SHORT-TERM WORK EXPERIENCE
Uganda Health Marketing Group/HC3 Uganda and Femina Hip/HC3 Tanzania
(September, 2016) – Applied the PROGRES (the Program for Organizational Growth,
Resilience and Sustainability) with two African NGOs, specializing in Social and
Behavior Change Communications. Each application revealed both strong and weak
areas of institutional performance gaps, as well as those domains contributing to strong
and weak sustainability factors.
Khulna Shishu Hospital (KSH) Bangladesh (August, 2016) - The purpose of this trip
was to deliver an interactive workshop to hospital leaders and staff, to develop a
business case for KSH hospital. The workshop, entitled “Development of a Long-term
Sustainability Plan and Marketing Strategy for KSH” ran for 4.5 days, and kicked off with
a well-attended inauguration. The team identified several potential new business
opportunities, but careful risk assessment indicated that they best bet was the
establishment of an NICU to advance the hospital’s mission by allowing staff to
intervene the minute a newborn’s life is at risk. The investment required to launch the
NICU is US$160,485. This seed investment will allow KSH/NICU to generate a profit of
US$280,488 during its first 3 years of operation.
NIFFA/HC3 Nigeria (July, 2016) – Conducted a follow-up application of the
organizational assessment conducted in 2014 in the NIFAA HQ office, using the
PROGRES_SBCC assessment instrument – a more sensitive and comprehensive
instrument than the original assessment tool used in 2014. The findings were used to
develop a performance improvement plan that, once implemented, will position NIFAA
to receive a $250k grant from USAID.
Society for Family Health (SFH)/HC3 Nigeria (July, 2016) - The purpose of this trip
was to field test the Consulting for Results course with the Society for Family Health.
The course is designed to: 1) help experienced SBCC professionals to combine
fundamental SBCC practices and proven consulting skills to help client institutions and
organizations achieve important results; and 2) capture the balance between: the
potential impact of SBCC practices on service costs and coverage that needs to be
understood by the service delivery entity, and the interpersonal aspects of consulting
that must become part of the SBCC consultant’s repertoire. The course features a user-
friendly modeling tool that can be used as a budgeting instrument, as well as a means
for modeling potential outcomes based on distinct SBCC interventions.
First Global Health Communications Summit Ethiopia (February, 2016) –
Participated on technical review committee, reviewing over 60 abstracts; designed and
ran the COMM Talks, a TED-style series of presentation on Health Communications
Innovations and their impact on reducing a particular health challenge; presented in two

scoring instrument; and 2) using an on-line resource mobilization curriculum to monitor
and write grant proposals, conduct fundraising events, and draft compelling business
plans.

instrument to the JHUCCP Legacy Organization, YCCP. A total of 8 domains were

Finance. Areas where improvement is required included: Program Management,
Communications, and Human Resources. Other areas showed a need for more critical
improvements and these were: Governance, Resource Mobilization, and M&E and
Knowledge Management. A thorough action plan was drafted and is being implemented.

exchange platform.
TCDC/HC3 Tanzania (August, 2015) – Returned to Dar es Salaam to help TCDC refine
their business plan. After further review during this trip, it was determined that the “best
bet” was to design a capacity building program that would introduce to service delivery
organizations the principals, practices, tools and benefits of SBCC through a case study
approach, in an effort to stimulate demand for TCDC’s services. A risk assessment of
these combined ventures resulted positively, suggesting promise as both a means of
generating greater integration of SBCC into health and development programs and
services, and as a vehicle for generating revenue and continued technical assistance
requests for TCDC.

Dominican Republic/CESDEM (September, 2011) – Worked with CESDEM executive
team to review their business plan to establish a host of M&E services to donor
recipients as a form of protecting and justifying their investments in local organizations.
Since time had passed since this original business opportunity presented, we revisited
the mission and vision of CESDEM to ensure that any new business opportunity
identified was aligned with the mission and vision. We then constructed a value chain
for their primary service: field-based surveys. From our review of the Value Chain, we
learned that CESDEM indeed has some viable secondary services that could be
converted into new business opportunities. We then ran each of these business
opportunities through a risk analysis that allowed for a quantitative assessment of each
idea along the following variables: Client Demand, Ease of Entry, Risk of Failure, and
the Threat of Competition. Each opportunity yielded a score, indicating that with the
greatest chance of success, as well as that with a lesser chance of success. The
business opportunity that received the highest score for potential success was the
creation of a donor grantee performance index. The group then brainstormed specific
criteria that might be included in the performance index. A preliminary list of indicators
includes: The management of funds in accordance with programming; The
management of staff; The achievement of targets; Quality control of execution of
contract; Quality control of reports; and Donor and client relations. The CESDEM team
is adjusting their business plan to reflect this new opportunity.

financial reports; Describe their organization’s value chain; Distinguish where on the
value chain there are costs, revenue, and value-add in the form of secondary products
