TCI University (TCI-U) is The Challenge Initiative’s key mechanism
for scaling up urban reproductive health solutions. Its toolkits
deliver highly synthesized and practical how-to guidance and
resources for implementing proven family planning approaches.
Coaching and communities of practice provide opportunities for more
hands-on technical support and peer-to-peer learning and exchange.
These components are designed to meet the learning needs of
distinct audiences at different stages of the Initiative’s model –
from expression of interest to program design to implementation.
This approach to learning is both comprehensive and simple. It
provides standardized information and tools which can be customized
and tailored to meet city program needs. TCI-U toolkits include a
global one organized into three program areas: Services and Supply
Demand Generation and Advocacy. It also includes TCI Essentials for
learning about the Initiative's "business unusual" model for
scaling up and sustaining family planning programs. Four regional
or hub toolkits (Francophone West Africa Nigeria East Africa and
India) are also available for more contextualized information and
tools. TCI-U recently added a toolkit focused on Adolescent and
Youth Sexual and Reproductive Health (AYSRH). It includes
evidence-based interventions for increasing young people’s access
to sexual and reproductive health services and information in urban
environments.
