Community One Health Early Reporting Co-construction Workshop: Bridging Community Insights with Technical Expertise in Stung Treng (June 23rd, 24th, and 26th, 2026) 🇰🇭

iDE Innovation Lab / iDE Cambodia, Wildlife Conservation Society, and CIRAD, with the strategic support of PREACTs-AfriCam-Cambodia, AFD - Agence Française de Développement, and Bcoming, have successfully concluded our 3-day co-construction workshop series! 🎉

📌 WORKSHOP MILESTONES:

🔹 TECHNICAL VALIDATION & INSTITUTIONAL ALIGNMENT
We successfully reconciled community-validated “visual signals” with official statutory case definitions, establishing the institutional accountability and horizontal notification channels necessary for a robust One Health response that starts at the community level.

🔹 PRELIMINARY PILOT PLAN CO-CREATION
In our final joint validation session, all stakeholders came together to review consolidated findings and co-create ideas for the pilot plan. This plan now serves as the operational roadmap for a sustainable, community-partnered One Health early-reporting system in the Thalaborivath district, Stung Treng province.

We are deeply honored to have worked alongside the dedicated community leaders, community members, District Deputy Governor, and technical leads from the health, agriculture, and environment sectors to make this vision a possible reality. 🤝🚀

[𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄]

🌍 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝘂 𝗦𝗲́𝗻𝗲́𝗴𝗮𝗹: 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗿 𝗹'𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗿𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻
𝟭𝟭𝟱𝟬 𝗸𝗺, 𝟮 𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗲́𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀... 🇸🇳

Notre équipe vient de terminer une phase de recherche intensive dans les régions de Kaffrine et Tambacounda ! Aux côtés de World Vision Sénégal, nous avons utilisé le Design Centré sur l'Humain (HCD) pour co-créer des solutions d'assainissement adaptés aux réalités locales.

💡 𝗖𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀:
✦ La dignité avant tout: Au Sénégal, la superstructure en maçonnerie est la priorité. Les familles privilégient l'intimité et la pudeur, surtout dans les concessions où une seule latrine peut servir jusqu'à 20 personnes.
✦ La préférence pour la fosse déportée: Pour éviter les odeurs et les nuisibles, les communautés préfèrent largement les fosses indirectes. Comme l'a dit un habitant: "Nous ne voulons pas voir directement ce qu'il y a à l'intérieur."
✦ Précision culturelle: De l'orientation Nord-Sud (pour respecter la direction de la Mecque) au coût élevé des produits d'hygiène jetables, chaque détail compte pour créer un marché durable.

🚀 𝗟'𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲 - 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗲 𝗹'𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀:
✦ La "Pochette de séchage solaire": Une pochette discrète et ventilée permettant aux femmes de sécher leurs serviettes réutilisables en toute sécurité et intimité.
✦ Économie circulaire: Fabrication de dalles à partir de plastique recyclé grâce à la technologie "Precious Plastic".
✦ "Latrine Badabada": Un nom local pour une "Latrine pour la vie" — durable, sûre et symbole de statut social.
✦ L'or de la terre: Collaboration avec les autorités pour transformer les boues de vidange en engrais sécurisé (STBV).

📊 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗲́𝘁𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘀:
Nous passons maintenant à la phase d'analyse et de synthèse. Nous allons affiner notre «𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝗩𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲», élaborer des modèles de financement avec Vision Fund et préparer notre atelier de validation.

Un immense merci à l'équipe locale de World Vision et aux communautés pour leur accueil et leur collaboration incroyable !

Restez connectés pour découvrir notre stratégie finale ! 🛠️✨

🌍 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲: 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
𝟭,𝟭𝟱𝟬 𝗸𝗺, 𝟮 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿... 🇸🇳

Our team has just wrapped up an intensive research phase across Kaffrine and Tambacounda! Alongside World Vision Senegal, we used 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻-𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 (𝗛𝗖𝗗) to co-create sanitation solutions that truly work for the people who use them.

💡 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱:
✦ Dignity is non-negotiable: In Senegal, masonry superstructures are the priority. Families value privacy and modesty above all—especially in households where one latrine serves up to 20 people.
✦ The "Indirect Pit" Preference: To avoid odors and pests, communities overwhelmingly prefer offset pits. As one resident put it: "We don't want to see what is inside."
✦ Cultural Precision: From North-South toilet orientation (to respect Mecca) to the high cost of disposable hygiene products, every detail matters in creating a sustainable market.

🚀 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 - 𝗥𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝘀:
✦ The "Solar Drying Pouch": A discreet, UV-ventilated pouch allowing women to dry reusable pads safely and privately.
✦ Circular Economy: Exploring floor tiles made from recycled plastic via "Precious Plastic" technology.
✦ "Latrine Badabada": A musical, local name for a "Latrine for Life"—durable, safe, and a symbol of status.
✦ Waste to "Gold": Working with local authorities on f***l sludge treatment (STBV) to turn waste into safe fertilizer.

