Proposal for measuring population-based outcomes at the community level; as basis for community-based understanding and ownership of local outcomes; as platform to support an ecology of social innovation efforts, led by local residents and organizations; as basis for contracting with external partners on initiatives to improve community wellbeing (government agencies, social entrepreneurs, foundations, researchers, policy-makers, etc.)
Proposal: Launch a community-based action-learning lab to accelerate innovation and application of systematic approaches to civic stewardship.
Approach: Applies systematic methods in the civic context that are now used in successful organizations to increase local ownership for ambitious goals, and to foster innovation and collaboration for achieving them.
Opportunity: Spur progress on our most persistent and costly socio-economic and environmental problems by cultivating a national network of neighborhood-based civic stewardship initiatives. A critical mass of neighborhood efforts in 300 U.S. cities can save hundreds of billions in annual government costs, while fostering “collective efficacy” and wellbeing in communities nationwide.
Why now: Recent developments in measures (spurred by the proliferation of “public data”), social media (e.g., neighborhood websites), and monetization (e.g., social impact bonds) are “disruptive innovations” that create ripe opportunities for quantum change.

GIS for Equity & Social Justice Best PracticesGreg Babinski
Where a person was born, or lives is a key success factor for individuals and families to thrive throughout their lives. Analysis of the equity and social justice (ESJ) impact of public agency policies, projects, and programs is an emerging practice of many government agencies. A geographic information system (GIS) is a powerful tool to analyze social justice issues and help government agencies apply an equity lens to every aspect of their overall administration of public resources.
Throughout history, and even in democracies, government agency policies and resource allocations have been unduly influenced by special interests, wealth, power, and privilege. Even in an environment where equal resources are allocated to each segment of society, many unserved and underserved segments of society are so disadvantaged that ‘equal’ resources do not provide ‘equitable’ opportunity to thrive throughout their lives. Race in the United States privileges whiteness to the detriment of people of color. A key concept of social justice is that any person born into society, no matter where they were born or live, will have an equitable opportunity to achieve successful life outcomes and to thrive.
Location based demographic data is a key indicator of disadvantaged segments of a community when viewed with an ESJ lens. Geographic analysis and geospatial technology are key tools throughout the equity and social justice process lifecycle. Geographic information science and technology can benefit interdisciplinary teams pursuing ESJ approaches. GIS can be used by GIS Users, GIS Toolmakers, GIS Scientists, and ESJ practitioners from other disciplines.
The GIS aspect of the ESJ lifecycle includes exploratory issue analysis, community feedback, pro-equity programs analysis, management monitoring and stakeholder awareness, program performance metrics, and effectiveness analysis. GIS analysis can produce actionable information to help decision makers decide equitable investments, upstream where the need is greatest.
The purpose of this article is to outline how GIS is effective for ESJ practices. Geospatial topics covered include spatial data management, data sources, geospatial analysis, cartography, data visualization, and management dashboards. This resource is best suited for GIS Users, GIS Toolmakers, GIS Scientists, and ESJ practitioners from other disciplines.
Informal workers face substantial risks and vulnerabilities due to insecurity surrounding their employment status and
lack of control of the conditions of their employment. In addition, informal workers have limited access to affordable and
appropriate health care for themselves and their families, and they may not seek care if they have insecure legal status, or due to the potential expense or loss of income. The combination of high vulnerabilities and inadequate social protections (including insufficient access to affordable health services) results in high incidences of injury, illness, susceptibility to chronic diseases and poverty.

This is expanded content related to the 2013 Webinar: Systematic Civic Stewardship: An Organizing Model for Leading Change in the Social Sector | Monday, June 3, 2013
Cities are becoming the most prominent context for social change in the world today, and they offer exciting opportunities for participative governance. A model of “systematic civic stewardship” frames the city as community-based, action-learning system. Leaders play key roles in neighborhood teams focused on local challenges (graduation rates, health outcomes, etc.), while learning and working with peers via city-wide communities of practice. We have much to learn about learning systems in any context—understanding how they work in communities and cities draws on organization experience and provokes new insights.
Bobby Milstein, PhD, MPH, director of the ReThink Health and visiting scientist at MIT Sloan School of Management, gave the October 9 Grand Rounds on the Future of Public Health at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health. Dr. Milstein's talk, "Beyond Reform and Rebound: Frontiers for Rethinking and Redirecting Health System Performance," was part of this year's Grand Rounds series focusing on the decline in the health status of the U.S. population compared to peer nations, as well as the opportunities for public health leadership that are needed to close this gap. While at the Mailman School, Dr. Milstein also met with a group of doctoral students and Prof. Ronald Bayer to discuss approaches to effectively improve health systems in the United States.

