LHH and HCI Study - Leaders Developing Leaders 2010 joycebrad507
The Human Capital Institute (HCI) and Lee Hecht Harrison (LHH) partnered to develop an original research report on the topic of “Leaders Developing Leaders,” a critical component of any leadership development strategy in today’s modern organizations, especially in light of the “Great Recession.” “Leaders Developing Leaders” refers to the strategy by which organizations leverage the use of seasoned leaders as in-house coaches and teachers. “Leaders Developing Leaders” programs are built on the theory that senior leaders are uniquely positioned to espouse and teach the leadership values and skills of organizations. In this vein, “Leaders Developing Leaders” is a leadership development program aimed at building the talent pipeline by compelling senior leaders to become the teachers, coaches, and/or mentors for the organization’s future leaders.

3) Documentation of short-term outcomes and changes in the community is important to show progress toward long-term goals of reducing substance abuse rates. Mid-course corrections may be needed if anticipated results are not
Human Centered Design Gives Voice to Communities & Community Health Workers: ...JSI
Human-centered Design (HCD) is a form of inquiry and solution generation that is applied in the conceptual stages of a planning process and subsequent stages of program or product development. The HCD process is described as open-minded, iterative, and human-centered and is intended to result in innovative solutions. It is used to help define problems from the user perspective, explore user needs and desires with respect to a particular issue or problem, and identify solutions to address those needs and desires. In the context of global health, HCD is emerging as an approach to enhance the effectiveness of health program interventions and give voice to clients and providers.
From 2012 to 2016, HCD was applied in three MNCH projects in Africa. Case studies were conducted to explore the application and influence of HCD, filling a gap in evidence and understanding of the potential of HCD for improving the effectiveness of global health programming.
It was found that there were changes in program implementers behavior: 1. Increased frequency of consultation with health workers and health service clients. 2. Increased prominence given to feedback loops and the importance of user-driven adaptation of program interventions.
It was concluded that: Human-centered health program design methods:
1. Are useful for gaining new or deeper insights into health-related or health-service related experiences and behaviors and defining barriers to health solutions.
2. Prioritize the community voice in solution generation and adaptation.
3. Contribute effectively to the acceptability and uptake of public health-focused products, roles and behaviors, creating better “fit.”
4. Offer a fresh approach to program design that goes beyond and may challenge normative assumptions about health worker and health client experience.
5. Humbles health program designers and implementers.

It notes that a consultation process will gather input from communities, organizations, governments and donors on how to strengthen the CHS to better protect people's rights and deliver effective aid. The consultation will focus on validating the CHS's core commitments, identifying any gaps, and simplifying the language to make it more user-friendly. Any proposed changes will be assessed based on whether they reinforce the standard's people-centered approach and simplify use while maintaining continuity.
The document outlines CARE Vietnam's approach to organizational capacity development for community-based organizations (CBOs) in the rural development sector.

17. Introduction
In order for comprehensive HIV prevention services
and strategies to be successful, community based
organizations and their frontline staff must have
the necessary skills and resources to respond
efficiently and effectively to this epidemic.
Thus, CBOs must have the capacity to engage
successfully in HIV prevention efforts, particularly
those efforts involving the implementation of HIV
prevention interventions that have proven to be
effective.
17
18. Capacity Building Assistance (CBA)
HIV prevention capacity building is a process by
which individuals, organizations, and communities
develop abilities to enhance and sustain HIV
prevention efforts.
The goal of capacity building is to foster self-
sufficiency and the self-sustaining ability to
improve HIV prevention programs, processes, and
outcomes.

29. HRC’s Lessons Learned Providing
CBA to CBOs/HDs : 2004-2009
Empowered CBA consumers lead to sustainable
programs (lesson #11)
CBOs should work with CBA and technical
assistance providers during the pre-implementation
and implementation phases (lesson #5)
A coordinated effort among CBA providers is
needed to effect change on a national level (lesson
#7)

30. Conclusions:
Many of the lessons centered on the need for
open communication and collaboration
between CBA providers, CBA consumers,
CDC program officers, and CDC program
consultants in order to ensure efficient and
effective capacity building.

31. Conclusions:
The overarching theme across the lessons
learned is that providing capacity building
assistance has its rewards, but it is not
without its challenges.

The African American Capacity Building Initiative (AACBI) is proud to be a program of the Harm Reduction Coalition, founded in 1994 to work with individuals and communities at risk for HIV infection due to drug use and high-risk sexual behaviors. Because injection and other drug users in the African American community are at significant risk of HIV infection and transmission, the Harm Reduction Coalition saw the need to work with those groups that were already working to provide HIV prevention interventions to African Americans and to aid them in their work, while offering its specific expertise in how to best incorporate the principles of health and safety promotion for drug users. The harm reduction movement started decades ago in Western Europe and was introduced to the US in the late 1970s/early 1980s when the HIV epidemic began to spread like wildfire, especially among IDUs. Current & former drug users started HRC to promote the health & human rights of drug users
HRC’s HIV Prevention Capacity Building Initiative is a CDC-funded project Our funding period is September 1, 2009 to March 31, 2014
Capacity building involves a variety of delivery mechanisms: technology transfer technical/capacity-building assistance training skills building information dissemination technology transfer – the process by which innovations are diffused among HIV prevention providers to improve how intervention effectiveness and scientific research is translated into programs and practice. technical assistance – the provision and/or facilitation of culturally relevant and expert programmatic, scientific, and technical advice (mentoring/coaching) and support. CBB members provide assistance to grantees in areas such as organizational infrastructure development, program implementation, adaptation and tailoring of behavioral interventions, and evaluation. training – curricula development, delivery of curricula and coordination of training activities to increase the knowledge, skills and abilities of trainers, educators and service providers. Training focuses on the delivery of effective HIV prevention interventions and strategies, such as: prevention counseling partner counseling, testing and referral services (PCRS) prevention case management (PCM) and implementation of rapid testing. Training activities also include facilitation skills, recruitment strategies, adaptation and tailoring guidance that increases knowledge, skills, and abilities required to implement HIV prevention interventions, and programs and services. Trainings are provided directly to service providers for implementation or to educators/trainers in a Train-the-Trainer (TOT) format for further dissemination. Facilitation of trainings is provided in English and Spanish. information dissemination – distribution and sharing of relevant and current HIV prevention information (reviewed by peer materials review committees prior to dissemination) through print materials, presentations, websites, and mass media.
#5: CDC Recommendations: Areas to Assess To Determine Readines s organizational environment, governance, and programmatic infrastructure (the agency culture and characteristics that are needed to support an EBI) workforce and professional development (knowledge, skills, and abilities of the people who implement an EBI) resources and support (practical assets needed to implement an EBI); motivational forces and readiness (reasons that an EBI will meet the needs of the target population as well as staff enthusiasm to provide high-quality services); learning from experience (changes that occur in people, agencies, and interventions during implementation as provided by feedback and evaluation); and adjusting to the external environment (adjusting to the cultural, social, economic, political, legal, and environmental factors that are within agency control and influence their capacity to implement an EBI).
