What are the Political and
Institutional Conditions
Necessary for Effective
Poverty Reduction for
Persons with Disabilities in
Liberia?

Power of Partnership: Research to alleviate poverty
Delhi
3 December 2018

Our journey from research to impact…
How does multidimensional poverty affects wellbeing among
individuals with disabilities and their families in Liberia both
within the household and compared to their non-disabled
counterparts?
• Quantitative household survey (2,020 respondents)
comparing the responses of persons with disabilities
to their nondisabled peers in five counties
(Montserrado, Lofa, Cape Mount, Grand Bassa and
Sinoe) to understand inter- and intra-household
dynamics of poverty and disability
• 22 focus group discussions with persons with
disabilities, as well as six with Ebola survivors, to
compare the experiences during the Ebola outbreak of
2014-2015.
• Over 30 key informant interviews of community
leaders, government officials and other stakeholders
in the five counties.
• Analysis of disability inclusion in national policies and
legislations

Key findings cont…
Lack of trust in state institutions, which
results in lack of expectation around
state support, particularly regarding the
rights and responsibilities of the state
towards older adults and women.
Persons with disabilities who are not
HOH are often politically disengaged,
perpetuating marginalisation and
exclusion -
Persons with disabilities – particularly
women with disabilities –experience
higher risk of crime and insecurity

Impact…
• University of Liberia – student
population; research interest and
capacity building
• Input into UNDP National Disability
Action Plan and Universal Periodic
Review (UPR)
• Proposal to GATES/MISK on Youth,
TVET and sports as a result of
partnership opportunities.
• Input into research publications

What would you do differently?
• More mechanisms for sustainability – links between partners facilitated
impact, but there could be increased opportunities to actively engage with
research processes (but may need additional funding, e.g. to undertake
post-research impact and engagement activities in-country)
• Getting findings into practice as well as policy
• Stronger links to broader issues of discrimination and exclusion

This document summarizes a research project conducted by Dr. Maria Kett of the Leonard Cheshire Disability and Inclusive Development Centre and Mr. Richard Ngafuan of the University of Liberia. The project aims to understand poverty among persons with disabilities in Liberia through mixed methods research including policy review, secondary data analysis, and a survey of 1,200 households. The research is conducted in partnership with organizations of persons with disabilities in Liberia and intends to directly involve persons with disabilities in the research process and identify ways to improve their inclusion and social protection. The project expects to contribute to developing evidence on inclusive development and identify best practices to alleviate poverty and exclusion of persons with disabilities.

WASH Talk Podcast Episode 8: Delivering Gender Positive

IRC

This document summarizes an interview with Gabrielle Halcrow from SNV about delivering gender positive WASH outcomes. Some key points discussed include undertaking research to understand gender barriers, focusing on women's participation beyond just the community level, and addressing challenges such as lack of women in leadership roles. It is also noted that monitoring frameworks need to include relevant gender indicators in order to properly track SDG progress and influence decision makers regarding the importance of gender equality in WASH programs.

The Future of Community -based Services and Education

Vanessa Coleman

This document discusses anticipated changes to community-based services and education over the next 15 years. It notes that the population is aging rapidly and becoming more diverse. Technology will change how services are delivered through new methods of interaction, content delivery, and accessibility devices. Funding challenges will remain constant even as needs grow. Laws and regulations will continue to determine funding and quality standards, requiring advocacy from those who work with seniors. The conclusion emphasizes that an aging population should not be viewed negatively, but as an opportunity for knowledge sharing and intergenerational support through community involvement.

This document presents a framework for preventing violence against women using an ecological approach. It discusses primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention strategies. Evidence shows that key determinants of violence include unequal power between men and women, rigid gender roles and stereotypes, and broader cultures of violence. The framework aims to embed gender equity by addressing these determinants at the individual, community, organization, and societal levels. It promotes respect across different settings like workplaces, government, education, and media. The framework will be reviewed to assess its effectiveness over the last 6 years and updated to meet current needs.

Balancing Work and Learning: Implications for Low-Income Students

The future of community based services and education v4

Kerry Ann Anderson

Community-based education will be heavily influenced by increases in technology, globalization, population trends, and diversity. Key changes will include the transformation of education through online learning, expansion of communities through global connectivity, and increased access through initiatives to reduce the "digital divide". Meeting future needs will require greater collaboration between public and private sectors to find funding resources and serve aging and diverse populations.

Community based education

lovejm19

The document discusses the need for increased community-based services and education programs to support the growing aging population. As people live longer, more older adults will require additional assistance that community programs can provide. Key considerations for expanding these programs include the rising number of older adults, lower income families needing affordable options, and growing demand for non-traditional education approaches. Sufficient funding from government, community organizations, and private sources will be needed to meet this rising community need.

