DEFRA: Localism and Big Society
The document discusses localism and the Big Society agenda in rural communities in England. It notes that rural areas have higher levels of civic engagement and volunteerism compared to urban areas. An estimated £3 billion worth of community assets are run by local volunteers in rural villages. The Localism Bill aims to empower local communities through measures like neighborhood planning, community rights, and decentralizing decision making. Parish and town councils are seen as important leaders and enablers for rural communities to take advantage of the new localism policies. Upcoming government initiatives like a rural growth review and rural statement will further impact rural areas.
Civic Strengths Index
- The document aims to develop a definition of civic strength, understand its contributing domains in London, measure its distribution, and support the Building Strong Communities mission.
- It creates a Civic Strength Index framework measuring relationships/social capital, democratic engagement, and public/social infrastructure to provide a new lens for understanding community strengths.
- The index identifies data gaps that need filling to have a complete picture of civic strength distribution across London and support areas of opportunity.
Local Government Commission 2030
The APSE Local Government Commission 2030 report makes recommendations to revitalize and strengthen local government in the UK over the next decade. It calls for (1) enshrining local government's role and powers in a new constitutional settlement, (2) devolving more powers and services to local control through new Devolution Bills, and (3) establishing a long-term, sustainable funding model to ensure local authorities have sufficient resources to meet community needs. The report is based on extensive consultation and aims to address issues like inadequate funding, lack of democratic accountability, and workforce challenges facing local government.
W7 making the most of an older population - chair's remark
Local governments face financial challenges that require new approaches to serving an aging population. Two local councils, Manchester and Leeds, are developing innovative programs. Manchester's "Valuing Older People" work systematically involves older adults. Leeds' "Neighbourhood Networks" empower older community members to build local capacity from the bottom up. These examples could provide models for harnessing older adults' contributions to address the needs of an aging society.
Day 1 Workshop - Peter Holbrook
There are approximately 80,000 social enterprises in the UK that contribute more than £24 billion to the economy and employ over 1 million people. Social enterprises operate in many sectors, from health and social care to renewable energy and housing. They are started through various means such as entrepreneurship, charities expanding services, or communities coming together to provide local services. Examples of social enterprises are given around joint working, co-commissioning, and how they respond to issues like the gig economy and employment insecurity.
Community engagement in the extractive industries in mongolia
The document discusses community engagement perspectives from the World Bank regarding Mongolia's extractive industries sector. It notes Mongolia's transition to democracy and booming mineral sector. It defines community engagement as building civil society capacity and spaces for community participation. Currently in Mongolia, there is a lack of trust and collaboration between communities and companies/government. The World Bank supports various activities to strengthen community engagement, including forums, reporting, dispute resolution, and grants for civil society organizations.

This document outlines a strategy to promote accessibility and inclusion of people with disabilities in Belarus. It notes that over 500,000 people with disabilities face barriers in everyday life and are not fully integrated into society due to a lack of accessibility. The target audience is identified as politicians and other decision makers who can influence laws and policies. The challenge is framed as an economic one, arguing that a lack of inclusion costs the country opportunities and potential workers. The proposed strategy is to advocate for investments in accessibility and people with disabilities by emphasizing the economic benefits, like how every $1 spent on inclusion in the US returns $25 to the federal budget. A combination of direct meetings, informational events, and lobbying are suggested to reach the target audience

ND11: digital by default & social housing helen milner 12 may2011
The document discusses moving social housing providers to delivering services digitally by default. It notes that currently 70% of social housing tenants are not online, including many elderly people and those with lower incomes or education. The document suggests that with help and access, around 30% of offline tenants could start using online services, while 10% may still need alternative options. It argues that a digital approach could save money while improving services, if offline tenants are assisted to get online and advocacy is provided for the benefits of digital services.

