Ecosystem Learning Sharing Workshop

On 18 May, 2023 BEN organized an Ecosystem Learning Sharing Workshop to share their findings with partners and stakeholders on an ecosystem mapping survey of ongoing or planned strategies or initiatives carried out by relevant ECCD ecosystems actors across government and non-government agencies that overlap, complement or is significant for supporting implementation, sustainability or scaling of the BSA project. As part of their exercise, they reviewed high level policy and research documents, conducted 11 KIIs amongst key personnel in DGHS, BSF, UNICEF, The World Bank, Porticus, BRAC, Health Reporters Forum, etc. and collected expert opinions from five key actors in the field. This milestone event, participated by over 40 ecosystem partners, and inaugurated by the Project Director Ms. Ferdousi Begum, unearthed numerous opportunities for collaboration, perceived challenges for collaboration and recommendations for improvement and ways forward.