ustainability has been an
often mentioned goal of
businesses, nonprofits and
governments in the past decade, yet
measuring the degree to which an
organization is being sustainable or
pursuing sustainable growth can be
difficult.
John Elkington strove to measure
sustainability during the mid-1990s
by encompassing a new framework
to measure performance in
corporate America.1 This accounting
framework, called the triple
bottom line (TBL), went beyond the
traditional measures of profits, return
on investment, and shareholder
value to include environmental and
social dimensions. By focusing on
comprehensive investment results—
that is, with respect to performance
along the interrelated dimensions
of profits, people and the planet—
triple bottom line reporting can
be an important tool to support
sustainability goals.
Interest in triple bottom line
accounting has been growing across
for-profit, nonprofit and government
sectors. Many businesses and
nonprofit organizations have adopted
the TBL sustainability framework to
evaluate their performance, and a
similar approach has gained currency
with governments at the federal, state
and local levels.
This article reviews the TBL
concept, explains how it can be useful
for businesses, policy-makers and
economic development practitioners
and highlights some current
examples of putting the TBL into
practice.
The Triple Bottom Line Defined
The TBL is an accounting framework
that incorporates three dimensions of
performance: social, environmental
and financial. This differs from
traditional reporting frameworks
as it includes ecological (or
environmental) and social measures
that can be difficult to assign
appropriate means of measurement.
The TBL dimensions are also
commonly called the three Ps: people,
planet and profits. We will refer to
these as the 3Ps.
Well before Elkington introduced
the sustainability concept as “triple
bottom line,” environmentalists
wrestled with measures of, and
frameworks for, sustainability.
Academic disciplines organized
around sustainability have multiplied
over the last 30 years. People inside
and outside academia who have
studied and practiced sustainability
would agree with the general
definition of Andrew Savitz for
TBL. The TBL “captures the essence
of sustainability by measuring the
impact of an organization’s activities
on the world ... including both
its profitability and shareholder
values and its social, human and
environmental capital.”2
The trick isn’t defining TBL. The
trick is measuring it.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
Civic Stewardship Measurement Initiative -- draft slides for discussion
1. Proposal to build a community measurement system that promotes systematic civic stewardship for breakthrough results
Systematic Civic Stewardship
Problem: Over the last 40 years, many U.S. cities have not made progress on critical outcomes (e.g., health, income, and education), despite advances in policy, technology, and economic growth
Opportunity: Recent advances in “open data,” participatory civic engagement, social media, and performance-based funding instruments provide an unprecedented opportunity to spur civic stewardship for breakthrough results
William M. Snyder / CivicStewardship.com / April 2014
Proposal: Create a prototype of a “community measurement system” that guides and motivates collaborative learning and innovation, which can be replicated and scaled city-wide
DRAFT for discussion
2. Many Boston neighborhoods experience persistently high rates of poverty, crime, disease, and drop-outs (source: James Jennings, Tufts University, 2009)
“While many of the…community change endeavors of the past 20 years can identify improved outcomes for some residents…, these investments have not aggregated to improvements in neighborhood-wide well-being or produced population-level changes in, for example, infant mortality rates, graduation rates, or income.”
-- Anne Kubisch, Aspen Institute Roundtable on Community Change, Voices from the Field III, 2010 (17)

In Boston, as in cities nationwide, rates of poverty, disease & drop-outs have changed little, despite decades of advances in technologies, policies & economic growth¹
Conventional community change efforts improve targeted conditions, but have limited influence on overall results. Community measures are essential to systematic efforts for achieving population-level goals.
¹Boston neighborhoods have made gains in some areas (such as new affordable housing units), but many still struggle, despite decades of active community- change efforts. Nationwide, results in many civic outcomes have changed little since 1970: poverty 15%, drop-outs 20%; health costs now 16% of GDP versus 7%; crime unchanged but incarceration is 400% higher—all this after trillions spent in means-tested programs, and even as the U.S. GDP tripled.
“[W]e cannot rely on saints to achieve systemic change in the thousands of low-income communities in America that need help; we need new policies, practices , and products to create a next-generation system that empowers everyday people to achieve extraordinary results.”
-- David Erikson et al., Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, What Works for America’s Communities, 2012 (377)
3. “It’s a cliché of management that if you don’t measure something, you can’t manage it. But it’s true. And it applies as much to communities as it does to multinational corporations.”
Measures matter for innovation, collective motivation, and monetization; all of which are crucial for achieving breakthrough results in communities as well as organizations
And it matters who leads local measurement initiatives, because important community data cannot be accessed, collected, or accurately interpreted without active participation and ownership by local residents and organization stakeholders
Fast Company article on emerging community measurement initiatives, 2012

