The document discusses a partnership approach called Integrated Area Planning (IAP) that was developed to facilitate inclusive and sustainable planning in rural Irish communities.

The document outlines the 10 steps of the IAP process and notes challenges such as the need for resources, facilitation, power redistribution, and new communication and decision-making structures to support more collaborative rural planning.

HACT LVSC presentation 12 Dec 2012

lvscsteve

HACT is a housing association organization founded in 1960 that aims to help its members tackle challenges like welfare reform and worklessness. The document discusses HACT's work on these issues, including a report they commissioned on housing providers' approaches to tackling worklessness. It found that most providers offer services to help residents find work, but need to improve impact measurement and links to mainstream welfare programs. To better address these challenges, the document recommends housing providers target services more effectively, assess impact consistently, engage more with mainstream provision, and prepare for welfare reform changes.

This document provides lessons on developing an STP (Sustainability and Transformation Plan) and ACS (Accountable Care System) through place-based integration of the NHS and local government.

The document proposes a framework for working well together with shared leadership, commitment to shared visions and plans, governance structures for place-based working, and shared accountability for agreed plans. Practical actions include agreeing shared financial and delivery models, metrics, and contractual forms while pooling resources and incentives.

Matt Bell

This document proposes a new collaborative funding model for Plymouth's voluntary and community sector in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It suggests building collaborative networks and infrastructure focused on issues like care, BAME communities, food poverty, and childcare. Funding would flow to networks and collaborations rather than individual organizations. Complete financial transparency and open decision-making would be prioritized. Initial testing would focus on issues like PPE access. The goals are to streamline funding, support emergent groups, and ensure all communities' needs are met through locally-led collaboration.

Voice for Change Partnership : roles of CSOs in achieving SDG6

IRC

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. Presented at the WASH Debate “Dialogue and dissent: Looking at the role of civil society in achieving SDG 6 by 2030”, in The Hague, the Netherlands on 26 June 2019.

Place leadership council, Matthew Carmona - Design Network Conference

Design South East

The document proposes establishing a Place Leadership Council for England to promote high quality design and placemaking in the built environment. The Council would provide leadership on place-based issues through research, advocacy, and maintaining best practice resources. It would not directly conduct design reviews but could direct certain projects to undergo review. The Council would have authority through a Royal Charter and duty on government. It would be governed by representatives from relevant professions and sectors. Funding would come from a small surcharge on planning fees and project grants. The document considers different name options, ultimately suggesting Place Council for England or PlaCE.

Overall, the document advocates for creative, collaborative approaches that align public and private investments with community goals to position housing as a platform for success.
