IHI partnered with PSI to facilitate strategic gatherings of the Self-Care Trailblazer Group (SCTG) and associated outputs and global goods.

​

In 2023, IHI facilitated Evidence and Learning Working Group (ELWG) quarterly meetings to foster global dialogue, organized the Third Annual SCTG Summit with 125 members to advance self-care initiatives, and supported the Self-Care Learning and Discovery Series through abstract review, promotional material design, and summary production.

​

In 2024, IHI hosted the Fourth Annual Members Summit, bringing together 100 stakeholders to further drive progress in the self-care field.

IHI collaborated with PSI's Delivering Innovation in Self-Care (DISC) initiative to design and develop training materials for contraception self-injection, focusing on empathy and fear management. This collaborative effort ensured that the materials met technical requirements and resonated empathetically with the target audience, thereby enhancing the overall effectiveness and acceptance of self-injection practices within healthcare systems.

In collaboration with the Self-Care Trailblazer Group (SCTG), IHI documented the SCTG's learning journey in a visually engaging format, providing comprehensive design and data visualization support. This included capturing significant milestones achieved during the implementation of their 2021-2025 strategy, particularly through partnerships with national self-care network leads. These efforts aimed at advocating for the adoption of WHO guidelines into national self-care frameworks and integrating these guidelines into national health systems.

In collaboration with the Evidence and Learning Working Group of the Self-Care Trailblazer Group, IHI co-created a practical Sexual and Reproductive Health Self-Care Measurement Tool. This tool serves as a vital resource for policymakers and implementers, enabling them to effectively monitor and evaluate their self-care programs. To ensure its development addressed critical needs, IHI facilitated an expert working group meeting with over 70 experts specializing in self-care measurement.