Oded Grajev, leader of Brazil’s Sustainable Cities movement
“Our participatory democracy initiative gets public officials to commit to civic goals and measurable results—it works because we have mobilized citizens who use indicators to hold them accountable.”
“To learn, there must be clear benchmarks and data linked to the desired outcome. Focusing on outcomes and impact will be a paradigm shift not only for community development, but for much of American social policy.”
Nicolas Retsinas, Harvard Business School, Investing in What Works for America’s Communities, 2012

¹“Goal Theory” is based on decades of research in social-psychology, and it is one of the most highly validated and widely applied theories in organization science ²Measurable goals also motivate by providing a basis for material rewards and funding opportunities—see “monetization” on next page
“Self-managed teams” in organizations rely on weekly data for solving problems and finding opportunities to increase performance Research on personal change shows the power of valid feedback to motivate sustained improvement efforts (dieting, sports, studies, work, etc.) “Collective impact” efforts in the civic context combine clear goals and rigorous measures to help diverse stakeholders achieve results (e.g., Strive Network initiatives coalesce players for education outcomes)
Illustration: Using measures for participative management Fat City Cycles organized teams (for tacking, welding, etc.) and establish weekly goals, team-based measures, and employee-led problem-solving meetings. Six months later, the cost per bike had dropped from $160 to $90 (break-even was $132). This made the company profitable enough to increase pay by 30%, well above the industry standard; while dramatically improving overall wellbeing.²
A configuration of key factors enables behavioral change:
•Clear, compelling goals
•Valid measures of progress
•Perceived ability to succeed¹
6. 6
Paradigm shift in philanthropic and governmental funding strategies: Invest in organizations and social entrepreneurs via “pay for success” contracts¹
•The global market for “impact investing” is expected to increase from ~$40b to over $400b in the next decade²
•There is a fast-growing pool of “pay-for success” funds in the U.S., now at about $50m and growing exponentially³
•UK government lists “desired outcome is clear and measurable” as a primary consideration for social impact investments⁴
²Source: “Impact investing: From headlines to fundamentals,” Stanford Social Innovation Review blog (August 2013)
How social impact bonds (SIBs) work: Investors provide upfront cash to providers for measurable, targeted outcomes (e.g., reduced recidivism); investors are repaid by government agencies who save money when outcomes are achieved (e.g., lower prison costs)⁴
³Kennedy School Panel on SIBs (November 2013); U.S. Government created a $300m fund (2014) to encourage pay-for-success” impact investments (source)
⁴Source: UK Government site on SIBs; success factors include: “measured easily and accurately,” “directly linked to an intervention,” and relatively “cashable”
¹This shift involves investor-provider contracts in which funding amounts are aligned with an estimated economic value of outcomes, not only provider costs
7. Technical Interventions such as programs, policies, technologies, and media

A logic model for community wellbeing highlights the influence of local attitudes and practices—as well as neighborhood conditions—on a range of civic outcomes¹
Attitudes and practices of residents and organizations affect interventions & outcomes
Civic Outcomes (health, energy, safety, education, etc.)
Neighborhood conditions mediate the interactions of interventions, practices & outcomes
Federal policies provide free healthcare for poor children
Millions of eligible families do not enroll for benefits that enable effective, timely treatments
City police department implements a “community policing” program
In many communities, long-standing mutual distrust undermines collaboration
State tax policies fund household energy-efficiency investments
Most households do not participate, despite near-term financial benefits
New parents program fosters child development during crucial 0-3 phase
Many parents with much to gain do not attend due to cultural and logistical barriers
Technical interventions cannot achieve breakthrough results without shifts in attitudes and practices as well as enduring neighborhood conditions
State passes law to limit illegal access to high-powered automatic weapons
A majority of local sheriffs (with their communities’ support) refuse to enforce laws
¹In fields such as health, education, public safety, and energy sustainability, researchers and practitioners have developed system-wide models that show the interdependency of socio-behavioral, neighborhood, organizational, and policy-related factors; see for example, a theory of change for early childhood development.
8. Socio-Behavioral Drivers
•Attitudes & practices that influence targeted outcomes (e.g., diet and exercise habits for health outcomes; household & business energy practices)
•Practices of organizations as well as individuals, groups & sub-communities
•ETC.
Outcomes (e.g., health)
•Sub-elements (e.g., diabetes, asthma, cardio-vascular, cancer, etc.)
•Current neighborhood results versus benchmarks and goals
•Opportunities and priorities
•ETC.
8
Public sources provide data on many interventions and outcomes, but collecting valid, actionable data on socio-behavioral drivers depends on participative surveys led by community residents and organizations¹
¹In fact, due to confidentiality restrictions, even access to neighborhood-level aggregations of “public data” may require residents’ permission, for example, “opt-in” requirements regarding data on household energy use.
Neighborhood Conditions (context, barriers & assets)
•Sub-areas (blocks, corners, etc.) and their characteristics
•Distinctive/anchor organizations
•Communities of various types (e.g., of practice, interest, faith, families, friends, race, ethnicity, etc.
•Notable people, places, and events (current and past)
•Geographic boundary definition and variations
•Population demographics
•Access to healthy food, living-wage jobs, etc.
•Built environment (parks, buildings, transport, “walkability,” etc.)
•“Social determinants” such as social cohesion, financial stress, etc.
Interventions
•Programs, policies, services, product offerings, awareness campaigns, organizing efforts, etc. (current and past)
•What’s working or not and why/why not
•External exemplars (successes and failures)
•ETC.
9. Youth
•Create support network for youth
•Identify and support youth at risk
•Increase funding for youth jobs via advocacy and “impact investing” sources
•Training for skills and job readiness
•Career counseling/job placement Employers
•Business people meet youth before hiring
•Create support network for businesses
•Identify “youth ready” employers Local Conditions
•Create list of entry jobs available
•Strengthen community-school linkages
Youth Employability
•“Employability” indicators include education, career plans, risk factors, personal development, etc. Employer Readiness
•“Youth ready & willing” factors (ability to train, flexibility, etc.) Local Conditions
•Neighborhood context, including job market (number & type of jobs available)
Youth Employment
•Percentage of youth with jobs
•Pay levels (as age-skill appropriate)
•Quality of jobs (e.g., career vs. temp.; “hard skills”/marketable; meaningful) Employer Success
•Improved results
•Increased social impact
•Increased support from community Community Wellbeing
•Reduced poverty
•Business growth
•Reduced violence
•Reduced incarceration
•Increased civic engagement

