In order to foster dialogue among experts in specific sub-fields of maternal health, the Maternal Health Task Force has helped convene communities of practice around certain issues. According to Etienne Wenger, "Communities of practice exist to bring together individuals with interest and expertise in a given topic to exchange ideas and collectively improve their knowledge and understanding of it." To date, the MHTF has helped develop working groups on cesarean birth indicators, clean birth kits, maternal health supplies, and uterotonics. In each case, the MHTF has made presentations, meeting reports, and other documents available in the Library and through the pages for each community of practice. Each community of practice has taken a different approach to their specific topic but each brings together experts seeking to improve their research and practice through collaboration. |
