How did funding cuts affect Geneva's International NGOs? Read our op-ed: https://redasadki.me/2026/05/01/what-is-the-future-of-international-geneva-insights-from-the-cagi-report/
Half of 108 Geneva NGOs surveyed by CAGI lost revenue last year.
Nearly half expect the constraints to last three to five years.
One in four does not have three months of reserves.
This is structural, not temporary.
Over 90% want access to shared professional services.
75% want better networking and partnership facilitation.
62% want pooled resources and shared infrastructure.
In Nigeria, we connected 4,300 health workers across all states in two weeks, at the cost of 1.5 traditional workshops.
Seven times more likely to report improvements, at roughly 90% lower cost.
Geneva NGOs cannot afford to keep working the same way while the funding model changes under them.

The Geneva Learning Foundation (TGLF) is pleased to launch the first peer learning course by and for health workers, Malaria: Turning the Tide. https://redasadki.me/2026/05/03/world-malaria-day-what-frontline-health-workers-are-saying-about-malaria-and-why-it-matters/
This article tells the story of the live launch event on 23 April 2026, two days ahead of World Malaria Day.
A public health worker in Ghana noticed the mosquitoes changed their schedule. They now bite during the day. The bed net assumes the risk falls inside the hours a person spends in bed. That assumption may need a refresh.
More than 1,000 health workers across 68 countries shared what they see on the frontline. The global mortality target for 2025 was 4.6 per 100,000 people at risk. The actual rate is three times higher.
These are not anecdotes. They are a thousand accounts, gathered systematically and peer reviewed.

Do you face a challenge at work that will not go away?
What if someone, somewhere, has already solved it?
What if you could find that person, ask them how they did it, and try it in your own context next week?
This is what The Geneva Learning Foundation offers.
Join us for a live online session to help you find what will help you most:
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86517960688
Not lectures.
Not textbooks.
Courses where you learn by doing, alongside colleagues from all over the world.
You bring a real challenge from your work.
You think it through with peers in dozens of countries.
You leave with something you can use: a plan, a referral pathway, a thirty-day action, a new way of talking to the community.
Here is a colleague who has done it, a consultant working across multiple countries in global health:
"The single most transformative thing this gave me is a conviction I carry into every field assignment. No challenge is too large to be solved. Someone, somewhere, has already faced it. The question is whether I am humble enough to look, listen, and learn from them."
Our courses are open access.
Register now.
Bring the challenge you are stuck on.
We will show you which course is best for you, how to join, and how to get through it without it becoming another thing on your list.
You will also meet people already doing it.
Alumni who have succeeded.
TGLF Ambassadors who are selfless community leaders.
Newcomers starting this month.
That mix is the network you will be working inside.

The Geneva Learning Foundation is pleased to announce the new peer learning course:
Newborn care foundations: practical actions for newborn survival
https://go.learning.foundation/tglf/c/32031
Simple actions, done correctly, can save newborn baby lives.
The fetal monitor has no battery.
The oxytocin ampoule is the last one in the cabinet.
The nearest hospital is two hours away on a broken road.
In that moment, the textbook will not save the mother or her baby.
The hands of the health worker in the room will.
A health worker who can feel whether a uterus has contracted will detect hemorrhage faster than one waiting for a monitor.
A nurse who recognizes the WHO danger signs of possible serious bacterial infection in a young infant can act before sepsis becomes fatal.
A midwife who places a small baby skin to skin against the mother can prevent a death.
This course is text based and open access.
There are no videos to download, no lectures, and no live sessions to attend.
You focus on what you can do now in your own facility, and share what works with colleagues in other countries.
It works on any phone, on any signal, at your own pace.
Enroll, and invite one colleague to join you, because the skills stay in your hands longer when you practice together.

TGLF Founder Reda Sadki is speaking at Global AI Day in Geneva on 6 May 2026. Learn more: https://swissaiacademy.org/globalaiday
Reda's topic? AI for Health, building technology that puts people first.
In health, the stakes are not abstract.
When we get health wrong, people die.
Those who most need the benefits of AI are the least likely to receive them.
Access alone will not close that gap.
What turns access into capability is connection between practitioners.
Peer learning networks let health workers adapt AI to local realities.
An AI can spot a disease cluster.
It does not know which day is market day, or who the community trusts.
The human health worker knows.
Working together, they make health work where it matters most.
The future is only possible when we are better connected with each other.
This conviction is the foundation of our AI4Health programme.

280,000 babies die in their first month of life in Nigeria every year.
Most of these deaths can be prevented.
The hands that can prevent them are already in every state and every LGA.
Community health workers, CHEWs, nurses, midwives, doctors, and clinical officers carry this work every day.
The Geneva Learning Foundation is opening the first peer learning course on newborn care.
Learn more and enroll now: https://go.learning.foundation/tglf/c/32031
The course teaches four things you can use the same week you finish.
How to see danger in a newborn early.
How to act fast on heavy bleeding after birth.
How to keep every baby warm, fed, and steady.
How to talk with a worried family so they say yes to referral.
Then you take three actions in your facility.
You learn from the experience of fellow health workers.
There is wisdom we all carry in Nigeria: nobody walks alone.
Take this course with one colleague who carries this work with you.

What's in this week's brand-new TGLF Scholar Newsletter? New ways to boost your career and grow as a leader.
Eight courses are open at The Geneva Learning Foundation this week.
Five of them did not exist two months ago.
Menopause.
The privatization of health care.
Newborn care.
Gender-based violence in emergencies.
One Health.
Each one is a problem most health workers were never formally trained for.
Each one is built on the experience of frontline colleagues who have lived it.
On 14 May, we walk through every open course, step by step, and show how to enroll without it becoming another thing on your list.
You bring the challenge you are stuck on at work.
You leave knowing which course is built for it, and with the name of one colleague already working on the same problem.
You will find the exclusive invitation in the newsletter.

What's new with malaria at the World Health Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland?
Take a step back.
A District Medical Officer in your country closed her register last night and wrote down what she saw this rainy season.
Stockouts.
A father walking past the public clinic to a private drug shop.
A bed net used to dry cassava.
A vaccine arriving in a village that had already buried two children.
She is one of more than a thousand sub-national malaria staff from across Africa who wrote down what they are seeing.
The Geneva Learning Foundation gathered their accounts into a single report, in collaboration with RBM Partnership to End Malaria.
Malaria: Turning the tide is the first insights report grounded in the real-world experiences of local actors.
Follow this link to get the report: https://doi.org/10.59350/t604g-66n28
The report does not tell Ministers what to do.
It tells you what your own workforce already knows.
About private providers carrying half the caseload.
About data the system collects but does not use.
About community readiness for the next generation of tools, including vaccines and gene drive.
This week you are deciding how to spend the next strategic plan.
The evidence your workforce has gathered is in this report, in their own words.
Read it before you sign.

What surprised us when we listened to the experiences of more than 1,000 health workers fighting malaria?
Their contributions became Malaria: Turning the Tide, the first peer-generated evidence base on malaria aligned with WHO normative guidance.
This post is a short selection of the contributions that surprised us most: working cases from named districts and named countries that read like natural experiments in malaria control.
See the first comment for links to the full report and articles.
