Global Health Corps partnered with Rippleworks to develop the key product requirements for a community engagement tool

Global Health Corps (GHC) invests in diverse leaders to build and strengthen health systems through a highly immersive 13-month fellowship program. Every year they select the top 2 percent of global applicants, providing 50-100 fellows with stipends, placements with a global health partner in Africa, and wrap-around support that helps fellows develop their leadership and communication skills. To date, GHC has supported over 1,000 global fellows, who together address systems challenges and gaps in the broader global health sector. 

GHC’s top priority was creating better outcomes for their alumni by making it easier to interact with each other using an online tool. GHC partnered with Rippleworks to develop the key product requirements for a community engagement tool.

Keeping our global community of leaders connected across borders and boundaries is key to building trust, fostering collaboration, and deepening their impact on health systems.

Our partnership with Rippleworks allowed us to ensure we have the technology and solutions to do that more effectively.
