4. Participation for material assets involves contributing resources in exchange for cash or materials but no stake in long-term sustainability.
VolunteerNet
VolunteerNet is a proposed web-based solution to match volunteers with nonprofit organizations more effectively. It would use an algorithm to connect qualified volunteers to tailored initiatives online. Organizations could review candidate profiles, while volunteers and organizations would be engaged through forums on the site. The solution aims to address low volunteer engagement by streamlining the matching process. It is projected to first launch at Temple University and the Philadelphia area, then expand regionally and nationally over three years, becoming financially self-sustaining through small membership fees from organizations and volunteers.
Learning in networks
The document discusses organizational learning networks supported by ATOL in various regions. It describes two examples of these networks in Benin, Mali, Angola, and DR Congo where groups of organizations meet periodically to share successes, failures, and input to plan changes. It also discusses three libraries and documentation centers networks created in cities in DR Congo to connect independent information providers through training and monthly meetings.

What does it mean for a foundation to become a facilitative leader? And how can foundation staff make the case for network-based funding approaches to boards and other stakeholders? This two-part series will explore successes and insights from the DentaQuest Foundation’s national systems change strategy Oral Health 2020. Started in 2011, this network-based strategy has achieved notable results—development of oral health leaders across the country, creation of new state partnerships connected to a national health improvement network, and tangible system and policy changes such as the expansion of public benefits in more than 15 states. Come learn about what it took to make this work happen from the perspective of Foundation leaders Brian Souza and Mike Monopoli, initiative evaluator Clare Nolan (Harder+Company Community Research), and network weaver Marianne Hughes (Interaction Institute for Social Change).
Part 2 will dive deeper into what it took to achieve these results, including lessons learned from network building as well as what it means for a foundation to take on a facilitative leadership role.Whole Systems Change Programme

How can we collaborate with people to help them build their resilience? Get under the skin of the culture and the lives people live. Identify people’s feelings and experiences of community and understand what people think is shaped by different values and by the environment and infrastructure around them. The future of collaboration could bring many opportunities but people find it more difficult to live and act together than before. How can we help people…and communities build their resilience? Understand people’s different situations and capabilities to develop pathways that help them build resilient relationships. Help people experience and practice change together. Help people grow everyday practices into sustainable projects. Turn people’s everyday motivations into design principles. Support infrastructure that connects different cultures of collaboration. Build relationships with people designing in collaboration for the future…now.

The Disparities Leadership Program (DLP) is a one year executive leadership program designed to equip a cadre of leaders in healthcare with in-depth knowledge in the field of disparities, cutting-edge quality improvement strategies for identifying and addressing disparities, and leadership skills to facilitate the organizational transformation necessary to advance health care equity. With support from The Aetna Foundation, The Leadership Learning Community (LLC) conducted an external evaluation of the DLP and the program's impact on participating organizations’ efforts to address health inequities. In this webinar, Dr. Joseph Betancourt, Director of the Disparities Solutions Center, Dr. Roderick King, Senior Faculty at the Disparities Solutions Center, and Dr. Claire Reinelt, founding member and former Research and Evaluation Director of LLC, will provide an overview of the DLP, present the findings of the evaluation and discuss lessons learned for the development and implementation of successful executive leadership programs focused on organizational transformation.
This evaluation was supported by The Aetna Foundation, a national foundation based in Hartford, Connecticut, that supports projects to promote wellness, health and access to high quality care for everyone. The views presented here are those of the author and not necessarily those of The Aetna Foundation, its directors, officers, or staff. The Aetna Foundation was not involved in selecting the organizations involved or in the work conducted as part of the Disparities Leadership Program evaluation.Ten Principles to Facilitate Systemic Change
The document outlines 10 principles for facilitating systemic change: 1) Have a holistic vision that addresses individual, social, spiritual, and physical needs; 2) Invite everyone affected to participate; 3) Gather input from many sources to understand the situation fully; 4) Identify underlying factors causing problems; 5) Explore collaborating with other organizations; 6) Build capacity of all participants; 7) Design projects to meet needs and eliminate root causes; 8) Implement projects involving all stakeholders; 9) Establish ongoing evaluation with all stakeholders; 10) Foster transparency by inviting participation in all aspects of projects.
Intentional Innovation
From the Ontario Trillium Foundation 2009 Professional Development Conference
According to a recent Kellogg Foundation report, if an organization builds a culture that systematically supports innovation, the ideas will come. The key is to be deliberate, open to ideas from anywhere, comfortable with unpredictability, and generous in sharing learnings – all great approaches to building a social infrastructure for youth organizing and engagement in Ontario. Young people are already making significant contributions to their communities, and now is the time to sustain and increase that activity.
In March 2009, OTF partnered with the Laidlaw Foundation and Tides Canada to create the conditions that would allow youth-led and youth-serving organizations to connect with each other, share resources and develop new knowledge and practices. 50 young people from diverse sectors and groups agreed on the need for a coordinated provincial model, but where they go from there is deliberately unplanned. No required changes have been identified up front, and no expected outcomes have been proposed. The only certainty is that a strong foundation is being built for future generations. Work through a fascinating case study on this unique process to find out more about:
- the five stages of intentional innovation;
- thinking big and trusting to “wisdom of crowds”;
- the definition of a social infrastructure; and
- the kind of supports needed by youth to strengthen their work