📊 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁?
We are now moving into the Analysis & Synthesis phase. We’ll be refining our "𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝗩𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁," building financing models with Vision Fund, and preparing our Design Validation Workshop.

A huge thank you to the local World Vision team and the incredible communities for their warm welcome and partnership!

Stay tuned for the strategy reveal! 🛠️✨

A strategic partnership between iDE Innovation Lab and the University of Puthisastra (UP) is bringing a pioneering Human-Centered Design (HCD) course to life—with a strong focus on public health.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿?

Complex health challenges—from improving Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) to strengthening nutrition and healthcare delivery—can’t be solved by clinical data alone. Human-Centered Design helps bridge the gap between what is happening and why it’s happening. By understanding the “why,” we can create solutions that are not only effective but truly sustainable.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁?

• 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰: Supporting students to go beyond traditional practice and become human-centered innovators

• 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆-𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻: Designing solutions grounded in the lived experiences of the communities they serve

• 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲-𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆: Building a workforce for Cambodia’s health sector that is both empathetic and evidence-based

By combining iDE Innovation Lab’s field expertise in HCD with UP’s academic, clinical, and research excellence, this partnership is fostering a bold, critical, and deeply human-centered culture of health innovation within the university.

Join us as we work toward a healthier, more resilient Cambodia 🤝🌱

🌟 Thank you for joining our latest Creative Pills session! 🌟

We had a rigorous and insightful session diving into "Blended Finance 101" with Michel Dauguet, the Impact Investment Strategy Lead at iDE Canada. Michel did a fantastic job demystifying how mixing different types of capital—commercial, catalytic, and grant—can bridge the "missing middle" financing gap for SMEs to create sustainable development impact.

Through concrete case studies from Cambodia, including the Development Impact Bond and the Revolving Blended Finance Facility, we explored how these structures work in practice. We also got a glimpse of the upcoming SHE Investment Fund, specifically its pilot for a Cashew Nut Facility aimed at supporting women-led enterprises.

As promised, here are the resources from the session to help spark further innovation in your projects:

What drives women to transition from the garment factory floor to entrepreneurship?

For the past two months, the iDE Innovation Lab team and iDE Bangladesh’s Oporajita 2 team have been collaborating remotely to answer that very question. Recently, we moved from screens to the field, joining forces in person across Savar and Gazipur, Bangladesh.

By meeting with women entrepreneurs, their families, and relevant stakeholders, we’ve been able to:
- 𝗠𝗮𝗽 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀: Identifying what pushes women toward (or pulls them away from) business ownership.
- 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘇𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗮𝗽𝘀: Understanding the rationale behind "gendered" business types.
- 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝘆𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘀: Developing new models for success, with a specific focus on green business opportunities.

Shoutout to the dedicated team making this happen: Phearak Maksay, Fatima Shehata, Mayaz Kabir, Maisha Ahmed, Abidul Huque, Sara Hanan Chowdhury, Ahadujjaman Bipul and Anupoma Roy.

Building a market-based sanitation strategy in Malawi

We’re continuing our long-term partnership with World Vision International on market-based sanitation, with our latest trip taking us to Malawi, with World Vision Malawi

During our fieldwork, our goal was to understand the local policies, supply chains, and specific hurdles that determine whether a sanitation business thrives or stalls, while also looking at the demand side to understand the needs of households. 𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗼-𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿.

𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗜 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 '𝗴𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻'?

This surprising question from a mother at Chansor Health Center, Siem Reap province, highlights how easily social media myths can influence parents. During our session, we encountered one of the question on "𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲" 𝗺𝘆𝘁𝗵, allowing our experts to set the record straight: 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗸’𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗮 𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 6 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲. Beyond the trusted source of knowledge by the government like Health Center staff, the parents and caregivers need trusted sources of information on their palm as well.

On the morning of January 15th, we addressed these myths head-on at our sub-national event in Soutr Nikom district. We were honored to have the participation of the Technical Expert from the Operational District (OD), the District Council for Women and Children (DCWC), the Health Center Manager, and nurses.

This SBCC initiative is co-led the iDE Innovation Lab in collaboration with Helen Keller Intl - Cambodia. Together, we engaged approximately 50 participants across our morning session and afternoon workshop, bridging the gap between digital trends and life-saving facts.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗕𝗖𝗖 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵: We don’t just share info; we drive behavior change. By combining behavioral insights with multi-channel engagement (𝗶𝗻-𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽𝘀 + 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 + 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 "𝗠𝗼𝗺’𝘀 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗸" 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺), we make exclusive breastfeeding the easiest and most trusted choice for parents and other caregivers.

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁: This SBCC is part of the Transforming Lives Through Nutrition (TLTN) initiative, a collaboration between iDE Cambodia and Helen Keller Intl, funded by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDSC). Our mission is to support exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months and continued breastfeeding up to two years and beyond.