Lutwama Muhammed, How Can Microfinance Contribute to Restoring Dignity and Tr...Microcredit Summit Campaign
This document discusses how microfinance can help restore dignity and transform lives in urban slums in Uganda. It outlines key facts about Uganda's urbanization and growth of slums. It then describes ACTogether's approach, which includes grassroots organization, research and advocacy, securing land and housing, community-managed funds, and exchanges. This approach supports community savings groups, tenure security, housing models, and partnerships between communities and government. It argues that microfinance institutions should offer affordable loans and support local initiatives led by urban poor communities.IUPP Overview
The document discusses the Institute for Urban Public Policy and its goal of connecting research, policy, and practice to empower people stuck in generational poverty. It argues that most social programs operate under a "charity assumption" that people cannot help themselves, which has a negative impact and fails to empower people. Instead, work should transition to economic development and the assumption that people can liberate themselves when empowered. The policy agenda is to move from social services to economic development by providing real economic opportunities to achieve self-sufficiency and grow the local economy.
A-Shareholders-Guide-to-Rural-Services
This document provides an overview of a report by the Carnegie UK Trust on rural services and engaging communities in service delivery. It discusses the challenges rural areas face in accessing services due to centralization and budget cuts. It advocates for rural communities to have a role in determining what services are provided and moving away from viewing residents as passive recipients. The report examines examples of successful community involvement from the Trust's rural action research. It stresses the need for public sector organizations to work collaboratively and engage communities to develop innovative solutions to delivering services.
Public Service
The document discusses issues with public services in Indonesia, including low quality, bureaucratic problems, and unclear systems. It notes criticisms that services are slow, expensive, closed, and discriminatory. Suggestions are made to improve transparency and consistency in public services through better information delivery between government units and the community.
Devon Rural ICT Hubs
The document discusses issues facing rural communities in Devon and a vision for improving digital inclusion. Key issues include the loss of local services, lack of transportation, and an aging population. Younger workers lack ICT skills while many older adults face difficulties using technology. The proposal is to create local ICT hubs in village halls to provide access to online services, learning resources, and video conferencing to connect residents and address isolation issues. The goal is for all residents to have access to local support and tools to engage with their communities.

This PPT delivered to Scholars of Indian School of Public Policy presents various rational behind and theories of urban governance.
Creative Commissioning
The document discusses public sector procurement and how it can be used to support social enterprises. It provides examples of influences on procurement, such as using it to encourage equal opportunities and employ long-term unemployed individuals. The document also notes trends in large, complex contracts that favor large businesses and pose barriers for social enterprises. Finally, it discusses different ways public bodies can structure purchasing relationships to support social enterprise models through contracting, granting, joint ventures, and equity shares.
Public Services - from ideas to actions
This document summarizes discussions around evolving public services in Wales to be more citizen-centered over the past decade. It outlines reports from 2004, 2006, and 2014 that call for collaboration, prevention, and delivering services with rather than to citizens. While there is consensus on these ideas, challenges remain around sharing power, investing long-term with short-term demands, and building community resilience with scarce resources. Cutting third sector funding that supports people and communities can damage services, though the sector receives little money. Accelerating change may require new engagement approaches, recognizing the third sector role, and investing in disadvantaged communities. The conference aims to further develop these ideas and discuss examples of working differently.
Williamson Keynote
The document discusses how digital technologies can help re-engage citizens in democracy by reducing barriers to participation, but that there are also challenges to consider, such as lack of skills, access, and motivation. It argues that partnerships between government and civil society are needed to realize the transformative potential of digital media and bring citizens back to the center of democracy.
Challenge and change - the state of the sector
The document discusses challenges facing the charity sector in Wales, including a 21% reduction in funding from the Welsh Government since 2009. It argues for a new vision of "doing it together" where public services in Wales treat people and communities as equal partners in design and delivery. This approach would build services around individuals and neighborhoods, and unlock local resources to combine with state funding.
Empowerment through partnership clps summer school nk
The document discusses plans for the "Big Society" initiative in the UK, which aims to empower communities and reduce bureaucracy. It proposes abolishing some government organizations that don't meet transparency standards. It also plans to make it easier for charities to operate, incentivize social investment, support neighborhood groups, and celebrate social action. However, major funding cuts to local authorities will significantly affect support for voluntary organizations and vulnerable communities.
Cities and metropolitan governance
The document discusses tools and principles for effective metropolitan governance. It notes that metropolitan areas represent around 60% of GDP and employment in OECD countries, and are major drivers of national economic growth. However, metropolitan areas can also be highly unequal internally. Effective metropolitan governance requires addressing functional urban areas beyond administrative boundaries, as higher administrative fragmentation is associated with lower productivity and greater inequality. While governance structures vary across countries, almost two-thirds of OECD metropolitan areas have some form of metropolitan governance body. Key principles for effective metropolitan governance include implementing projects to encourage collaboration, ensuring reliable financing, and establishing monitoring and evaluation.

