Men vs. Venus II: Leveraging NGO-Corporate Partnerships_Joe Miklosi_4.24.13

This document discusses capacity strengthening for global health. It identifies three key institutional capacity areas where change should occur: the conduciveness of the political environment, the efficiency of policy instruments, and the effectiveness of organizational arrangements. Six learning outcomes are identified as essential to capacity development, including raising awareness, enhancing skills, and implementing strategies and plans. The document then provides examples of how capacity has been altered in areas like mental health, child development, and innovations in cost-effective service delivery models. Feedback from participants on workshops and presentations is also included.

Community Based DOTS - Mozambique_Dr. Paul Robinson

The mid-term evaluation of a community-based DOTS tuberculosis project in Mozambique found several accomplishments but also some challenges. Key results included an increase in the case notification rate and community knowledge about TB, along with a reduction in treatment by traditional healers and drug stock-outs. However, the case notification rate and quarterly supervision of health posts had declined. Constraints involved inaccurate recording of patients on community-based treatment and challenges retaining volunteers. The evaluation team acknowledged contributions from various partner organizations.

Building Bridges between Civil Society and Government through Capacity Buildi...

The Building Bridges Project from 2008-2011 aimed to strengthen the capacity of civil society organizations (CSOs) in Botswana to deliver HIV/AIDS services through subgrant funding and technical assistance. An evaluation found the CSO partners significantly improved their organizational and technical capacities, which led to substantial increases in HIV-affected individuals receiving services. Key factors in these gains were training, tools, mentoring, and innovative service delivery strategies introduced. However, achieving fully sustainable organizational development proved more difficult than anticipated. Overall, the project successfully strengthened CSOs' ability to provide integrated HIV/AIDS support, though future similar projects would benefit from longer timeframes and a stronger focus on governance and resource mobilization from the start.

Raymond McDaniel & Moody's corporate social responsibility report economics

starfirejones

Fourth period, Jones. My report on Corporate Social Responsibility, Moody's Corporation. Featuring Moody's Mega Math Challenge and quotes from Moody's CEO Raymond McDaniel. Text: Corporate Social Responsibility Moody's Math Challenge Moody's CEO Raymond McDaniel In an interview with Leaders Online, Moody's CEO Raymond McDaniel explained the importance of Corporate Social Responsibility in Moody's Corporation. "Our involvement in the community has been aligned very closely with the attributes people associate with Moody's, such as promoting education and making sure that students have the specialized skills that are necessary to function in an increasingly complex world." Definition, Corporate Social Responsibility: CSR, also called corporate conscience or corporate citizenship, is a form of corporate self-regulation integrated into a business model. CSR policy functions as a built-in, self-regulating mechanism whereby a business monitors and ensures its active compliance with the spirit of the law, ethical standards, and international norms. CSR is a process with the aim to embrace responsibility for the company's actions and encourage a positive impact through its activities on the environment, consumers, employees, communities, stakeholders and all other members of the public sphere who may also be considered as stakeholders. So What does Moody's Corporation do? Moody's Mega Math Challenge "Now in its seventh year, the M3 challenge is a unique contest designed to highlight the value of mathematics in daily life and in solving real-world issues. It is sponsored by The Moody's Foundation, which awards a total of $115,000 in prizes." The Moody's Mega Math Challenge is a joint venture between the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) and the Moody's Foundation. An annual contest for high school students, the M3 Challenge spotlights applied mathematics as a powerful problem-solving tool, as a viable and exciting profession, and as a vital contributor to advances in an increasingly technical society. Raymond McDaniel on the Moody's Math Challenge "Our signature project, The Moody's Mega Math Challenge, is an opportunity for students working in teams to participate in a very short but intensive competition where they create modeling solutions to real-world issues." -Moody's CEO Ray McDaniel Besides for teaching math participants have a chance to receive scholarship money The top six prize-winning teams receive scholarship awards ranging from $2,500 to $20,000, which are divided equally among team members and paid directly to the colleges or universities at which the winning students enroll. Semi-finalist and honorable mention winners receive team prizes of $1,500 and $1,000, respectively. Goals of the M3 Challenge: Show how math is useful in the real world Increase interest in mathematics for students Provide scholarships for talented youth Awards: SIAM received an

Harnessing Collaboration to Pursue Grand Challenges

Crowdsourcing Week

The document discusses "Grand Challenges," which are ambitious yet achievable goals in areas of national and global priority that aim to have a significant positive impact. Grand Challenges can catalyze innovation across sectors and disciplines by clearly defining motivating goals. Successful Grand Challenge programs articulate why the goal is important, seek broad input to define the target and approach, adapt frameworks and roles to the specific goal, use a portfolio of funding methods, execute long-term engagement plans, and track progress indicators over multiple years. The document advocates for expanding participation in Grand Challenges to more organizations, communities of practice, stakeholders, students, and addressing social policy challenges.