This document discusses proposals for establishing community rehabilitation programs in South Africa to address the harms caused by apartheid violations. It outlines principles from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that rehabilitation should help victims overcome damage, restore dignity, and prevent future abuses. It argues that the government has failed to adequately implement reparation and rehabilitation efforts, restricting funds and excluding many victims and communities. It proposes establishing an Apartheid Victims' Trust Fund to support victim-centered, community-based rehabilitation projects throughout the country.Antjie krog for all voices, for all victims
The poem "For All Voices, For All Victims" by Antjie Krog reflects on her experience reporting on the testimonies shared at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in post-Apartheid South Africa. Krog expresses conflicted feelings of guilt as a white South African and her desire to belong in the new democratic nation. Through powerful language and imagery, she explores themes of reconciliation, forgiveness, and national identity in the aftermath of violence and oppression.

This presentation describes a step-by-step process for creating a core diagram that is applicable to companies that exist within the collaboration operating model, as described by Ross and Weill in their book "Enterprise Architecture As Strategy." The method produces a core diagram that preserves business agility by forcing the enterprise architect to consider the costs and benefits of reuse of processes, information, services, and systems. The resulting model supports "Capability at the Core, and Agility at the Edge."
WHO Building Blocks_
This document summarizes a meeting discussing how to better incorporate communities into existing models of health system strengthening. The World Health Organization's six building blocks model was used as a starting point. Meeting participants reviewed each building block and considered how communities could be more explicitly included. They identified several key areas missing from current models, such as an emphasis on community-based health services and civil society engagement. The overall goal was to stimulate discussion on better representing communities and community health in global health frameworks and funding.
Challenges in rehabilitation of the elderly patient
This document discusses rehabilitation in the elderly. It covers the prevalence of disability in the elderly, benefits of rehabilitation such as improved function and reduced risk of nursing home admission. Goals of rehabilitation include improving function and preventing further disability. Challenges include physiological changes like decreased muscle mass and strength, and geriatric syndromes like dementia, falls, and incontinence. Proper communication and addressing sensory issues are important in the rehabilitation of elderly patients. Tests like the timed up and go and functional reach can assess function.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
The document traces the history and definitions of pulmonary rehabilitation from 1974 to 1999. It summarizes that in 1974 the ACCP first defined pulmonary rehabilitation, which was then included in the ATS's 1981 statement. In 1994 the NIH further formalized the definition, which the ATS later updated in 1999 to define pulmonary rehabilitation as a multidisciplinary program designed to optimize physical and social performance for those with chronic respiratory impairment.

