This is an English version of the Student Vote Education Resource that I developed for elementary and high school teachers for the 2010 Ontario municipal and school board elections.
Integration in Cumbria aims to improve health outcomes through closer collaboration between primary, community, and acute care services. Key steps have included forming a social enterprise to both commission and provide community services, giving clinicians leadership roles in localities, and devolving power to integrated care organizations. This approach has helped solve a historic health economy debt, improve quality scores, and establish new models of care like the "virtual community hospital" and integrated diabetes services. The integrated system also responded effectively to the 2009 Cockermouth floods.

National monitoring of water and sanitation in UgandaIRC
The document discusses how the Government of Uganda established a national monitoring system for water and sanitation. Key aspects included developing a set of "golden indicators" to track sector performance, establishing data collection processes and information flows between agencies, and conducting annual Joint Sector Reviews to analyze progress, identify challenges, and guide planning and budgeting decisions. The system provided Uganda with comprehensive and transparent monitoring of the entire service delivery chain from the national to community levels.
CSOs, MAPAS and SDAs: Different contexts divergent theories of changeIRC
The document discusses different approaches to monitoring water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services across various regions. It notes there are divergent theories of change reflected in different monitoring methods used in Africa, East Asia, Latin America, and South Asia due to varying regional contexts. The monitoring approaches range from in-depth analysis to light political tracking, with trade-offs around country relevance versus global consistency and participatory versus audit processes. Roles in WASH monitoring are identified for countries, which develop and act on their theories of change, versus global actors, which provide methods, analysis, and tracking of inputs and outcomes.
Master Gardener Volunteers in Ohio were trained to conduct tree surveys to inventory public trees in communities. Volunteers learned tree identification skills and how to use tools like a Biltmore stick and diameter tape to measure and collect data on trees. The volunteer-collected data was analyzed using i-Tree software, which calculated the environmental and economic values of the trees. This provided city leaders with information to make informed decisions about tree management and replacement while saving costs compared to hiring professionals. The project benefited both communities and volunteers through increased knowledge of urban forestry and civic engagement.

Presentation- Overview of STAR-Ghana Media WorkstreamLamisi Dabire
This document summarizes STAR-Ghana's media work from 2010-2014. It provided over $3.9 million in grants and capacity building to media organizations to strengthen their collaboration with civil society and advocate for greater transparency and accountability in governance. 21 media organizations received grants totaling $2 million to produce issue-based coverage across health, oil and gas, education, and other sectors. This support helped media organizations more effectively convey citizen voices and influence government actions. While progress was made, challenges remain like weak media laws and organizational structures that limit specialization and grant management. Overall, STAR-Ghana found that with proper support, media can engage in important advocacy while moving past sensationalism.
The document summarizes the evolution of rural financial services in Ghana over three phases:
1) Prior to 1990, the informal financial sector dominated due to lack of regulation and limited state interventions. IFAD introduced SCIMP to build confidence in formal banking.
2) From 1990-2000, RFSP upscaled SCIMP nationwide, achieving sustainability, innovation and increased rural bank numbers. Challenges included low farmer lending and contradicting subsidy approaches.
3) Post-2010, RAFIP continues RFSP's work while disengaging from credit lines and building capacity. Knowledge from failures in Cameroon and Niger informed expanding successful models to Nigeria.

The program aims to empower families to increase productivity by 1,000% within two years and improve lives in Ghana while also benefiting the environment.
Development Journalism in African ContextPirita Juppi
The document discusses development journalism in the African context. It defines development journalism as placing demands on journalists to help countries achieve development goals like modernization, democracy, and independence. However, development journalism is criticized for becoming too aligned with governments and neglecting its watchdog role. Moving forward, the document argues that development journalism should empower ordinary people, promote participatory democracy, and challenge dominant ideas through community-owned media.
The document describes various aspects of life in Ghana including social classes, life in villages and cities, the life of children in villages and cities, languages spoken, chieftaincy and inheritance practices, religions, and Andrea's PPP Africa organization which helps families grow out of poverty. Life differs between villages and cities - villages have close-knit communities where people know each other well and rely on farming, while cities have a focus on business. Children in villages and cities have distinct daily routines depending on their environments.

Water service in bosomtwe appiah effah-ae-e pptIRC
The document summarizes a study on the cost of rural and small town water service delivery in Ghana's Bosomtwe District. The study used a life cycle cost approach to determine the capital, operation and maintenance, and capital maintenance costs of providing water services through small town piped systems versus rural handpumps. The results showed that the capital expenditure and running costs for small towns were about twice and four times higher respectively than for rural water point systems. However, small towns provided a higher standard of water service. The conclusions recommended that district water plans incorporate full life cycle costs and asset replacement, and that the government increase funding to support post-construction maintenance and operations.

