This document summarizes emerging trends in social justice philanthropy in Egypt based on interviews with philanthropic institutions and NGOs. It finds that while individual charity is strong in Egypt, rooted in religious traditions, the concept of "social justice" is not clearly defined and philanthropic activities rarely use this label. Philanthropic institutions are still experimenting with how to structure support, what types of organizations or programs to fund, and how to operate effectively within Egypt's legal environment. The document explores definitions of social justice in Islamic teachings and Egyptian society and proposes a working definition. It also examines how Egyptians prioritize charitable giving and the potential for philanthropic institutions to help address root causes of social issues.

6 Money Laundering Cycle (p1-3) by JasonJason Wong
1) The document discusses the typical three stage process of money laundering: placement, layering, and integration. Placement involves injecting illicit cash into the financial system, layering involves moving funds around to disguise the source, and integration reunited the laundered money to appear legitimate.
2) A common placement method is comingling illicit cash with legitimate business funds, while layering may involve moving money globally and using complex financial transactions. Integration is often achieved through high value property or item deals.
3) Trade-based money laundering, a complex method, involves misrepresenting trade prices through over- or under-invoicing to legitimize funds across international borders. It is difficult to detect but
The document provides three tips for making effective presentations:
1. Don't start by creating a PowerPoint file - instead, outline your thoughts on paper first to focus on content over aesthetics.
2. Create a cohesive "story" by starting with background, objectives, the main content, and a conclusion to guide the audience's perspective.
3. Make an impact by focusing on the most important messages and not overloading the audience with information to ensure the key points are remembered.
This innovation plan aims to increase awareness and improve behaviors around nutrition in one chiefdom in Sierra Leone. It will promote eating locally grown foods to complement dietary guidelines. Key activities include community meetings, radio programs, drama performances, and training farmers and mothers as nutrition champions. The plan seeks to strengthen coordination between existing nutrition structures and assess status. Target groups are women and children. Governance will ensure stakeholder participation and transparent management. Results will be evaluated through case studies and disseminated nationally and regionally to advocate for scaling up nutrition. The SUN network can support implementation through advocacy, monitoring, and analyzing nutrition policies.
How is India doing on the global nutrition targets?POSHAN
The document analyzes India's progress towards global nutrition targets. It shows that between 2006-2015, India has seen declines in childhood stunting, anemia in women, and low birth weight rates according to national survey data, though some targets remain unmet. Progress varied by state, with some seeing bigger reductions in malnutrition rates than others. Most states also saw increases in exclusive breastfeeding rates over this period.
Civil society plays a pivotal role in scaling up nutrition efforts through SUN Civil Society Alliances (CSAs). CSAs unite civil society groups to advocate and act on nutrition, coordinate with governments, and hold them accountable. They contribute expertise to strengthen policies, programs, and plans. However, over half of CSAs' funding from the SUN Multi-Partner Trust Fund is ending, jeopardizing investments and momentum. Civil society brings many benefits, including speaking with one voice, raising nutrition's profile, enriching policies, highlighting gender needs, building local capacity, and promoting long-term, sustainable efforts. With continued funding, CSAs can sustain progress and ensure no one is left behind in global efforts to end malnutrition.
