Presented by Professor A.A. Ilemobade, President & CEO, Upline Resources Foundation, Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria at a 2-day Capacity Enhancement Workshop on Advocacy organized by South-West Freedom of Information Advocacy Network
This presentation shows how BCPC can be organized utilizing the community organizing process to ensure functionality and sustainability. The elements of organizing, namely, education and training, organization-building, resource mobilization and people's participation are key. This can be used by social workers and community development workers, who have a good grasp of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and national and local governance structures mandated to protect and promote children's rights.
This publication provides an overview of 145 successful innovations in governance and public administration from 50 countries that received the United Nations Public Service Awards, which is the most prestigious international recognition of excellence in public service. The purpose of this book is to disseminate, through descriptive case studies, information about innovative practices by looking at the problem that led to an innovation; the solution that was designed and implemented to respond to the specific challenge; the actors and steps involved in the innovation process, and lessons learned. Learning more about how public institutions from around the world have solved difficult governance challenges can be a powerful and inspirational tool for those engaged in improving public sector performance.
Policy development is crucial part in policy process. This presentation will help to understand more and get some tips from my experience in health policy development, synthesized with theories from WHO and US-CDC materials
This is a brief presentation about the findings we got and programs we conducted during our 17 days long Community Health Diagnosis in Panchkhal-6-Kavrepalanchowk.
This presentation will show how community mobilization works to leverage limited funds and garner broad community involvement in the implementation of effective programs. Non-traditional partners offer unique expertise and talents, and are often willing to work together, focusing on a common goal. In Houston, the local city health department, non-profit organizations, and for-profit organizations partner together allowing all each partner to reach their own goals. The presenter will describe how Houston implemented Hip Hop for HIV and other community activities to reduce HIV stigma, increase HIV testing, and garner new community partners.
This presentation covers the USAID Office of Maternal, Child Health and Nutrition; the Office of Health Systems; Office of Population and Reproductive Health; and the Center for Innovation and Impact.

NUR 350 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a community assessment.
As communities become more diverse and nursing care moves into them, nurses are being called to develop and recommend population-based interventions
and programs that are culturally appropriate. The AACN Essentials Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice specifically says: “Preparing
professional nurses to engage in health promotion, community education, and outcomes analysis is an essential component of the basic preparation of the
professional nurse.”
In this course, you will learn about the best practices in community and population health, and have the opportunity for practical application of this knowledge
through community assessment and intervention planning. For your final project, you will explore existing resources, data sets, and systems on the local and
regional level. Through this process, you will develop a culturally appropriate and comprehensive plan (considering religion, culture, alternative medicine, etc.)
for a specific health disparity found within a community. You will develop your strategies based on the principles of community health nursing discussed
throughout the course.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three, Four, and Six. The final product will be submitted in Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
• Plan targeted, population-based interventions for diverse and vulnerable populations across the lifespan by applying principles of community health
• Analyze the interrelationships among theory, practice, and research for their implications on community and population health
• Assess the impact of local, regional, and national conditions on the delivery of nursing services to vulnerable populations
• Analyze the effects of healthcare policy on improvement of healthcare outcomes for diverse populations across the lifespan
• Identify social determinants of health through a comprehensive assessment of resources at the local, regional, and national levels
Prompt
Choose a city or town within the United States to assess at the community level. You should include an analysis of the historical development of the community,
the current demographic and socioeconomic climates, and the community infrastructure. Include a comparison of existing resources within the community at
the local, regional, and national level. After a thorough analysis of this data, formulate and prioritize a list of health-related problems that you see within the
community. Finally, develop a comprehensive community health strategy using one of the problems from that list, including a target population and specific

Interested in learning how to evaluate your policy influence?
Do you promote the uptake and dissemination of population health interventions? Are you interested in exploring public health–related case studies of policy influence? The Guide to Policy-Influence Evaluation can help!
This guide was developed by the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Innovation Strategy and produced by Cathexis Consulting.
How can the Guide to Policy-Influence Evaluation help you?
The Guide to Policy-Influence Evaluation was developed to help organizations use policy influence to improve the uptake and evaluation of evidence-based population health interventions. This process is divided into the four steps of evaluation planning. Each step includes two or more resources to support it. The resources are then summarized and important highlights are presented as they related to each step.
This webinar includes an overview of the Guide by its developers, followed by a presentation from a community based organization who evaluated the impact on policies within their work to promote healthier weights.
The Guide to Policy-Influence Evaluation includes three public health–related case studies:
•Healthy weights among Aboriginal children and youth
•Anti-bullying for primary schools
•Food security and healthy weights