Successfully transitioning your organization to a network mindset complete (1)
Successfully transitioning your organization to a network mindset complete (1)Leadership Learning Community
Working in networked ways is fundamentally different than traditional ways of working. Organizations can commit to a network approach yet not fully realize all the pieces and behaviors needed to make it actually work.
Carole Martin and Beth Tener will share their insights as coaches/facilitators with a wide range of social change network initiatives. They'll explore what they have been learning about which networks get traction and grow and which ones stumble, related to these themes:
What does organization readiness to embrace the network approach "look like"? How do board and staff members organize their time, priorities, and mindset differently?
How does leading look different both within and outside your organization?
What are some key pitfalls and lessons learned that you can keep in mind as you design for a more inclusive, joyous and connected way of working?
If your organization is pursuing networked ways of working, considering going this route or are on your way and hitting some bumps in the road, this will be a helpful conversation to participate in and invite in colleagues who are still learning.Targeted Capacity Building - CCAT Webinar

Equitable Partnerships and HRBA
Do you wonder what value human rights-based approaches and equitable partnerships can add to development programming?
The ICN presents this webinar with CCIC, in collaboration with the Coady International Institute and Equitas – International Centre for Human Rights Education. Participants will be introduced to a Guide that these three organizations have produced in collaboration. It provides concrete and practical tools to help organizations integrate a human rights-based approach (HRBA) into their development programming and begin a process to intentionally develop more equitable partnerships - all the while, helping facilitators run participatory workshops to achieve this, and providing a resource manual for participants in the process.
The webinar will briefly touch upon the following:
The rationale for creating the Guide two years on from the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness, and the choice and centrality of human rights and partnership to the work of civil society.
How the guide helps to demystify the human rights based approach (HRBA) by breaking it down into simple guiding elements that can inform and improve program design, implementation and evaluation, and about the value that HRBA brings to the development process.
The different forms of collaboration and the power dynamics often involved, it will also discuss how partnership principles can shape a process to generate more equitable partnerships and recognize the importance of collaboration as an outcome.

Getting to collective impact case study handout
Continuous communication is key to a successful coalition. Effective communication includes communicating with all members and stakeholders, providing feedback and evaluation, using a common language, and clarifying roles. Communication should be action-oriented and occur both within and outside of meetings through various channels like email and online forums. This helps build trust and allows the coalition to capitalize on opportunities. Barriers to sustainability include lack of funding, leadership and membership turnover, and "turf battles". Building coalition capacity requires skills like collaborative work, sharing resources, and making long-term commitments to complement the coalition's goals.

Presentation_Wesseling - Private Public Partnerships and CKDu
This document discusses the epidemic of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) affecting agricultural workers along the Pacific coast of Central America. It provides evidence that the disease has an occupational etiology related to heat stress and dehydration experienced by sugarcane and other field workers. Studies show physiological changes in workers consistent with heat stress and dehydration across work shifts. Longitudinal studies find declines in kidney function over harvest seasons among heat-exposed occupations. Intervention studies reducing heat stress through water, rest, and shade have shown reduced declines in kidney function. While some non-occupational factors may also contribute, the evidence strongly suggests that prolonged occupational heat stress is a primary driver of the CKDu epidemic.
Presentation_NCDs - Private Public Partnerships and CKDu
Non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease, and diabetes are leading causes of death and disability globally but receive little focus from global health initiatives. While communicable diseases have declined in recent decades, deaths from non-communicable diseases have increased and pose growing health and economic challenges as treatments remain limited.

