Building global health funding opportunities
Sustainable funding in global health is often a rallying cry among practitioners.

What’s the story with content marketing?
An age old tale Storytelling is a powerful tool, as well as one of the oldest forms of communication. The history of the written word dates to the Neolithic Age some 12,000 years ago as society was transitioning from hunter-gather to agricultural, and the need to record commerce transactions among farmers arose. When an organization is selling its mission, marketing it through a story, whether through a description, a picture, a graphic or a blog…
