| IRS990/Desc | 0 | Amplio (formerly Literacy Bridge) is a U.S.-based nonprofit organization committed to sharing knowledge with the world's hardest-to-reach communities, so that people in developing countries have the power to transform their lives. Our program accomplishments in 2018 include:CARE Pathways ProgramFunded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the CARE Pathways program in Ghana came to a close in November 2018. Amplios CARE Pathways partnership began in 2015 as one-year project using Talking Books to provide access to information and empower low-literate women farmers in 65 Village Saving and Loan Associations (VSLAs) to improve food security and nutrition for their families in Ghanas Upper East Region. In 2016, the project was extended and it expanded to reach 145 VSLA groups in Garu and 55 VSLAs in Lambussie, in the Upper West Region, for a total of 200 groups approximately 2,000 direct beneficiaries. Talking Book content was updated quarterly with messaging about soybean and ground nut cultivation, market links, nutrition, and gender issues. In the close-out survey, respondents said Talking Books helped reinforce the Pathways training and lessons and also offered new knowledge, with a focus on gender. Some of the most cited messages were about growing soybeans and ground nuts to earn income and improve soil fertility, nutrition during pregnancy, and shared decision making and household chores. UNICEF Ghanas Communication for Development ProgramAmplios partnership with UNICEF Ghana began with a pilot project in 2013 and has gone through several contract renewals and program expansions. In 2018, UNICEFs Communication for Development program used Talking Books in three districts in the Upper West and Northern regions, reaching 56 communities in Jirapa, 21 in Tolon, and 18 in Karaga. Talking Book content was updated quarterly, addressing four sectors: Health, Education, Child Protection, and WASH. UNICEFs Talking Book program model combines household listening with community dialogues. On average, participating households listened to Talking Books three hours per week and played messages two-to-four times. The community dialogues helped reinforce Talking Book knowledge, providing a safe space for men, women, and youth members to discuss challenges and barriers to practicing, adopting, and maintaining healthy behaviors and develop locally-appropriate solutions to overcome limiting factors to behavior change. Additionally, in 2018, Amplio, UNICEF Ghana, Literacy Bridge Ghana, and Ghana Health Services worked together on a new initiative that will use Talking Books to support community health nurses through Ghanas Community-based Health Planning and Services program.MEDAs Greater Rural Opportunities for Women (GROW) projectFunded by Global Affairs Canada, MEDAs Greater Rural Opportunities for Women (GROW) project empowered over 23,000 women farmers to the Upper West region of Ghana to improve their household food security and incomes by growing, selling and using soy. Talking Book devices were distributed to 1,016 Lead Farmers, each of whom provided agronomic information for a group of women farmers in their village. The Lead Farmer was often the only source of information about how to plant, grow and harvest crops for these women. The use of Talking Books strengthened GROWs technical outreach and allowed the women to access the information at a convenient time, as well as share information with their families. MEDA also successfully used Talking Books to rapidly deploy messages to educate farmers about how to deal with a fall armyworm infestation, helping to prevent crop destruction. When the GROW program came to a close in December 2018, the close-out survey showed Talking Books were a key source of information across GROW communities for topics covered, including agriculture practices, health and nutrition, financial literacy, market chains, and gender roles. GROW farmers said the Talking Book gave them access to knowledge to gr |
