Alicia Van Orman, from the Population Reference Bureau, shares techniques and resources for collecting publically-available data and disaggregating it by race during a recent webinar. Using disaggregated data allows researchers to uncover patterns or other information that could lead to targeted and efficient investments.
The decennial census determines the allocation of hundreds of billions of federal program dollars. Federal agencies and private entities use data on race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, age, and disability to determine where disparities exist and where community groups could assist. This workshop brings together professionals working to collect data for the census to discuss recently analyzed data with community groups searching for information to support program objectives and goals.
Paywast is an SMS-based social network in Afghanistan with more than 1.6 million users across the country. Paywast users interact with their friends and peers on the social network using their mobile phone. Paywast is available across mobile network operators.
In February 2014, Paywast conducted SMS-based surveys among a randomly selected group of our users about the forthcoming Presidential elections in Afghanistan. We asked each respondent 6-7 questions on topics around the elections.
In this document we highlight some of the key findings of the SMS survey. You are welcome to contact us on info@paywast.af for more information, or to visit the Paywast Elections website, http://elections.paywast.af, to generate your own charts based on the survey data. You can also follow @AFSpeaks on Twitter to see some of the comments and opinions shared by Paywast users about the Afghan elections.

2016 Health Insurance Coverag Estimates: SHADAC Webinar Featuring U.S. Census...Caroline Au-Yeung, MPH
Join us for an overview of the 2016 health insurance coverage estimates from two key, large-scale federal data sources: The American Community Survey (ACS) and the Current Population Survey (CPS).
Data from these annual surveys paint a picture of coverage at the national and state level under three years of ACA implementation while also providing historical trend information for context.
This past year marked a turning point for the White Non-Hispanic population which declined for the first time ever, 10 years before the U.S. Census projection. Multicultural segments made up 100% of U.S. Population growth last year according to recently released 2016 ACS. While U.S. population growth is slowing overall, Multicultural segments are driving the expansion of the U.S. consumer base making up 4 in 10 Americans with Hispanics continuing to drive half of the entire U.S growth and the Other/Mixed Race segment delivering the fastest growing. Looking to the future, the Multicultural population in the U.S. is projected to reach 131 million in 2018. This tipping point is causing many marketers to reconsider with which segments to lead their growth efforts.

As part of a series on implementing evidence-based practices in child welfare from the Annie E. Casey Foundation and the William T. Grant Foundation, this webinar outlines ways to approach three important considerations in financing prevention services under the Family First Prevention Services Act.
The 60-minute webinar, "Planning for Family First Prevention Services: Three Key Fiscal Elements to Consider," previews a tool being piloted with several states that helps child welfare leaders analyze the fiscal implications of services for children and families.

A June 2018 webinar sponsored by the Annie E. Casey Foundation and the William T. Grant Foundation — now available via recording — provides an overview of available funding streams for implementing and sustaining evidence-based programs in child welfare, with a special emphasis on the Family First Prevention Services Act.
This presentation was featured in a webinar that explored evidence-based approaches to engage youth and young adults from foster care in the prevention of unintended or untimely pregnancies. The webinar also highlighted effective supports for young people in care as parents as they tend to their own developmental needs.
In the latest webinar in the Using What Works series highlighting tools of the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s Evidence2Success framework, experts described the components of a strategic financing plan for programs proven to work for children and families and new financing approaches being adopted around the country.
The Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative’s webinar, “Model Extension of Care and Re-Entry Policies — Creating a Legal Structure that Promotes Engagement,” explores key components of a youth-engaging extended foster care system. This session explores model programs and policies in various states as well as reform plans.
This presentation highlights ways states can reduce the use of Another Planned Permanent Living Arrangement (APPLA) and improve permanency outcomes for older youth in foster care.
In a webinar in the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s Using What Works to Improve Child Well-Being series, an expert panel discusses how the Youth Experience Survey, one of the key tools in the Evidence2Success framework, generates data on risk and protective factors that help communities address problems for youth before they start.
The webinar, “Getting to Permanence: The Practices of High-Performing Child Welfare Agencies,” highlights the importance of prioritizing family relationships and ensuring children and teens in foster care have enduring connections to loving, nurturing adults in their lives.
Authentic youth engagement is critical to improving outcomes for young people transitioning from foster care to adulthood. This point recently was emphasized in Maximizing Youth Engagement in Court Reviews and Case Planning, a webinar hosted by the Casey Foundation’s Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative.
Tackle troublesome behavior among youths before it leads to poor outcomes like violence, delinquency, dropping out of school, substance abuse and teen pregnancy. That lies at the heart of “prevention science.
This presentation explored key recommendations in the Annie E. Casey Foundation's publication, "A Child Welfare Leader’s Desk Guide to Building a High-Performing Agency," including strategies for collecting and analyzing data about disparities.
Learn how court oversight can be a powerful tool in ensuring the benefit of the normalcy and youth engagement/participation provisions of the Strengthening Families Act (SFA) positively affect the everyday lives of youth.
This webinar presentation, part of the Community Matters series from the Casey Foundation, highlights the story of community-driven redevelopment in Oliver, an East Baltimore neighborhood.
As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.