The life-cycle costs approach is a methodology for assessing and monitoring the costs of sustainable water, sanitation, and hygiene services. It involves estimating costs from initial construction through to repairs, replacements, and expansions over the entire life cycle. Adopting this approach requires considering all cost aspects to ensure appropriate and sustainable service levels. The approach has been tested in several countries, finding that most costs are currently borne by households with little support for maintenance. Using life-cycle cost analysis can reveal insights on cost-effectiveness and value for money to improve investments and ensure sustainable services.

It also outlines three ways self-supply can be supported: 1) through technical advisory services and guidelines, 2) by strengthening the private sector, and 3) with policies and budgets to aid households in construction and supply improvement. The document promotes a new book on self-supply and filling gaps in public water provision.
Self-supply refers to households taking responsibility for developing their own water sources through various methods like digging wells, collecting rainwater, or protecting springs. This document outlines the key reasons households pursue self-supply due to issues with public water systems like long wait times. It then describes common self-supply methods in Sub-Saharan Africa like family wells and rainwater harvesting. The document emphasizes that self-supply should be supported through technical advice, private sector development, and policies that help households improve their water sources over time.
This short document encourages the reader to take a second to think about how they can help transform billions of lives but provides no other context or details. It is unclear from the text alone what specific actions or causes the reader is being asked to consider to help transform lives at a global scale.
Webinar : Adapting your advocacy to COVID-19 health crisisIRC
The COVID-19 pandemic is forcing development programmes to rapidly readjust their advocacy strategy to support local or national governments in their emergency planning. The Watershed empowering citizens programme organised a webinar attended by over 60 participants on 15 April 2020, to discuss and learn about: ways to adapt advocacy approaches in time of COVID-19; practical examples of shifting activities at national and local levels; ways to reach your target audience while social distancing; ways to adapt your messaging, keeping Watershed priorities through the lens of COVID-19.
This report includes the webinar Powerpoint presentations and some recommendations based on the Q&A session. The titles and authors of the presentations are: "Why is strong advocacy essential during a crisis?" by Evita Rosenberg (IRC); "Watershed Bangladesh : adapting advocacy approaches during COVID 19 outbreak" by Ranjan Kumar Ghose (WaterAid Bangladesh); and "Adapting advocacy approaches in Kenya "by Patrick Mwanzia (Simavi Kenya).
Novel partnership between NWSC and Kabarole District to provide safe water to...IRC
Pius Mugabi of the Kabarole District Local Government, Martin Watsisi and Angela Huston of IRC and Denis Maramuzi, Area Manager of the National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC), Fort Portal, Kabarole worked together on preparing a presentation for the 20th AfWA International Congress and Exhibition in Uganda.
Their presentation focused on a new partnership between NWSC and Kabarole District to extend NWSC’s piped network to provide safe water to communities in the hard-to-reach Kabende sub county. This novel public-public partnership is part of the increasing trend of rural utilisation. NWSC is extending into more small towns and rural growth centres with a broadened mandate and through the SCAP100 Programme will reach 12,000 new villages during 2017-2020.

Watershed Mali : strengthening civil society for sustainable WASH-IWRM in MaliIRC
The political crisis and insecurity existing in Mali since 2012 has had a negative impact on the country’s water and sanitation sector. Normative frameworks are non-existent or unknown, polices and laws are not enforced, water quality is hardly monitored and budget commitments are unclear. The lack of knowledge about the human rights to water and sanitation has led to poor accountability, and civil society organisations (CSOs) lack capacity to advocate and lobby for better services.
Within the above context, the Watershed empowering citizens Mali country programme focuses on two main issues: (1) water quality and waste management and (2) universal access to sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services. So far the programme has been able to enhance the capacities, credibility and audience of water and sanitation CSOs, including the Alliance Citoyenne Pour l’Eau et l’Assainissement (ACEA-Mali). A multi-stakeholder forum has been established and coalitions of CSOs, local government and media have been strengthened, which can mobilise stakeholders, including Parliament.
Because there enough water and faecal sludge disposal is not seen as a problem in rural areas, there is little incentive to integrate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and water resources management (WRM). Watershed is trying to stimulate integration by developing a handbook and guideline in combination with collaboration with CSO networks and donor-funded programmes.
Issues emerging from the Watershed Mali programme include how CSOs can influence decision makers to increase national WASH budget allocations infragile states, how to harmonise the institutional and legal frameworks of the WASH and WRM sectors, how to encourage innovation.