Here are the key insights from the focus group: - Students enjoy social events like concerts, game nights, and mixers where they can interact with others. Educational events need interactive elements. - A loose, flexible student organization structure works best as schedules vary. Events should not require a long-term commitment. - Social media, word-of-mouth, and flyers around campus are best ways to communicate. Messages need to be brief and highlight benefits of attending. - Students care about causes like clean water but feel overwhelmed by global issues. Focusing on local impact and how they can directly help would resonate best. Secondary: To supplement the primary research, Greenroots conducted secondary research to

Presentation_Wesseling - Private Public Partnerships and CKDu

This document discusses the epidemic of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) affecting agricultural workers along the Pacific coast of Central America. It provides evidence that the disease has an occupational etiology related to heat stress and dehydration experienced by sugarcane and other field workers. Studies show physiological changes in workers consistent with heat stress and dehydration across work shifts. Longitudinal studies find declines in kidney function over harvest seasons among heat-exposed occupations. Intervention studies reducing heat stress through water, rest, and shade have shown reduced declines in kidney function. While some non-occupational factors may also contribute, the evidence strongly suggests that prolonged occupational heat stress is a primary driver of the CKDu epidemic.

Presentation_NCDs - Private Public Partnerships and CKDu

Non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease, and diabetes are leading causes of death and disability globally but receive little focus from global health initiatives. While communicable diseases have declined in recent decades, deaths from non-communicable diseases have increased and pose growing health and economic challenges as treatments remain limited. Experts call for greater prioritization and resources for non-communicable diseases on the global health agenda.

Presentation_Discussion - Norms Shifting Interventions

Presentation_Krieger - Norms Shifting Interventions

The document discusses the origins and theories of social norms. It notes that early theorists like Durkheim, Weber, and Ogburn contributed to understanding where norms come from and how they guide behavior. Parsons further explored how members of society are socialized to norms. Later, feminist anthropologists studied norms and social control, especially regarding gender. The document contrasts philosophical, psychological, and anthropological approaches to studying norms and culture. It argues that knowledge of cultural norms can help reduce unexpected outcomes in social science and shift narratives to achieve behavior change. The example of the Albania Family Planning Project shows how understanding local norms was key to successfully promoting contraceptive use.

Presentation_NSI - Norms Shifting Interventions

This document discusses the key attributes of norms-shifting interventions. It identifies several attributes that make an intervention effective at shifting social norms, including seeking community-level change, engaging people at multiple levels, correcting misperceptions around harmful behaviors, confronting power imbalances related to gender, creating safe spaces for critical reflection, rooting the issue within community values, accurately assessing norms, using organized diffusion, and creating positive new norms. The document provides examples and explanations for each of these attributes.

Presentation_Igras - Norms Shifting Interventions

This document discusses using theory to inform the work of a learning collaborative (LC) on norms-shifting interventions for adolescent reproductive health. It outlines several relevant theories, including social norm and behavior change theory and communication and behavior change theories. It also discusses the value of "bottom-up" program change theory developed from implementation experience. The LC aims to facilitate collaboration between organizations, build knowledge, and develop shared tools to guide effective social norm measurement and practice at scale. By working collaboratively, the LC can take a more experimental approach in this nascent field while still being informed by relevant theories.

Presentation_Petraglia - Norms Shifting Interventions

This document discusses a constructivist perspective on norms and normative change. Some key points of constructivism are that knowledge is constructed through social interaction and prior experiences, and meaning is negotiated through language. Constructivism acknowledges that individuals belong to multiple reference groups and can choose which norms to follow in a given situation. Normative change interventions cannot directly manage or control norms, but may be able to influence them by facilitating dialogue, clarifying language, and encouraging ethical persuasion rather than direct attribution. Norms and beliefs are also difficult to accurately measure.

This presentation provides an overview of CARE's Tipping Point initiative which aims to address child, early and forced marriage in Nepal and Bangladesh through community programming and evidence generation. In Phase 1 from 2013-2017, the project worked with adolescents, parents and leaders in 16 districts across the two countries. Norms influencing child marriage include excluding girls' voices, controlling girls' sexuality, and perceptions of risks/benefits of marriage timing. Phase 2 implements a randomized control trial to generate evidence on effective gender transformative programming and the value of social norms approaches. Challenges included discussing sexuality while successes included girls gaining greater freedom and mobility.

Presentation_Tura - Norms Shifting Interventions

This document discusses the Care Group approach used in an intervention in Nepal from 2005-2010. It aimed to shift social norms around maternal and child health issues through community groups. Formative research identified key norms and barriers. Community groups engaged women to reflect critically and root issues in community values. Evaluations found sustained impact on behaviors like breastfeeding years later. Challenges included focusing directly on norm drivers and unrealistic community health worker workloads. Further research on accurate norm assessment and evidence-based norm-shifting is still needed.

Presentation_Sacher - Norms Shifting Interventions

This document summarizes Cristina Bicchieri's theory of social norms, which is grounded in philosophy, game theory, and psychology. The key aspects of the theory include conditional preferences that depend on social expectations, personal normative beliefs about what should be done, and expectations about what others in one's reference network do and think should be done. The implications for practice highlighted in the document include providing a theory of change, identifying the nature of norms to design appropriate interventions, and using data and illustrative vignettes to measure norms and guide social change programs.
