The Challenge Initiative - TCI

We’re excited to share that Jose “Oying” Rimon II has been recognized as an Outstanding Author by the Journal of Public Health and Emergency for his article on The Challenge Initiative (TCI).

The article, co-authored with Kojo Lokko and Jessica Mirano, highlights leadership lessons from TCI’s platform model and how cities are scaling family planning programs with sustainable impact.

Rimon helped conceive the TCI model with the Gates Foundation in 2016 and served as TCI’s founding Executive Director.