Application of Social Cognitive Theory in Information Science and Education
Social cognitive theory first started as a social learning theory by Albert Bandura for application in psychology. Jenkins, Hall, and Raeside (2018) asserted that, regarding the deployment of social cognitive theory in understanding information seeking behavior and use, the social cognitive theory had been used to explore significant areas. Such areas like consumption of social media content, information retrieval skills in the academic field, information retrieval skills at the workplace, information literacy in the educational field and day to day life information seeking. For instance, Kim (2010) used the theory to explore expectation differences in students of different genders when using university library website resources. With regards to knowledge sharing, Jenkins et al. (2018) found that social cognitive theory has been used to explore various fields like blogging and knowledge management systems.
In the field of education, Erlich and Russ-Eft (2011) reviewed the application of social cognitive theory to academic advising for assessment of student learning. Specifically, the researchers applied the social cognitive theory concepts of self-regulated learning as well as self-efficacy for the study. This medium is because these concepts have been successfully applied to education. The idea that learners should be able to recognize, create as well as choose their career plans for successful navigation through their college life contains the elements of self-efficacy concept and self-regulated learning. For instance, Erlich and Russ-Eft (2011) indicated that the confidence in achieving academic plans at a given level could be an indication of a student’s ability to perform academic planning activities at a complex level, which is a demonstration of increased efficacy. Learner’s self-regulated learning skills may help in understanding the learning mechanisms by which a learner acquired the strategies and tactics for performing academic planning activities with independence and sophistication.

mobilization and constituency building. PATCH focuses on orienting and training community leaders and other
community participants in all aspects of the community needs assessment process and includes excellent
documentation and resource materials. Although originally developed by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) to focus on chronic health conditions and stimulate health promotion and disease prevention
interventions, PATCH is flexible enough to be used in a wide variety of community health needs assessment
applications.
Another important tool for addressing public health core functions and their associated processes is Model
Standards, Healthy Communities.8 The steps outlined for implementation of the Model Standards process in the
community link many of the various core functionrelated tools; they represent, in effect, a pathway for
organizations to participate in community health improvement activities.
1. Assessment of organizational role. Communities are organized and structured differently. As a result, the
specific roles of local public health organizations will vary from community to community. An essential
first step is to reexamine organizational purpose and mission and develop a longrange vision through
strategic planning involving its internal and external constituencies. The resulting mission statement and
longrange vision serve to guide the organization (leadership and board, as well as employees) and to define
it for its community partners. This critical step should be completed before the remaining steps can be
successfully addressed. Part I of APEXPH and the expanded strategic planning elements of MAPP are
useful in accomplishing this task.
2. Assessment of organizational capacity. After mission and role have been defined, it is necessary to
examine an organization’s capacity to carry out its role in the community. This calls for an assessment of
the major operational elements of the organization, including its structure and performance for specific
tasks. This type of organizational and local public health system selfassessment is best carried out through
broad participation from all levels. Both APEXPH and MAPP include hundreds of indicators that can be
used in this capacity assessment. These indicators can be modified or eliminated if deemed inappropriate,
and additional indicators can also be used. This step serves to identify strengths and weaknesses relative to
mission and role.
3. Development of a capacitybuilding plan. The development of a capacitybuilding plan incorporates the
organization’s strengths and prioritizes its weaknesses so that the m ...

