Issues and Challenges of a Community Scientist at KVK and Way ForwardManoj Sharma
Community scientists at KVKs play an important role but often face challenges like lack of motivation, freedom, and technical support. They are responsible for conducting surveys, demonstrations, trainings, developing extension materials, and coordinating with other organizations. However, their work often lacks visibility and recognition. To address these issues, community scientists should practice effective knowledge management by converting data into information and applying it wisely using appropriate technologies. They can conduct surveys to collect baseline data and document best practices. Demonstrations and trainings can be evaluated for their effectiveness in improving skills and adoption. Reports should track metrics like participation levels and outreach. With better time management, prioritization, documentation, and linkages between research and extension, the work
Capacity building on ‘ecohealth’ in Southeast Asia – successes and challengesILRI
To address current challenges related to disease emergences in livestock and humans, new integrated approaches are needed to promote collaboration between involved actors and groups towards more effective control. Southeast Asia is considered a hotspot for diseases emergence as demonstrated with Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Such new approaches include the ‘ecohealth’ (EH) concept, an approach pioneered over the last decades by the International Development Research Centre, Canada (IDRC).
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.
