Some General Findings from
The Developmental Leadership Program
Coalitions are more likely to promote transformational
change, when they:
• are formed in response to local events and critical
junctures;
• are locally driven and owned;
• share a common purpose, interests and sometimes
values (or are able to navigate between conflicting values);
• have adaptive and distributed leadership that is regularly
renegotiated.
The creation of safe spaces in which coalition members and
others can be engaged in processes of reframing attitudes and
beliefs, often by sharing personal stories, is often important.

Some General Findings from
The Developmental Leadership Program

This document discusses embedding young people's participation in health services. It begins by defining participation and noting that while there is guidance on participation, the reality often differs from the rhetoric. The research examined how participation is conceptualized and operationalized in practice, and the barriers to embedding participation. Key findings indicated that to be meaningful, participation needs young people and their rights at the center, consideration of who to include, and different approaches for different youth. Professionals and youth need shared understandings of participation and what it looks like done well.

Improving Our Capacity to Develop Capacity in Health_Dr. Leonardo Cubillos Tu...

CORE Group

This presentation discusses capacity development in health systems strengthening. It begins by outlining some of the challenges faced in capacity development, such as lack of consensus on definitions and measuring results. It defines capacity as the availability of resources to pursue development goals sustainably, and capacity development as a locally driven process of learning to enhance local ownership. Three key areas for institutional capacity development are identified: the sociopolitical environment, policy instruments, and organizational arrangements. The presentation emphasizes learning, joint learning, and joint action as the basis for capacity development. It provides examples of capacity development programs and concludes by highlighting the importance of citizen participation, influence and accountability in the post-2015 development agenda.

The document summarizes Chicago's efforts through its Healthy Chicago program to reduce tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke. It outlines strategies like implementing smoke-free policies in multi-unit housing, hospitals, mental health facilities, and college campuses. Media campaigns reached hundreds of millions of people. Screening programs in clinics and social services impacted over 100,000 clients. Youth anti-smoking programs engaged over 1,000 youth. Surveys found growing awareness of efforts and reductions in smoking rates and secondhand smoke exposure. Upcoming efforts include expanding smoke-free campus and park policies to achieve a tobacco-free generation.

Corporate social responsibility

azhar901

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) promotes business accountability to stakeholders beyond shareholders. Key CSR areas include environmental protection and employee/community well-being. Drivers of CSR include shrinking government roles, increased stakeholder disclosure demands, growing investor/customer interest in ethics, and competitive labor markets. Benefits of CSR include improved company performance, community benefits, and environmental benefits. Challenges to implementing CSR include the need for reliable indicators and strategy dissemination.

2015 Ottawa County Health Improvement Plan

Ottawa County Department of Public Health

WHAT is the Ottawa County Community Health Improvement Plan? A plan that focuses on the greatest health needs in Ottawa County. Community members, including people from health care and human service agencies, identified three priority health areas based on data from the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). WHY a CHIP? Public health challenges are too great for a single person, organization or sector to solve alone. The CHIP is a guide for the community to work together and meet its health needs.

Embedding quality improvement in community health in Africa and Asia: What i...

REACHOUTCONSORTIUMSLIDES

This document discusses how to embed quality improvement initiatives in community health systems in Africa and Asia. It advocates for an adaptive and politically informed approach called "doing development differently" that rejects blueprints and embraces local realities and leadership. Quality improvement uses iterative, problem-driven cycles to identify performance gaps, understand causes, test interventions, and implement solutions. While effective, there is limited evidence on how to institutionalize quality improvement within national health systems. The document recommends using political economy analysis to understand the context, incentives, power dynamics and behaviors of stakeholders to design locally-led strategies that facilitate sustainable change.

Role of ng os in csr arpit

priyankafrenz

NGOs play an important role in corporate social responsibility by creating public awareness, pressuring companies and governments, and initiating strategic changes. They focus on issues like human rights, labor rights, and the environment. NGOs vary in their level of operation from local community groups to large international organizations. While some distrust large companies, most people express some level of trust in NGOs. NGOs can cooperate with companies on CSR projects or apply pressure through advocacy, sharing information, and encouraging boycotts when needed. The media is also an important tool for NGOs to influence public opinion on CSR practices.

Community Involvement and Commissioning

PPI (patient and public involvement) is imperative for successful commissioning for several reasons: it saves money and ensures pathways are used; it increases the moral and democratic legitimacy of the NHS; and it leads to safer and better designed services. There are several governance options for consortiums including democratic elections to boards and having lay people and community groups represented. Community development and asset-based approaches can improve PPI, health outcomes, and tackle inequalities by strengthening communities and individuals. The 7 step model of community organizing has led to rapid changes in commissioning and health improvements within 5 years.

Community Involvement in Commissioning

PPI (patient and public involvement) is imperative for successful commissioning for several reasons: it saves money and ensures pathways are used; it increases the moral and democratic legitimacy of the NHS; and it leads to safer and better designed services. Effective PPI requires democratic and participatory involvement from both individuals and community groups to influence priorities, service development, and quality standards. This can be achieved through structures like Healthwatch, consortium governance models, and community development approaches that view community members as assets and work to improve health through co-production.

What Does it Take to Make Enrollment Efforts Permanent?

Enroll America

This document discusses making health insurance enrollment efforts permanent through institutional partnerships. It provides examples of partnerships between hospitals and faith communities, criminal justice communities, and schools. These partnerships aim to make enrollment a regular practice. They benefit both the community and institutions by improving care coordination, reducing costs, and improving health. The document urges starting with a pilot program, engaging key stakeholders, and maintaining communication. It emphasizes finding shared benefits and starting small before expanding partnerships.

A conversation with Oaktree

This document discusses implications for international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) in light of changing global trends and issues affecting power dynamics. It suggests that INGOs reflect on developing a bi-cultural identity, use monitoring and evaluation strategies that incorporate diverse forms of knowledge, and examine whether their governance and leadership reinforce existing power structures or model alternative approaches. INGOs are also encouraged to consider the long-term impact of the narratives they create and whether these could include perspectives on inter-generational justice.

Developmental Leadership and Evaluation

Chicago Department of Public Health

The document discusses developmental leadership and evaluation approaches. It provides examples of the Warlpiri Education and Training Trust's (WETT) monitoring and evaluation methods from 2008-2018, which included both quantitative and qualitative data collection. It notes that mixed methods are needed for evaluation but that the right approach depends on politics, interests, and worldviews. Developmental leadership and appropriate governance may help manage different stakeholder interests and perspectives in evaluation.

Samoan library, Australian librarian: connecting people and libraries through...

The document discusses the state of libraries in Samoa. It notes that a recent tsunami destroyed five primary schools on the south coast of Samoa. The recovery process is underway but supporting Samoa's libraries is important for education, literacy, and equal access to information. There are approximately 50 libraries in Samoa but only 10 qualified librarians and limited internet access. Challenges facing Samoan libraries include lack of funding, materials in the Samoan language, unskilled library workers, and vulnerability to natural disasters. The author is serving as a librarian at the National University of Samoa through the Australian Youth Ambassadors for Development program.
