The new Thrive Networks website is up: www.thrivenetworks.org.
It's a whole new approach to our work. Check out the impact tab/publications. We are moving away from counting outputs, and instead are examining impact, defined as permanent and meaningful change. For example, our neonatal health program treats 55,000 babies a year, which is fine. That's an output. Better is to look for the effects on neonatal mortality and morbidity. How many lived who otherwise would have died? How many were saved from brain damage caused by severe jaundice? What is the mortality rate in the hospital before and after the intervention? These are the questions that we are asking and answering.