Good governance
The document discusses several issues facing major cities like Beijing and proposes solutions. It addresses problems like pollution from industry, overcrowded transportation systems, high population density leading to increased costs of living and poverty. It argues that good governance requires citizen participation in decision making, transparency, and following rule of law. Letting citizens engage in the process can help address transportation and environmental challenges more effectively.
The music industry & audiences
The document discusses the music industry and audiences in the 1970s and 2000s. In the 1970s, subcultures like hip hop, disco, punk rock, and skinhead youth culture emerged. The sexual revolution and films like Saturday Night Fever contributed to controversies around disco music. Punk rock emerged as a radical rejection of pop music. In the 2000s, subcultures included emo music and post-punk rock. New technologies like Napster, MP3s, iPods, blogs, and YouTube challenged the music industry business model and led to the industry's decline as people moved away from buying CDs.
Backwell PC Dec11
The document discusses the opportunities and impacts of localism for first-tier local governments in rural areas. It introduces the West of England Rural Network, which supports rural communities. Localism gives rural communities new powers over planning, housing, infrastructure projects and more.

Ch22 intro to plant
Plants evolved from green algae. Mosses were the first plants and developed ways to stick to the ground. Mosses with tall bits developed into stems, but needed a way to transport water to the highest cells, so they evolved pipes. Roots then evolved to support the tippy stems and provide water. Waxy skin developed to prevent water loss in plants. Flowers later evolved which were beneficial for reproduction. Plants are classified based on their seeds and vascular tissue.

How customer insight helps us make informed decisions presentation
The document discusses how customer insight helps local governments make informed decisions in the current context of deficit reduction, localism, self-regulation and improvement, and the Big Society initiative. It notes that governments face tough funding cuts, requiring services cuts beyond efficiency savings. Local governments need robust, reliable data reflecting communities to make evidence-based decisions understanding citizens and their needs, challenges, and resources. Local governments have expertise in customer insight programs, new delivery models, and community budgets to shape services and priorities around engaging communities, joining up resources, simplifying processes, targeting scarce resources, and enabling self-service.

It notes that governments face tough funding cuts, requiring services cuts beyond efficiency measures. Local governments need robust, reliable data that reflects communities to make evidence-based decisions.

Their priorities are to communicate, share resources, engage communities, simplify processes, target scarce resources and enable self-service.
(179) citizenship council (august 2011)
1. The document discusses the concept of citizenship and argues that the current welfare system undermines citizenship by making people passive recipients rather than giving them rights and responsibilities.
2. It notes that Barnsley has already led the way in shifting power to local people through personalization and partnership between services and citizens.
3. The document proposes establishing a Citizenship Council to clarify local rights and duties, define universal free services, extend individual budgets, and give local communities more decision-making power. However, it acknowledges that significant challenges exist due to the centralized UK system.
Jim Diers - presentatie op LPB congres 2014
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.
Community involvement
This document discusses concepts related to community involvement and empowerment. It provides definitions of community engagement from different sources, highlighting both top-down and balanced approaches. It notes that community engagement assumes communities are agreed on their needs and can communicate them rationally, which may not always be the case. Effective community governance principles include recognizing contributions from public, private and voluntary organizations. Critical thinking is important for community practice to avoid simplistic assumptions about communities.
Living Villages 1 - Localism and the Big Society

