Transparency is essential when deciding how to disburse funds. APC's subgranting aims to not just distribute money but also share resources and foster growth together.

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.

This document discusses a study analyzing corporate community investment practices among UK companies from 2001 to 2011. It examines how decisions are made regarding employee volunteering and corporate donations, what determines the choice between these two types of community investments, and how philanthropic practices disseminate. The study finds that decisions around corporate donations are more institutionalized and stable over time, while employee volunteering choices are more influenced by internal company factors like size. It also shows that while relationship and communication practices are similar for both donations and volunteering, there are distinct differences in levels of organizational commitment and resource investment between the two.

Customer-centric Culture
More Information:
https://flevy.com/browse/flevypro/customer-centric-culture-3831
The use of Internet and other online tools have turned consumers to be more empowered and are now shopping differently. Customers are becoming more demanding and accustomed to getting what they want. With greater access to reviews and online rating, customers are better equipped to switch to new products and services. Consumers now want to buy products and services when, where, and however they like. They expect companies to interact with them seamlessly, in an easy, integrated fashion with very little friction across channels.
As customer expectation continue to evolve – accelerated by the amplifying forces of interconnectivity and technology – markets are becoming increasingly fragmented with demand for greater product variety, more price points, and numerous purchasing and distribution channels.
Companies should be able to adapt to these increasingly disparate demands quickly and at scale. Staying close to the customer experience across an increasingly diverse customer base changing over time is no longer a matter of choice. It is a business imperative and a matter of corporate survival.
The Age of the Customer now calls for companies to be a customer-centric company. Successful ones have discovered that building a customer-centric company depends, first and foremost, on building a Customer-centric Culture.
This framework focuses on the building a Customer-centric Culture utilizing the Corporate Culture Framework. The Corporate Culture Framework is anchored on 4 Primary Cultural Attributes and 4 Secondary Cultural Attributes.
The 4 primary Cultural Attributes are critical in building a Customer-centric Culture.
1. Collective Focus
2. External Orientation
3. Change and Innovation
4. Shared Beliefs
Customer-centric organizations also project 4 secondary Cultural Attributes.
1. Risk and Governance
2. Courage
3. Commitment
4. Inclusion
Companies with a Customer-centric Culture can drive superior financial results and a rich source of competitive advantage.

Relational DAC Practices Project
Here are a few ideas for how we could work on this research agenda together:
- Divide up the literature to review - different team members could each take responsibility for synthesizing a few key areas like team effectiveness, collaboration, family systems, etc.
- Set up working sessions to come together periodically to share our findings, discuss connections to DAC, and identify gaps/new areas to explore
- Conduct interviews or focus groups with leaders in different contexts to learn what relational practices they use to increase direction, alignment and commitment in their organizations
- Develop case studies that illustrate how relational leadership plays out in various settings not well represented in existing research
- Create a matrix or map linking relational practices to leadership outcomes

Clear communication is necessary for meeting goals, growing networks, and maintaining transparency. Shared understanding between all parties streamlines the process and prevents misunderstandings from causing delays or unsatisfactory results. Regular communication ensures all stakeholders have their expectations aligned to facilitate successful outcomes.
Strenthening community networks in South Africa
The United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID), through its Digital Access Programme, provided support in 2018 for people in South Africa involved in community networks to attend the Third Summit on Community Networks in Africa, co-organised by the Association for Progressive Communications (APC) and the Internet Society.
In 2018, the summit was hosted by APC-member Zenzeleni Networks Non-Profit Company (NPC) and took place in Wild Lubanzi, South Africa. In total, 18 individuals were sponsored to participate in the summit thanks to DFID's support.
What follows is part of our effort to capture the activities, results and lessons learned from the Pilot Mentoring project. This pilot project was instrumental in designing the multi-year, multi-country project to enable community networks in Brazil, Indonesia, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa, which APC is implementing with funding from DFID.
Community networks in comics
It is not easy to explain the concepts behind community networks, both the technical characteristics of radio frequency networks and the social and human aspects of community technologies.
One of the principles we have developed in teaching technologies with a gendered perspective is language. Teaching a workshop for popular groups using colonizing terms and methodologies can increase the existing barrier between people and a technology that was not created for their interests.
With this in mind, images and analogies are powerful tools to make it easier to explain a technical term or an idea. We reject the premise that to do so would in any way underestimate people’s ability to understand technical matters. We believe that explaining concepts in a language that brings them closer to people and their realities is a form of resistance to the hegemonic, americanized, and patriarchal language in which technology is often taught.
This material is a partnership between Brazilian women, technologists and artists, with the collaboration of people working with community networks in various countries. Its purpose is to illustrate some of these images by blending technical terms such as 'line of sight' and 'mesh topology' with reflections on why we make community networks and the often invisible role of women within these initiatives.
Connecting the unconnected
Connecting the Unconnected: Supporting community networks and other community-based connectivity initiatives” is a project being implemented by APC in partnership with Rhizomatica that aims to directly support the development of community networks, with funds from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA)
The ultimate aim of the project is to contribute to an enabling ecosystem for the emergence and growth of community networks and other community-based connectivity initiatives in developing countries. It is part of a multi-year, multi-donor strategy envisaged to address the human capacity and sustainability challenges, along with the policy and regulatory obstacles that limit the growth of community-based internet connectivity initiatives.

analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
