This document summarizes a panel discussion on cross-cutting themes in community health from USAID's Child Survival and Health Grants Program (CSHGP) 2014 cohort. It discusses USAID's commitment to ending preventable child and maternal deaths through community-based programming. Two grantee presentations showcase models for community engagement in Bangladesh and quality improvement initiatives in Benin. A cross-cutting analysis identifies key themes of community engagement and integrated service delivery. MCSP aims to accelerate institutionalization of community health and proposes a "Looking Glass" model of essential elements for viable integrated community health platforms.
Presentation is about the uniqueness of Implementation Research and Role of the Government, specially in Indian context of health programme implementation.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

& Child Deaths (June/2014)
3. Integrated RMNCH
• “We are entering (or are in the midst of) a
paradigm shift in which:
• Community-based programming is being seen as the
most cost-effective approach for improving
RMNCH
• Movements toward integration will increasingly be
seen as essential for long-term sustainability and
effective programming”
CBPHC Conclusion (from H. Perry)
4. USAID’s Child Survival and Health Grants Program
(CSHGP)
• Partnership model engages and builds the
capacity of civil society with host country
governments
• Cooperative agreements - international
NGOs and their local partners.
• Programs generate new knowledge to
improve the health of women, children, and
communities.
5. CSGHP 2014 Cohort
• 10 of 11projects completed final evaluations
• Liberia granted extension
• 7 in Africa, 3 in Asia, 1 in South America
• Largely MNCH-focused; 1 TB
• Various strategies:

The “Looking Glass”- a visual model
11. Lens 1: Interventions & Outcomes
• Package of RMNH interventions aimed at
improving outcomes for mothers, newborns
and children.
• Balance of health promotion with preventive
and curative services
• Clearly identified outcomes at the
community level
12. Lens 2: Community health workforce (CHWs)
& Community organizing structures
• Re-emergence of large scale CHW
programs
• CHW roles, profile, capacity, fit to tasks and
coverage in the population.
• CHW relationship to community groups
(formal and informal) as a subsystem related
to the outcomes and interventions defined
in Lens 1. i.e.Women’s PLA groups; Care
Groups
13. Lens 3: Institutionalization,
governance & partnerships
• Sound governance and support from
subnational (i.e. district) and national MOH
• Effective partnerships with civil society,
community groups, NGOs in the health
sector and CHW professional associations.
• Steps to support those partnerships,
facilitate government to non-government
partnership for health, and build capacity and
shared ownership.
14. Lens 4: Local learning, adaptation
and Information Use for Equity
• A viable CHP requires capacity to learn and adapt by
all actors
• Not static: communities, health systems nor the
health threats they face.
• To sustain community health at scale, a CHP must
focus on how information is used horizontally (close
to communities and beneficiaries) and vertically, to
foster cycles of learning, improvement and
adaptation.
• Examples: PDQ, social accountability strategies, use
of C-HIS, Community Action Cycles
15. Lens 5: Support Services & Functions
• Health systems’ supportive functions to
community health
• Supervision
• Procurement
• Training
• Information systems
16. CSHGP and MCSP
• Using learnings from CSHGP
• CSHGP participated in MCSP workshops
• MCSP holding brownbags for CSHGP projects to
present findings
• Concern Sierra Leone’s Ebola experience
• WorldVision South Sudan’s newborn health experience
• MCSP country offices to attend CSGHP final
evaluation presentations
• MCSP producing briefs related to CSHGP
evaluations and operations research for
distribution in country
17. CSHGP and MCSP
• Cross country and cross-project learning
• Joint learning activities between CSHGP projects
and USAID Missions in Pakistan being planned
• Analysis in progress of iCCM experience across
two countries
• With EnCompass, analysis conducted of learning
themes across countries
18. In Summary
• Viable community health platforms are about
sustaining effective community health at scale
in changing environments
• NGOs and CSOs have been working at
community level for many years and have
proven strategies that can be adopted by
government programs at larger scale and in
sustainable manners