Emerging Strategies of Zimbabwe's Urban Poor: The Work of the Zimbabwe Homele...Global Development Institute
The document summarizes the strategies of Zimbabwe's urban poor for securing housing and livelihoods. It discusses how the Zimbabwe Homeless People's Federation and Dialogue on Shelter organize communities to collect savings, map settlements, and partner with local authorities to negotiate for land and infrastructure. Through community-led enumerations, profiling of settlements, and land audits, the Federation makes the needs of the urban poor visible and advocates for tenure security. Their grassroots approach focuses on community skills-building, experimentation, and incremental development.A-Charter-for-Rural-Communities
The document outlines a vision for vibrant and sustainable rural communities of the future. It identifies 10 key characteristics these communities would display, including optimizing assets, achieving fairness, empowering local governance, and supporting a dynamic local economy. For each characteristic, ideas for action are proposed based on examples of good practice seen in UK and Irish communities. The actions aim to build capacity, enhance community assets, and realize participative community planning to support rural communities in dealing with challenges and grasping opportunities.

Localising Power, Empowering Citizens, Building Communities
The document discusses the UK government's goals of decentralization, localism, and empowering communities through the "Big Society" initiative. It aims to devolve power to local levels by lifting bureaucracy, increasing community control over public finances, diversifying public service providers, making government more transparent, and strengthening local accountability. New powers for communities include the right to challenge or take over public services and buildings, neighborhood planning, and a Big Society Bank to fund social enterprises. The initiative seeks to give citizens more opportunities to get involved in their communities and more influence over local decisions and services.
Social inclusion 1
This document discusses strategies for promoting social inclusion at both the national and local levels. It outlines several initiatives that can be taken to bring socially excluded groups into the labor market and community. These include creating new jobs, providing training and childcare, developing affordable housing, strengthening community support networks, and ensuring access to information and advice. The key is adopting an integrated and multi-sector approach that treats excluded people as resources, involves them in the process, and promotes sustainability at the local level through capacity building and developing community assets.
Responding to Northamptonshire's Bankruptcy
Dr Simon Duffy of the Centre for Welfare Reform explains how the bankruptcy of Northamptonshire County Council has been triggered by austerity, but was built on hyper-centralisation, privatisation and the failure of the commissioning model. He argues that its people need to head upstream to develop better social solutions and it needs more devolution of power and genuine democratic reform.

Plain action localism
- 1. Plain Action PMG 14th July 2011 Localism The impact and opportunities for Rural Communities
- 2. “There's nothing milk and honey about localism. There's nothing easy about it – there's no guidance manual. That isn't really the point. Localism won't deliver homogenous, bland, uniform public services. This is about pushing power outwards, downwards as far as possible. And all the possibilities that arise from local communities seizing power themselves. And taking on the responsibilities and the consequences of getting things right and getting them wrong.” The Rt Hon Eric Pickles MP - Localism and the public services revolution 15 June 2011 http://www.communities.gov.uk/speeches/corporate/localism
- 14. Issues for Rural Communities • Centralisation or just premature – significant aspects to be delivered through secondary regulation • Sustainable development – how to ensure growth and protect the environment • Strategic v. localism – between national and local government and local government and communities • Entrepreneurship v. inclusion – impact of articulate communities and articulate voices within a community • Empowering v. moribund parish councils – should they have a privileged position in this? • Cost, cost and more costs....... Who pays?
- 15. Sustainable Development Rural Policy Statement
- 16. Choice – wherever possible we will increase choice Decentralisation – Power should be decentralised to the lowest appropriate level Diversity – Public services should be open to a range of providers Fairness – We will ensure fair access to public services Accountability – Public services should be accountable to users and taxpayers. http://www.openpublicservices.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/