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

11. Results also revealed barriers as areas
for ACSM target efforts:
USAID’s Family Advancement for Life and Health (FALAH) in Pakistan
(“Social Mobilization Strategy,” p. 2)
1. Gender Relations – women in Pakistan are less
empowered economically
2. Social or Religious concerns– family planning is
perceived as “unnatural or wrong”
3. Fear of side-effects thus limiting adaption and continued
use
4. Lack of knowledge on available services
13. The FALAH ACSM uses the following Social
Mobilization as identified by McKee (1992):
• POLITICAL MOBILIZATION: to earn the political and policy
commitment in order to have the necessary resource allocations to
achieve goals.
• GOVERNMENT MOBILIZATION: to gain the cooperation of service
providers and other government organizations which can provide direct
or indirect support to the program.
• COMMUNITY MOBILIZATION: to attain commitment of local political,
religious, social, and traditional leaders, as well as local government
agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), women’s groups
and cooperatives.
• CORPORATE MOBILIZATION: to secure the support of national or
international companies in promoting development goals, in providing
resources or carrying out advertising campaigns.
• BENEFICIARY MOBILIZATION: to inform and motivate the program
beneficiaries through trainings, establishment of community groups, and
communication through traditional and mass media.
16. It can be gleaned that monitoring is strategically
conducted within the implementation activities:
• Training
• Health Service Providers Assessments
• Peer Assessments
• home visits
• monitoring by partners
• Supportive Supervisions
17. Lastly--
• Use of Checklists ensure documentation of
evaluations of impacts
• Training sustains dissemination
• Home visits reinforces implementation
• Redesign of strategies strongly possible
20. ("Health Communication and Behavior Change", n.d., p. 1)
URC’s Six Behavior Change Strategies can be classified
into distinct efforts: Advocacy, Communication, and
Social Mobilization.
22. WHO’s Key strategies of social
mobilization include Advocacy efforts
1. Advocacy to mobilize resources and
effect policy change
2. Communication through media and
special events to raise public awareness
3. Alliance Building through partnership
building and networking
4. Community Building and participation
(WHO, 2006-2016)
Adapted from: A Human Rights Approach to TB: Stop TB Guidelines for Social
Mobilization, WHO 2001; as cited in WHO 2006 - 2016).
24. In the review of URC, USAID, and WHO ACSM
Strategies, three salient insights surface:
1. Advocacy is the engine that drives Social Mobilization.
2. Communication propels advocacy & mobilization efforts.
3. Social Mobilization is advocacy in full realization.
25. However, looking through other strategic frameworks,
some questions also seem to remain at large, such as:
• Aren’t Advocacy and Social Mobilization so highly
intertwined?
• Is there really a clear distinction between the two when it
comes to implementation strategies?
26. • Advocacy activities are within the Social
Mobilization efforts?
• Social Mobilization is within the advocacy
efforts?
• Social Mobilization has no formal advocacy
program?
Does it make any difference if…
27. These reflective questions triggered
by the advocacy framework
(Coffman and beer, 2015) as shown
in slide 30, and social mobilization
strategies (Castillo, 2013) as shown
in slide 31.
28. In this Advocacy Strategy by Coffman and Beer (2015),
communication and mobilization efforts are the working
strategies:

For Castillo (2013), advocacy is listed along with IEC, Community
Organizing (CO), Training, Alliance building, monitoring and evaluations as
Component Strategies of Social Mobilization.
30. In the spirit of collaboration, you may opt to
share in our discussion any of the following
frameworks or implementation strategies that:
1. Provide or show distinct or separate
Advocacy, Communication, and Social
Mobilization strategies
2. Advocacy strategies that utilize social
mobilization and/or vice-versa
3. Successful social mobilization through
Communication and not necessarily though a
specific advocacy program

Proposed 15 steps to successful
behavior change programs
(adapted from Craig Lefebvre’s (2016) 12 Features for
Successful Obesity Prevention and Control Programs)
32. The success of ACSM rely on behavior change and the following
behavior change guidelines are hereby proposed:
1. Identify the Barriers, Challenges and Opportunities
2. Select and concentrate on priority groups or beneficiaries
3. Identify the value that each priority group could find in adopting the desired behaviors
4. Understand and address the incentives and costs of change – financial, opportunity, psychological,
social, scarcity, etc.
5. Design messages, materials, services and behaviors that fit people’s reality
6. Position the new behavior as more compelling, relevant, and potentially more valuable to people when
they practice it, in comparison to the alternatives
7. Test program strategies and elements before implementation
8. Do not rely solely on mass communication campaigns but communicate at the individual, interpersonal,
group, and organizational and community levels.
9. Increase access to information, places, food choices and services that reinforce desired behaviors
10. Establish centers in strategic locations for distribution of materials and services, and create
opportunities for members of the priority group to engage in behavior changing activities
11. Utilize community-based programs and citizen engagement to facilitate collaborations and create
healthier environments and policies
12. Consider policies that include incentives and disincentives for activity behavior
13. Explore how social networks and social media can influence norms and diffusion of desired behaviors
14. Utilize Edu-entertainment (such as use of compelling stories through print, video blogs, tapping the
Power of THONS, etc.)
15. Develop ACSM framework grounded on Communication Theories and Tactical Theories of Change