The document discusses aging populations in disadvantaged urban areas, using Manchester, England as a case study. Manchester has an aging population due to economic decline in the 1970s-1980s. Its aging population faces higher rates of poverty, illness, and disability than other areas. Initiatives in Manchester aim to make it a more age-friendly city and address inequalities faced by older residents, through programs focused on health, social activities, community involvement, and mainstreaming aging issues. The Manchester approach coordinates local networks and partnerships across sectors to improve quality of life for older citizens.

Power of partnership conference: Poster: Bridging the Gap

The Impact Initiative

The document summarizes a research project examining disability and development in four African countries: Kenya, Sierra Leone, Uganda, and Zambia. The research aimed to understand how socioeconomic development impacts people with disabilities in domains like education, health, employment, and social protection. The key findings were that (1) a disability-development gap exists even where inclusion policies are in place, and this gap tends to widen as development increases, risking people with disabilities being left behind; (2) this gap also exists at the household level, where people with disabilities may be disadvantaged compared to other household members; and (3) existing policies lack implementation and accountability mechanisms, limiting their effectiveness in reducing inequities.

To fully address dropout and disconnected youth issues, the document recommends that cities implement early warning systems, engage stakeholders to set high expectations, and create multiple pathways to graduation. It also suggests short-term federal job creation funding for local governments and long-term policies around roles of federal, state, and local actors; multiple graduation options; and bridge programs for youth transitioning to adulthood. The document provides resources on local programs, policy analyses, and recommendations available on the National League of Cities website.

Race and Education 2012

EqualitySW_Legacy

The document discusses how the changing political landscape in the UK under the coalition government may negatively impact racial equality and opportunities for black and minority ethnic (BME) students. Key changes include public spending cuts, welfare reforms, and a shift towards localism that could reduce protections for marginalized groups. There are also concerns about reduced enforcement of equality laws and a diminished focus on race under the new "equality strategy". The implications for BME students may include fewer support services, more barriers to education and employment, and less safe and inclusive environments in schools and colleges. The document advocates for colleges to take proactive measures to promote inclusion and support for BME students.

Linking volunteering and social mobility: New departure or false start

NCVO - National Council for Voluntary Organisations

This seminar was the third in a series of seminars focusing on volunteering in a fair society organised by IVR in partnership with the ESRC and Northumbria University. This event explored how individuals and communities can most effectively make their voices heard. In this presentation Dr Susan Baines (Reader in social policy) discusses the link between volunteering and social mobility.

Minority groups remain underrepresented in STEM fields despite increases in female and disabled students pursuing STEM degrees. As hubs of learning and community leaders, colleges are well-positioned to promote inclusion. By partnering with K-12 schools and community organizations, colleges can encourage access to higher education for minority groups and drive social change. Providing scholarships for local minority students, collaborations between minority-serving and research institutions, and other strategies used by the National Science Foundation can help make diversity and inclusion in STEM a reality.

POLS7050 - Unequal treatment of the disabled 10406697 & 10428755

Patrick Wong

The document analyzes the treatment of disabled people in Hong Kong policies and society based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. It finds that resources are currently focused on social and esteem needs but not enough on physiological, safety, and security needs. It recommends increasing funding, education, employment opportunities, and legal protections for disabled people. An optimal level of support is needed rather than too little or too much. The government, society, and laws all need reforms to better accommodate disabled individuals and achieve an integrated society.

This document summarizes a study on youth engagement in Liberia conducted by Search for Common Ground, American University, and Liberian partners. Over 1,000 Liberian youth across 15 counties were interviewed to understand their priorities and perspectives. Key themes that emerged were: (1) education, with youth facing physical and social barriers to accessing education; (2) health, with insufficient infrastructure compromising health; (3) livelihoods, as youth struggle to meet work, school, and other demands with limited skills training opportunities; (4) politics and governance, where youth expressed mixed views of leadership; and (5) infrastructure, where development is needed to support other sectors. The study aims to inform policy by elevating

Dropping off the Edge 2015

FRSA Communications

The document summarizes key findings from the "Dropping off the Edge 2015" report on location-based disadvantage in Australia. It discusses how disadvantage is concentrated in specific communities and impacts families through issues like unemployment, domestic violence and low education. It also highlights the importance of social cohesion in building community resilience and dampening the effects of disadvantage. The organizations advocate for a long-term, place-based approach involving communities to address entrenched disadvantage in the most vulnerable locations.

