About Us

THE LEARNING4IMPACT STORY - HOW WE STARTED

Learning4impact is a knowledge partnership between USAID/India and Swasti-The Health Catalyst that operates in the crucial space of health. Swasti provides thought leadership and technical support to USAID India Health Office  for review of current programs, to track trends in the health landscape and plan for future investments such that it maximizes positive health impact. The project synthesises health sector learnings to generate and share insights and evidence to identify gaps, suggest solutions and accelerate the impact and value of partner interventions.

HOW DO WE DO THIS?

Leveraging our expertise in the domain of health, Learning4impact analyses complex and fragmented data that is publicly available and distils actionable insights. We use learnings to design new ways to scale and expand impact of USAID programs; contribute to policy discussions with national and state governments; meaningfully engage public private partnerships; and promote cross-learning between partners for more effective implementation. The L4i approach uses human-centered, multifunctional, intersectional and systems-thinking lenses to place health in the larger context of human well-being.
