The Challenge Initiative: A Comprehensive Reproductive Health Learning Platform
TCI University (TCI-U) is a comprehensive learning platform developed by The Challenge Initiative. It is designed to scale up urban reproductive health solutions by providing practical guidance and resources for implementing proven family planning approaches. TCI-U offers toolkits that deliver highly synthesized information and tools, which can be customized to meet the specific needs of city programs. The toolkits cover three program areas: Services and Supply, Demand Generation, and Advocacy. They also include TCI Essentials, which provides an overview of the Initiative's "business unusual" model for scaling up and sustaining family planning programs. Additionally, TCI-U offers regional toolkits for more contextualized information and tools, including a recent toolkit focused on Adolescent and Youth Sexual and Reproductive Health (AYSRH), which aims to increase young people's access to sexual and reproductive health services in urban environments.