Country case studies from both high and low income nations are also being conducted to understand policies and guidelines supporting nurturing care concepts.
Presentation_Discussion - Norms Shifting Interventions
Participants in a small group discussed how to integrate norms-shifting interventions into current projects and programs. They considered what new partnerships would be needed when working to shift social norms and what evidence of the effectiveness of norms-shifting interventions should be collected, for whom, and how.
Presentation_Krieger - Norms Shifting Interventions
The document discusses the origins and theories of social norms. It notes that early theorists like Durkheim, Weber, and Ogburn contributed to understanding where norms come from and how they guide behavior. Parsons further explored how members of society are socialized to norms. Later, feminist anthropologists studied norms and social control, especially regarding gender. The document contrasts philosophical, psychological, and anthropological approaches to studying norms and culture. It argues that knowledge of cultural norms can help reduce unexpected outcomes in social science and shift narratives to achieve behavior change. The example of the Albania Family Planning Project shows how understanding local norms was key to successfully promoting contraceptive use.
Presentation_NSI - Norms Shifting Interventions
This document discusses the key attributes of norms-shifting interventions. It identifies several attributes that make an intervention effective at shifting social norms, including seeking community-level change, engaging people at multiple levels, correcting misperceptions around harmful behaviors, confronting power imbalances related to gender, creating safe spaces for critical reflection, rooting the issue within community values, accurately assessing norms, using organized diffusion, and creating positive new norms. The document provides examples and explanations for each of these attributes.
Presentation_Igras - Norms Shifting Interventions
This document discusses using theory to inform the work of a learning collaborative (LC) on norms-shifting interventions for adolescent reproductive health. It outlines several relevant theories, including social norm and behavior change theory and communication and behavior change theories. It also discusses the value of "bottom-up" program change theory developed from implementation experience. The LC aims to facilitate collaboration between organizations, build knowledge, and develop shared tools to guide effective social norm measurement and practice at scale. By working collaboratively, the LC can take a more experimental approach in this nascent field while still being informed by relevant theories.
Presentation_Petraglia - Norms Shifting Interventions
This document discusses a constructivist perspective on norms and normative change. Some key points of constructivism are that knowledge is constructed through social interaction and prior experiences, and meaning is negotiated through language. Constructivism acknowledges that individuals belong to multiple reference groups and can choose which norms to follow in a given situation. Normative change interventions cannot directly manage or control norms, but may be able to influence them by facilitating dialogue, clarifying language, and encouraging ethical persuasion rather than direct attribution. Norms and beliefs are also difficult to accurately measure.
Presentation_Sprinkel - Norms Shifting Interventions
This presentation provides an overview of CARE's Tipping Point initiative which aims to address child, early and forced marriage in Nepal and Bangladesh through community programming and evidence generation. In Phase 1 from 2013-2017, the project worked with adolescents, parents and leaders in 16 districts across the two countries. Norms influencing child marriage include excluding girls' voices, controlling girls' sexuality, and perceptions of risks/benefits of marriage timing. Phase 2 implements a randomized control trial to generate evidence on effective gender transformative programming and the value of social norms approaches. Challenges included discussing sexuality while successes included girls gaining greater freedom and mobility.
Presentation_Tura - Norms Shifting Interventions
This document discusses the Care Group approach used in an intervention in Nepal from 2005-2010. It aimed to shift social norms around maternal and child health issues through community groups. Formative research identified key norms and barriers. Community groups engaged women to reflect critically and root issues in community values. Evaluations found sustained impact on behaviors like breastfeeding years later. Challenges included focusing directly on norm drivers and unrealistic community health worker workloads. Further research on accurate norm assessment and evidence-based norm-shifting is still needed.
Presentation_Sacher - Norms Shifting Interventions
This document summarizes Cristina Bicchieri's theory of social norms, which is grounded in philosophy, game theory, and psychology. The key aspects of the theory include conditional preferences that depend on social expectations, personal normative beliefs about what should be done, and expectations about what others in one's reference network do and think should be done. The implications for practice highlighted in the document include providing a theory of change, identifying the nature of norms to design appropriate interventions, and using data and illustrative vignettes to measure norms and guide social change programs.

Presentation_Jurczynska - Catalyzing Investments in RMNCAH at the Community L...
The document describes an evidence-based advocacy model called the Family Planning – Sustainable Development Goals (FP-SDGs) model. The model allows users to quantify the impacts of different family planning scenarios on 13 Sustainable Development Goal indicators out to 2030 or 2050. Users input baseline data and create three future scenarios capturing various levels of ambition for family planning and other socioeconomic factors. The model then projects population figures and calculates outcomes for the SDG indicators. Results can support advocacy efforts to increase funding and prioritization of family planning programs and policies. Examples of the model's use in Malawi, Tanzania, and West Africa demonstrate its ability to quantify potential development impacts of expanding access to voluntary family planning.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