Swk100 Safeguarding self and vulnerable others

Tim Curtis

The document discusses the evolution of safeguarding policies from a focus on protection to a broader concept of safeguarding for both children and vulnerable adults. It explores the social and political context driving these changes, and the role and responsibilities of volunteers in ensuring proper safeguarding measures like training, supervision, and reporting procedures are followed to protect both those being served and the volunteers themselves. Critics argue the term "safeguarding" has become too broad and professionals unclear on who to target for interventions.

LINKAGES

This document summarizes a panel discussion on improving data collection to address structural barriers to HIV care for key populations. The panel discusses the need for data on enabling environmental factors like availability, coverage, and quality of health interventions as well as structural interventions. Specific indicators are proposed for collecting data on enabling factors like relevant laws and policies, involvement of key populations in policymaking, and support services. The panelists then discuss what additional data on structural barriers are still needed, how to better collect this data, and how to use the data to improve HIV services for key populations.

The document discusses the development of an information literacy strategy for Scotland. It summarizes the work of the Scottish Information Literacy Project from 2004-2010 and the subsequent Right Information Community of Practice established in 2012 to advance information literacy. It notes some of the challenges in separating digital literacy from information literacy in the eyes of policymakers and the need to demonstrate the impact of information literacy initiatives through pilot testing and experimentation.

Promoting Sexual Health Final Presentation

Lindsey Lewis

This document summarizes a research project proposal on promoting sexual health for individuals with intellectual disabilities. It finds that this population faces barriers to sexual education, risks of exploitation and health issues, and restrictions on their rights. The proposal recommends: 1) Implementing sex education programs for clients to increase knowledge and healthy behaviors. 2) Educating caregivers to reduce stigma and discuss clients' sexuality. 3) Advocating for clearer policies to prevent discrimination and support clients' sexual wellbeing through review of agency policies, rallies, and collaborative advocacy efforts. An evaluation plan includes testing clients and caregivers before and after interventions to measure changes in behaviors, attitudes, and knowledge.

Survey of Londoners - 1

Noel Hatch

Barry Fong, Principal Social Policy Analyst at the Greater London Authority (GLA) will take us through the Survey of Londoners 2021-22. Conducted at the end of 2021, so just before the full effects of the cost-of-living crisis began to set in, it was commissioned to provide vital evidence on key social outcomes for Londoners, following the onset of COVID-19 and associated restrictions. A similar survey was conducted in 2018-19, so this survey would show how things had changed in the capital since then. Barry will go through some of the key findings from the survey before handing over to Michael Cheetham and Ellen Bloomer from the North East London Integrated Care Board, who collaborated with local authority partners to fund a sample boost for the survey within North East London. They will explain how they used the data, including the analyses, the results and how this impacted strategy and practice.

This document summarizes a presentation on a WHO-IPU initiative to engage parliamentarians in mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on efforts to end child marriage. It notes that COVID-19 is expected to disrupt plans and increase economic hardship, resulting in over 13 million additional child marriages by 2030. The initiative aims to work with parliamentarians to ensure continued investment and action on child marriage programs in 12 priority countries during the pandemic. Parliamentarians can advocate for laws and policies, support SDG implementation, ensure accountability, and collaborate with others. The WHO-IPU memorandum of understanding recognizes their shared goals of bridging science and policy to achieve health and development targets.

Evidence and the SDGs

Dr. Ebele Mogo

The document discusses using research to promote the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It provides an overview of projects conducted by Dr. Ebele Mogo to apply research on Canadian children with disabilities. These include rapid reviews and policy dialogues in British Columbia to identify priority areas and engage stakeholders. Other projects include a scoping review on interventions for childhood disability and a systematic review on inclusive leisure participation. The document reflects on challenges in bridging research and the SDGs and fostering ecosystems for knowledge co-production to drive action.

Media for development

Kihyon Kim

Media can play an important role in promoting accountability, gender equality, addressing climate change, and improving health. BBC Media Action has produced various media programs that have helped increase citizens' knowledge of governance issues, encourage political participation, challenge gender norms, and prepare communities for climate impacts. An effective media development strategy should use both traditional and digital platforms to widely disseminate information and engage different demographic groups.

This document discusses the development of a Water Wellbeing Indicator to more accurately measure the impact of water programs, especially among pastoral populations with complex water use. It proposes using emotional response as the basis for the indicator. Research in Ethiopia found water collected did not differ seasonally but emotional responses did, showing conventional measures do not capture impacts. The indicator toolkit developed includes simple, intermediate, and complex tools to serve various assessment needs. The project aims to have partners adopt the survey instrument to demonstrate its value, with the long term goal of broader adoption.
