The document summarizes a technical assistance project that partnered researchers from Georgia Southern University with four rural, African American communities. The project aimed to build community research capacity and address local health issues. A technical assistance coordinator served as a liaison between the communities and funders, providing training, coordination, and facilitation. Key lessons included the importance of clearly defining roles, collaborative planning and evaluation, open communication, addressing power dynamics, and practicing cultural humility. The project highlighted the value of community-based participatory research in empowering communities and promoting health equity.

Presentation by Elisa Scalise and Renee Giovarelli
Co-founders of Resource Equity
Global awareness of two land tenure issues--the importance of recognizing and promoting land rights for women and the problem of insecure collective land and resource tenure rights--is rising. The importance of managing collectively held land, both for those who use it and for the environment, has grown increasingly clear. In fact, studies have estimated that as much as 65 percent of the world’s land is held under collective tenure—customary, community-based tenure systems. Securing that tenure is important for protecting the rights of those communities, and has been shown to improve resource management.
However, efforts to secure community land tenure, generally through documenting and registering rights, are still new. In particular, to date, the conversation around securing collective rights to land has paid little attention to women’s rights, and the effects of formalizing the rights of the collective on women are not well studied. Focusing on securing collective land and resource rights without considering gender differences within communities has the potential to severely disadvantage women who are very often socially, economically, and politically excluded.
This report on gender issues and best practices in collective land tenure projects seeks to begin filling this gap, by taking a detailed look at how six collective tenure land projects addressed gender differences. The six case studies include projects in China, Ghana, India, Kyrgyzstan, Namibia, and Peru. The case studies are program assessments focusing primarily on how each project approached gender, what the gender-differentiated impacts have been in terms of project participation and benefits, and what lessons can be learned and best practices can be drawn from these projects.

Community mobilization - It is an attempt to bring both human and non-human resources together to undertake developmental activities in order to achieve sustainable development. Community mobilization is a process through which action is stimulated by a community itself, or by others, that is planned, carried out, and evaluated by a community's individuals, groups, and organizations on a participatory and sustained basis to improve the health, hygiene and education levels so as to enhance the overall standard of living in the community. A group of people have transcended their differences to meet on equal terms in order to facilitate a participatory decision-making process.
Resource mobilization - It is the process of getting resources from the resource provider, using different mechanisms, to implement an organization's predetermined goals. It deals in acquiring the needed resources in a timely, cost-effective manner. Resource mobilization advocates having the right type of resource at the right time at the right price by making the right use of acquired resources thus ensuring optimum usage of the same. Thus, resource mobilization could be seen as a combination between:
• Resources – elements necessary for the running of an organization.
• Mechanisms – means which make it possible to obtain resources directly.
• Partners – persons and/or institutions providing resources.
Thus resource mobilization may be defined as: a management process that involves identifying people who share the same values as your organization, and taking steps to manage that relationship.
The community-wide appreciative strategic planning initiative was designed around a positive inquiry approach that focuses on identifying strengths and opportunities to build commitment and momentum for change. It is based on the direct involvement of a broad representation of stakeholders and encourages participants to co-create the future of their organizations through collaboration, shared understanding and a commitment to actions. Usually the change that results from such process targets the implementation of short term and long-term strategic actions.

The description of the grant to be used in this paper includes the promotion and foster of community partnerships to reduce homelessness in various communities. In essence, the project is intended to engage both provincial and territorial government levels to join the effort of aligning homelessness investments and priorities with the ultimate goals and objectives to prevent and reduce the aspect of homelessness especially in many youths (Forchuk, 2018). To elaborate, the grant is a unique program based on community affairs with the ultimate goals of eliminating if not reducing homelessness issues within various communities. Moreover, the project is aimed to accomplish this by encouraging funders to directly provide their support and funds to about sixty designated communities across all territories and provinces that are possible to reach. The most appropriate hyperlink for identifying RFP is: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6054288/
One of the significant factors that make this grant to be worth and for one to gain the confidant of pursuing it is the fact that it has been witnessed working for other countries. For instance, the grant was implemented in Canada in 2011, where it served over three hundred projects and managed to raise over fifty-five million Canadian dollars. The funds were well utilized by focusing them on, especially youth and young adults of age fifteen to twenty-eight. Based on that, it is a potential grant that I believe if well managed it is worth to take the risk as it guarantees the reduction of homelessness.
For evaluation purposes, several questions were identified to assess whether the grant was aligned with the objectives and goals of eliminating or reducing the aspect homelessness in various communities within the country. Furthermore, there were designed questions that aimed at assessing the progress of the program in its implementation including coordination, communication, reporting, adherence to housing first principles, monitoring as well as an assessment of early outcomes of the grant.
In accomplishing all the necessary criteria that were required by the project, I utilized Bing as my search engine for the task.
The goals and objectives of the selected funding agency are to ensure that it provides all the necessary resources that can enable the non-profitable organizations with its purposes of fulfilling the intended impact towards the communities concerned. Besides, the agency is aimed at addressing the essential issues relating to homelessness of especially youths and young adults within different communities.
The primary reason for selecting the RFP is accompanied by the fact that commu ...

