During an Ebola outbreak, timely and accurate information can help people protect themselves, seek care and understand the response taking place in their communities.

In Rwampara, the U.S. Department of State-funded EpiC Project supported a guided visit to the Ebola Treatment Center for 22 journalists. The visit gave media professionals a closer look at case management, infection prevention and control measures and outbreak response operations.
By seeing this work firsthand, journalists are better prepared to report accurately, address rumors and share information that can strengthen trust between communities and response teams.

📸 On site in Rwampara, media professionals gather testimonials and produce content for their radio stations and television channels.

Protecting the people who test for Ebola is essential to stopping the outbreak.

Through STRIDES, funded by the U.S. Department of State, FHI 360 is helping laboratory workers strengthen infection prevention and control practices while expanding access to safe, reliable Ebola testing.

Every sample laboratory workers handle could carry the virus. Hands-on training in personal protective equipment, safe specimen handling, transport and waste management helps protect these frontline workers and the communities counting on them.
When laboratory workers can do their jobs safely, cases can be detected faster and the response can reach people sooner.

📸 FHI 360 teams provide laboratory workers with hands-on personal protective equipment training.

“Sometimes we overlook small lesions or lesions covered by other organs,” says radiologist Ho Tuan Kiet, from Viet Nam. “AI detects and marks these areas on the X-ray film screen.”

Pairing AI with chest X-rays to identify people with TB — that's just one of the many digital innovations we’re advancing.

Research in action. Partnership in practice. 📚✨

We’re excited to partner with Brink and the What Works Hub in Global Education, with support from the Gates Foundation, to strengthen the “middle tier” of education systems — the officials who connect national policies with what actually happens in schools.

The middle tier translates big reforms into day-to-day practice. When they are supported, classrooms are stronger. And yet, not enough is known about the best ways to support these educators.

Through implementation research with government partners, we’re examining how Nigeria’s teacher coaching system — including who is responsible for what, when support happens and how it reaches schools — can be better aligned to translate policy into more consistent, quality teaching.

By generating practical insights on what works, we’re helping turn policy into progress for students.

“It’s a good tool that allows us to help each other at school,” says Felicie, a school director in Madagascar. “The teachers often consult me, and we’ve used the chatbot to check and get the right answers.” ✅

The tool is an AI-powered pedagogical chatbot that is supporting educators to strengthen their instructional leadership. It was created and piloted by FHI 360 with participants from its FIANTSO project, which is funded by the Hempel Foundation.

One key feature? The tool can understand and respond to questions in Malagasy and a Malagasy dialect, making it practical and accessible. 🏫
