Peer Activity 5 - How Collaborative Leadership and Other Strategies Improve Communications in Resource-Limited Settings. (300 minutes) Forum
In this activity, you will be given a set of short case scenarios where collaboration and workforce development are necessary to solve a health issue in resource-limited settings.
Step 1. Study
Study these three hypothetical case scenarios below. Select one that matches your interest.

Step 2. Analyze
You have been assigned to coordinate a round table discussion with community partners and global constituencies to address your selected issue. This will be part of a collaboration and workforce development for resource-limited settings event that is being sponsored by global and regional health authorities. For this, you need to outline a strategy to communicate the available information and then to organize a discussion about potential strategies to address the problem.
Step 3. Respond
The partners have agreed to participate in the round table discussion for three hours. They also asked to be briefed about the health issue ahead of time to be prepared for discussing potential solutions during the event. Therefore, you need to:
- Prepare an agenda for the round table discussion: Keep collaborative leadership practices in mind when designing your agenda. You want to encourage stakeholders to take leading roles and provide their views and ideas to address the issue, but you also need to keep the discussion focused on collaboration and workforce development. The agenda should reflect your knowledge about communication and collaboration strategies.
- Plan the elaboration of information materials about the problem to be addressed: For this, your team will need a prepare a 300-650 word communication plan that discusses the following:
- Description of the type of materials to be used and specific communication strategies to be employed.
- Rationale that articulates the value of applying communication and collaborative leadership strategies (both new and existing) to improve collaboration and partnerships about the selected scenario.
- Implications not only to the target beneficiaries but also in the professional practice.
Note: Bear in mind that your diverse audience includes community partners with little health background and global constituencies with little base knowledge about the extent of the specific health issue in the community.