WASH systems strengthening in the Central African RepublicIRC
Water for Good (WFG) works exclusively in the Central African Republic (CAR), a country facing extreme economic fragility. The road blocks set up by the non-state armed groups, which control nearly 80% of the territory, have a significant impact on the country's economy. WFG has been operating in the CAR since 2004, initially as a borehole drilling organisation, and shortly thereafter, as a handpump maintenance service provider. It has created a circuit rider approach for preventative maintenance and uses an electronic reporting system.
After joining Agenda for Change in 2017, WFG opted to adopt IRC's systems approach to go beyond their preventative maintenance programme and work towards universal, sustainable access. WFG opted to pilot a district-wide approach in Mambéré-Kadéi, while maintaining periodic preventative maintenance in other prefectures. In the pilot area, WFG focused on the following system blocking blocks: infrastructure, monitoring, finance, planning and institutions. At the same time it is helping to build up regional capacity for systems strengthening.
In conclusion, WFG believes it is possible to strengthen systems in fragile states, thanks to their organisation's long-term presence in CAR, their ability to plug short-term projects into the larger roadmap, and their ability to work with systems champions. The intention is not to build parallel systems, but to champion a roadmap that is both supported by all WASH stakeholders and adequately funded.

Finding the flow in fragile contexts : IWRM in MaliIRC
What has World Waternet learned by implementing an integrated water resources management (IWRM) approach in Mali? In the Blue Deal Dji Don project, World Waternet supports the Agence Nationale de Gestion des Stations d’Épuration du Mali (ANGESEM) to improve wastewater management. Presentation by Annette Rozendaal-Morón, World Waternet at the WASH Debate "Sustainable WASH service delivery and local WRM in fragile states: how far can you get?", in The Hague, the Netherlands on 20 November 2019.
This presentation by Ambrose Kibuuka is a part of IRC’s in-house “What’s for Lunch series”, It reviews progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for sanitation and hygiene, sector trends focusing on Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) and sanitation marketing, and how rich nations achieved universal access to sanitation. It also briefly looks at WASH linkages with climate change, stunting, nutrition, and gender and social inclusion. The presentation concludes that unsafely managed sanitation, especially in rural areas, remains a challenge in developing countries as a result of population growth, climate change and the lack of funding for on-site sanitation and faecal sludge removal. Systems strengthening (in particular access to financing) and strong public commitment are required to achieve universal access to sanitation by 2030. The presentation includes a list of 21 references.
Social accountability : civil society and the human rights to water and sanit...IRC
The Watershed programme supports civil society organisations (CSOs) both on normative content (and claiming their rights if not yet met) as well as supporting CSOs to engage in the procedural part/principles of human rights to water and sanitation. The social accountability approach used by Watershed is based on the principles of access to information, non-discrimination, accountability and participation. The role of CSOs includes holding government to account for their obligation to ensure that everyone’s human rights are fulfilled, protected and respected. For this Watershed uses the Social Accountability Model developed by Water Witness International. Conclusions and reflection are provided on how this model has been used in Kenya and Bangladesh.

The end of the poldermodel? : the role of dissent in Dutch international wate...IRC
The Dutch NGO Both Ends is involved in two Strategic Partnerships for Dialogue & Dissent funded by the Netherlands government. One of them, the Fair Green & Global (FGG) Alliance, support capacity building of civil society organisations (CSOs) to effectively voice their views and hold policymakers and companies to account. The role of dissent is seen to contribute towards equality, equity and justice. The lessons learned by the FGG Alliance to address the concerns of Indonesian CSOs regarding land reclamations in Jakarta Bay Masterplan will be taken up to support CSO involvement in the Manila Bay Sustainable Development Masterplan in the Philippines. The challenges and opportunities for CSO involvement in Dutch-funded interventions in developing countries are briefly outlined.

Voice for Change Partnership : roles of CSOs in achieving SDG6IRC
The Voice for Change Partnership (V4CP) programme is a capacity development programme for civil society organizations (CSOs) in six countries across four areas including water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). VCP is a partnership between DGIS, SNV, IFPRI (International Food Policy and Research Institute) and CSOs. The capacity development activities focus on evidence creation and dissemination, and evidence-based advocacy. In Kenya, the V4CP WASH component supports CSO advocacy for improved stakeholder participation and coordination, increased budget allocation, and influencing policy review and development. CSOs used evidence from GIS mapping and the water testing to convince county governments to take action to improve sanitation. The data collected was also used to advocate for increased sanitation investment participatory budgeting. The presentation concludes with challenges and lessons learnt from the Kenya the V4CP WASH component.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

18. Conclusion
WASHCost is beginning to address the knowledge gap in terms of
the availability of life-cycle cost information for providing WASH
services in Ghana.
The planning process does not systematically address the full
range of post-construction costs to ensure the smooth and
indefinite provision of services as the District Water and
Sanitation Plans focus almost exclusively on constructing new
schemes and occasionally rehabilitating existing schemes.
Sustainable WASH service delivery requires strong linkages
between policy, planning and budgeting, but in Ghana the linkage
is weak at district level.
WASHCost is developing a decision support tool.