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.

2. Presenter Disclosure Kimberly M. Coleman The following personal financial relationships with commercial interests relevant to this presentation existed during the past 12 months: Consultant and Paid Contractor, W. K. Kellogg Foundation
3. The Purpose of New Tools, New Visions 2 To connect four rural GA communities surrounding Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) with faculty resources at Georgia Southern University to develop a community-based participatory research (CBPR) infrastructure to address issues of environmental health, violence, health equity, and social justice
4. Project Goals To develop the capacity of community residents to resolve identified problems and create change in public policy and quality of life using several public health-based strategies. To engage community residents and partners with researchers and/or HBCUs to develop solutions for each targeted community’s health issue among local residents.
5. Community Grantees Four Southern Georgia community organizations were selected after submitting proposals to the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. Harambee House, Inc. & Citizens for Environmental Justice

7. Purpose of the TAC Served as a liaison between the four grantee organizations and the WKKF project manager and provided educational and service-related coordination assistance. Community-Based Participatory Research Trainings Network Coordination Assistance Project Liaison (via monthly progress calls & scheduled site visits)
8. Purpose of the TAC (con’t) Grantee Meeting Facilitation NTNV2 Grantee Grant Writing Workshop NTNV2 Evaluation Team Collaboration
10. Strengths Weaknesses Grantees’ regular communication with funder via TAC TAC and Evaluation Team’s opportunity for dialogue. Network development and enhancement among grantees. No “lead” evaluator – only primary & secondary for each site. Grantees’ limited communication with Evaluation Team. Hierarchical design may not have been best model for project management.
11. Lessons Learned Role Delineation Planning, Implementation, Evaluation Communication Power/Control Cultural Humility
12. Role Delineation Clear roles, operating guidelines, and should be defined and agreed upon among support resources FIRST. Understand the organization or community structure and diagram it for all to see. Work with organization or community to delineate the roles and responsibilities of each.
13. Planning, Implementation, & Evaluation Conduct formal and informal needs assessments with the community. If TAC relationship relies on a strong rapport with the community, it will be necessary to be involved as an integral part of collaborative evaluation and vice-versa. There is valuable qualitative data there… ethnographic research. TAC must agree to adhere to organization’s/ community’s guiding principles and operating guidelines.
14. Communication Dialogue is REQUIRED Willingness to truly “listen” (No “already always listening”) Applies to everyone.
15. Power/Control Disagreement is a normal part of the process. However, inflexibility is likely to derail progress . Conflict resolution takes skill and courage. Sometimes, you have to call “foolishness” and internal destruction out for the cohesiveness of the organization/ community. Often, more control issues were observed among the academics than the community members. WIIFM?
16. Cultural Humility “In a democratic chronology, it’s important to have patience to get to know people, to be open, to create bonds of trust.” – Dr. Cornell West (Twitter® via HootSuite, 9/23/2010) Support community programs and interventions, when possible. Be authentic…
18. Is a TAC needed when conducting CBPR in the Black community? Yes. The degree of support will be directed by community 95% of time. Pledge to practice collaboration, accepting community members as research partners, a desire for advocacy, a professional commitment to social justice, and acceptance of power sharing in decision making throughout the research process.
19. Qualifications of a CBPR-TAC Training in AND experience in: Community organizing CBPR Conflict resolution Research ethics Good communication AND listening skills Congenial Authentic Management experience Event planning capability Flexibility
20. Final Thoughts… “Once social change begins it can not be reversed. You can not un-educate the person that has learned to read. You can not humiliate the person who feels pride. You can not oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.” Cesar Chavez

