching model, including, whether they believe it has been beneficial, and if so, how.
3. Understand if TCI’s coaching has led to system strengthening and improvements in the healthcare system both related to family planning and AYSRH service delivery, but also beyond. Additionally, document which system strengthening elements of coaching are most notable to TCI beneficiaries.
4. Document the ways in which TCI’s coaching has worked well and, perhaps, not worked as planned. Use this information to develop recommendations for how TCI can strengthen its coaching model.
5. Understand how the TCI coaching model can be sustained by TCI supported geographies even after a city ‘graduates’ from TCI (i.e., achieves program success and certain milestones, indicating the city no longer needs TCI’s support)
