The document advocates for an integrated approach using microfinance to create health solutions through partnerships while targeting the ultra-poor.
What has been the role of social enterprise in the MENA region, in creating jobs for people affected by the Syria conflict?
This presentation, by Angela Solomon, examines some aspects of social entrepreneurship in (mainly) Lebanon and Jordan, from a gender perspective. Five qualitative case studies, and a review of three types of enabling organisations, highlight some ‘bright spots’ in integrating a business-minded but values-driven approach to job creation.
The presentation acknowledges that a lack of reliable data prevents us from drawing quantitative conclusions at this stage. It argues (a) for better standard-setting and data capture of social enterprise, and (b) for social enterprises and governments/donors/humanitarian actors to make themselves more relevant to each other in order to enhance the contribution of social enterprise to the Syria refugee response.
This slide show was originally delivered by Angela Solomon at the annual conference of the British Society for Middle Eastern Studies (BRISMES), on 6 July 2017.

Cindy Melemo from Botswana presented on including marginalized communities in product development. Marginalized communities include women, people with disabilities, LGBTQIA individuals, those in poverty, and racial/cultural minorities. An ideal inclusive community allows all groups to participate without prejudice. To include marginalized communities, representatives should be involved in research, products should be tested with these groups, and their voices heard in upgrades. Partnerships between private/non-profit sectors can help bridge gaps. Inclusion and acceptance of feedback are important.

The document discusses building partnerships between government and community. It outlines two approaches: agency services which are top-down and focus on needs, and burgerkracht which empowers citizens and focuses on community strengths. Communities face crises like single-use zoning and increased mobility that reduce social connections. The government's role includes providing basic services while ensuring rights, but true partnerships require moving beyond top-down approaches and silos to empowering communities and supporting their priorities. Steps include funding community-driven projects, removing bureaucratic barriers, and building capacity through leadership training and networking forums. Success is measured not just by numbers but also by stronger, self-sufficient communities.
It’s easier than you think to hide in plain sight. To be everywhere and nowhere. To become so ingrained in the fabric of a city, an economy, a world, that you are both integral to a place, and on its fringes.
The informal workforce often falls into this “in between”– the woman selling mangoes on the side of the road; the domestic worker sweeping the drive with a quiet focus; the young man picking through yesterday’s garbage in the pre-dawn darkness, a clank of a can the only indicator of his presence.
While the lives of informal workers may differ depending on country, culture and profession, the ambitions and desires of these individuals are universal.

Capacity-based approaches to civic engagement for colleges and universitiesMinnesota Campus Comapct
The document discusses capacity-based approaches to civic engagement for colleges and universities. It advocates focusing on community assets rather than deficiencies by discovering individuals' gifts and talents. A capacity-based approach reinforces social justice principles by developing respect for the community and shifting from research-driven to community-driven outcomes. It suggests colleges can take capacity inventories, connect community assets, support association networks, and apply a community lens to campus operations to strengthen civic engagement.
The document discusses poverty and goals to eliminate it by 2015. It defines poverty as the inability to afford basic needs like clean water, healthcare, and education. Approximately 1.2 billion people live on less than $1.25 per day. The Millennium Development Goals, including Goal 8 which was signed by 189 world leaders, aim to address issues like poverty. Organizations like Kiva provide loans to help small businesses and lift people out of poverty. The document argues that all countries must work together to fight poverty and support anti-poverty organizations in order to achieve the goal of making poverty history by 2015.

The goal is to create a sustainable process where veterans and residents improve their community by tapping into existing knowledge and abilities.
This document summarizes a talk given by Dr. Simon Duffy on the topic of personalization. It discusses where the concept of personalization came from, potential reasons to be cynical about it, and reasons for optimism. On the cynical side, it notes that personalization may not be the right term, governments could make people poorer, and bureaucracies and centralized control can undermine personal control over support. However, it also says that personalization has the potential to work well, promote citizenship, be more efficient, and fulfilling if implemented correctly with the right supports. The document concludes that personalization aligns with social work's goals of enabling social justice by empowering others rather than doing for them.

This document summarizes a presentation on understanding social change in the context of international development projects. It discusses key questions to consider when analyzing how social change occurs, such as who or what was involved in the change and what strategies were used. It also covers different theories that can help explain policy change. The document emphasizes that understanding the local context and ensuring community ownership are important for development projects to be successful and sustainable. It promotes using interdisciplinary lenses and considering both short and long-term factors when evaluating projects.
This document discusses the definition and types of communication. It defines communication as the act of expressing ideas through spoken or written means. It also describes the three types of communication: intrapersonal communication which occurs within oneself; interpersonal communication between two individuals; and public communication between an individual and a large group. The document emphasizes that communication is a dynamic process involving both content and relational messages.
The document discusses how to build and sustain online communities, noting that communities emerge from connected people interacting via shared passions. It provides advice on understanding the potential for a community around a topic, preparing the ground by accepting shared control, and letting the community grow organically while providing support through events, content, and networking opportunities. The key is facilitating the community rather than directly managing it.
The document discusses the importance of community service for both the individual and the community. It states that community service helps to build and improve communities by giving people compassion and understanding for the world around them. When people volunteer for projects they are passionate about, it allows them to donate as much of their time as they are able. Community service also brings a nation together and creates a sense of responsibility in people to help others. While many problems exist in the world, community service gives individuals a sense of purpose and a chance to improve their community. It is a rewarding experience that also looks good on a resume. Overall, community service benefits both those receiving assistance and those who participate.
