A look at how Riseup Labs partnered with UNICEF and DSHE to build a scalable digital training solution that bridges the gap between national health policy and field-level implementation.
Adolescents (aged 10–19) make up one-fifth of Bangladesh’s entire population. While the country has established strong policy frameworks such as the National Adolescent Health Strategy (2013–2020) and the National Plan of Action for Nutrition (2016–2025), translating these national guidelines into grassroots action remains a massive challenge.
There was a critical need to build capacity among thousands of local educators and health workers nationwide. Traditional offline training methods are often slow, difficult to scale, and lack standardized content delivery, making it difficult for stakeholders to understand, monitor, and implement nutrition-related programs effectively in their communities.
Training frontline workers across the country using traditional, in-person methods is slow and difficult to scale. To truly impact adolescent nutrition, we needed a unified digital solution that could reach community leaders directly, no matter where they were located.
Public Health Official Pain Point
To solve this, a national-level online training program was developed as a scalable digital training solution, delivered through Muktopaath, which is Bangladesh’s national e-learning platform. The course was designed to be fully digital, self-paced, and accessible nationwide.
The course uses a structured and engaging blended digital learning approach, which combines:
The training was specifically designed for community leaders and frontline workers.
The 2-hour and 21-minute course features lesson-based navigation, integrated quizzes, and issues a certificate upon completion. It is divided into 6 modules, 15 lessons, a final 10-minute quiz, and a feedback system.
