A showcase of Social Innovations in Health: The SIHI African Hubs Experience

The SIHI Showcase of Social Innovations are events by the SIHI Network to promote social innovations identified by the various SIHI hubs. The event also seeks to deepen understanding and cultivate knowledge and best practices to support social innovations in health.

Each event will also incorporate themes such as regional contexts. Social innovators will be identified by participating SIHI hubs and the innovators or the hub, in case the innovators are unable to participate, will present about the social innovation and its relation to the theme. The following are suggested information to be included in the presentation:

• Basic information about the social innovation in health (name, area of operations, contact information, etc.)
• Short history and current status of the innovation
• Challenges and how these were handled
• Best practices identified
• Goals, plans for development, and potential points to further support the social innovation in health

Alternatively, the social innovator may also be assigned to a panel to discuss certain topics related to the theme of the showcase.