10. •Geographically defined populations, corresponding to identifiable neighborhoods, of about of 5,000 to 15,000 people (about the size of a census tract or zip code)
•Measures include: Civic outcomes (health, education, etc.), Drivers (local attitudes, behavioral norms, neighborhood conditions), and Interventions (policies & programs, etc.)
•Different types of data and methods, including qualitative and quantitative, using an array of sources and tools—including public data bases, surveys, interviews, documented observations, online polling, and participative problem-solving meetings
•Led by local, multi-stakeholder groups that include residents and local organizations across sectors, representing a diversity of backgrounds, interests, and perspectives; and involving external experts and influencers

11. Residents
•Passion for improved results
•Interest & aptitude for collecting & using civic data
•Local legitimacy and strong, diverse social network
Experts (various types)
•Measurement systems and methods
•Issue-specific expertise (health, etc.) re: drivers, etc.
•Technology applications for measurement systems
•Collaborative structures at community & city levels
Local Organizations
•Commitment for improved results
•Staff capacity to support measurement efforts

Sponsors and Influencers
•Issue-specific institutions (e.g., health center or city health agency), policy-makers, funder, etc.
•All sectors—profit, non-profit, and public
•Local, state, and national levels
Coordinating team
•An external group of experts and sponsors works with community stakeholders and other participants to organize, coach, and support the development of a community measurement system
•A city-wide community of practice fosters peer-to-peer learning, institutional support, and scaling
For a pilot initiative, a core team (with residents, local organization staff, and a coordinator) may include 3-5 funded FTE, plus additional volunteers and loaned staff

17. Informs design and evaluation of programs, policies, products, and services
•Improve offerings, avoid unintended consequences, enhance evaluations Promotes formation of new businesses and social enterprises
•Enhanced market data helps local entrepreneurs discover and act on community opportunities Attracts “impact investors”
•Very few non-profits today have measures that meet the requirements of “pay for success” contracts Accelerates diffusion of ideas and practices
•The combination of resident stories and rigorous logic-model data creates a compelling case to peers and sponsors Increases community identity, belonging, and civic capacity
•Participation in measurement processes builds collective consciousness and commitment to action
¹Discretionary expenditures by government agencies (local, state, and federal) are approximately $10,000 per resident for social-sector services such as health, education, welfare, and public safety (not including Social Security); about $100M for a typical neighborhood of 10,000 people. In many communities, enhanced civic stewardship, based on a robust measurement system, could likely improve results by 10%; a $10m value for a relatively small investment; (not to mention potential for increasing neighborhood revenues by using data to increase the success of local businesses and resident employment and income levels).
Measurement systems can pay for themselves—by orders of magnitude—by increasing the impact of (or reducing the demand for) current discretionary social sector expenditures.¹ They can also create considerable value by attracting investments for new enterprises.²
²Leaders in the area of “impact investing” argue that in the next decade, new instruments could channel a trillion dollars to results-driven social-sector enterprises (source /source). Recently Goldman Sachs created a $250m social impact fund, and Morgan Stanley is planning to raise $10b over 5 years for an “investing with impact platform” (source); foundations now provide over $350m/year in performance-based loans to non-profit organizations (source, p. 13).
