Simone Parrish joined CCP in August 2011, taking charge of the Knowledge for Health (K4Health) Project's web products portfolio. These products—including POPLINE, Photoshare, K4Health Toolkits, the Global Health eLearning Center, the website for Family Planning: A Global Handbook for Providers, the Global Health: Science and Practice Journal, the mHealth Evidence database, and more—have been built at different times, on many different platforms. Simone's task on this second 5-year iteration of K4Health is to preserve and improve the quality and clarity of user experience on each product, while bringing them together into a more cohesive whole— what we're calling the "Global Repository." This approach aims to better meet the knowledge needs of people working in family planning and reproductive health worldwide. Simone serves as the translator between the frontend/user perspective and the back-end/developer perspective, and she is the partner liaison with K4Health core partner IntraHealth International.