The ultimate purposes of the technical assistance coordinator (TAC) contracted to work with the NTNV2 grantees are to serve as a liaison between the four grantee organizations and the W. K. Kellogg Foundation (WKKF) project director, Terri D. Wright, MPH, and to provide educational and service-related coordination assistance to all grantee organizations. The primary roles and responsibilities of this position are related to the following: Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) – The TAC will provide targeted trainings related to the philosophy and strategies of CPBR, which empower the NTNV2 grantees to engage in this collaborative methodology throughout and beyond the life of this project. Coordination Assistance – The TAC will support and aid in linking the NTNV2 grantee organizations as they reach out to members and organizations within their local communities, between the other grantees, and with other resources as necessary. For required services and community capacity-building trainings outside of the TAC’s expertise, assistance will be provided to locate, organize, and schedule consultants to work with the grantees. Project Liaison – The TAC will serve as a stable point of contact between the W. K. Kellogg Foundation program director, Terri D. Wright, MPH, and the four NTNV2 grantees. Specific duties will include monthly progress calls with a point of contact from each grantee organization, scheduled grantee site visits (every other month), and monthly status calls with Ms. Wright. Monthly grantee progress calls: The TAC will follow-up with a grantee organization point of contact to ascertain the current progress toward their targeted objectives, answer any questions (or locate the answers, if not known) related to their goals and objectives, relay requests to the WKKF as necessary. Scheduled grantee site visits: The TAC will make an average of 6 annual site visits to each grantee to provide personal contacts with the grantee organizations in an effort to provide capacity-building trainings, as appropriate, determine additional needs to advance the likelihood of successful outcomes, visually document the progress made by grantees and achieved in their communities, and other grant-related observations identified by the WKKF. Monthly WKKF status calls: The TAC will follow-up with the WKKF program director to update her on the current progress and status of grantees toward their targeted objectives, attain answers to grantee questions, share requests for technical assistance outside the TAC’s scope of expertise, and discuss other needs and/or concerns related to the grantee projects. Grantee Meeting Facilitation – The TAC will assist with group meeting facilitation capacity building by providing some modeling activities personally, arranging facilitation skills training for grantee organization members, and/or bringing in a trained facilitator to assist with productive meeting sessions. NTNV2 Grantee Grant Writing Workshop – Based on review of the initial NTNV grantee proposals, a need for a grant writing workshop has been identified by the WKKF program director as part of the capacity-building goals. Therefore, the TAC will assist in the planning and coordination of this workshop for the grantee organizations. NTNV2 Evaluation Team Collaboration – Because formative and summative evaluations are part of the NTNV2 project, there will be some collaboration between the NTNV2 Evaluation Team to assess (and possibly develop additional) evaluation questions related to the application of CBPR principles and community capacity building among the grantees and to support cross-site learning.
The ultimate purposes of the technical assistance coordinator (TAC) contracted to work with the NTNV2 grantees are to serve as a liaison between the four grantee organizations and the W. K. Kellogg Foundation (WKKF) project director, Terri D. Wright, MPH, and to provide educational and service-related coordination assistance to all grantee organizations.

Scheduled grantee site visits: The TAC will make an average of 6 annual site visits to each grantee to provide personal contacts with the grantee organizations in an effort to provide capacity-building trainings, as appropriate, determine additional needs to advance the likelihood of successful outcomes, visually document the progress made by grantees and achieved in their communities, and other grant-related observations identified by the WKKF. Monthly WKKF status calls: The TAC will follow-up with the WKKF program director to update her on the current progress and status of grantees toward their targeted objectives, attain answers to grantee questions, share requests for technical assistance outside the TAC’s scope of expertise, and discuss other needs and/or concerns related to the grantee projects. Grantee Meeting Facilitation – The TAC will assist with group meeting facilitation capacity building by providing some modeling activities personally, arranging facilitation skills training for grantee organization members, and/or bringing in a trained facilitator to assist with productive meeting sessions. NTNV2 Grantee Grant Writing Workshop – Based on review of the initial NTNV grantee proposals, a need for a grant writing workshop has been identified by the WKKF program director as part of the capacity-building goals. Therefore, the TAC will assist in the planning and coordination of this workshop for the grantee organizations. NTNV2 Evaluation Team Collaboration – Because formative and summative evaluations are part of the NTNV2 project, there will be some collaboration between the NTNV2 Evaluation Team to assess (and possibly develop additional) evaluation questions related to the application of CBPR principles and community capacity building among the grantees and to support cross-site learning.
