Entry point activity in watershed
Entry Point Activities (EPA) are community activities aimed at increasing participation in watershed planning. EPA can include various low-cost activities and should avoid disrupting community harmony. Villagers identify potential EPA through discussions and meetings. The activities are then implemented with villagers' physical and financial contributions. Example EPAs provided are livestock healthcare, nutrition programs, gender initiatives, drinking water, agriculture, and rural infrastructure projects.

Women emerged as natural leaders and voiced the importance of self-respect. Their efforts have been scaled up through the state's MARYADA policy, which emphasizes a women-centered sanitation movement based on CLTS.
Community empowerment for rural developement sameera thilakarathna
This document discusses community empowerment for rural development. It defines community empowerment as a process that enables communities to gain greater control over decisions that affect their lives. The key aspects of community empowerment are making communities confident, inclusive, organized, cooperative and influential. Community empowerment encourages active community participation in identifying problems and solutions. It builds on local strengths and resources to ensure sustainability.

Sanitation in Developing Countries
This document discusses two major approaches to improving sanitation: Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) for rural areas, and the Orangi Pilot Project (OPP) for urban areas. CLTS uses "triggering" to motivate communities to build their own toilets without subsidies, aiming for entire villages to become open defecation free. OPP takes a similar community-led approach in urban Pakistan, organizing neighborhoods to build low-cost lane sewers and manage funds with no government subsidies. While both empower communities, there are debates around whether CLTS results in poor quality toilets with no health impact, and whether OPP simply moves wastewater problems downstream.
Miwatj - Mark Kelly
The Miwatj Health Both Ways Model provides concise summaries of their NDIS program in remote North East Arnhem Land:
1. They launched their NDIS program in 2017 with 206 participants so far, focusing on building participants' capabilities and control over their own futures.
2. Their program includes coordination of support, outreach support coordinators who visit communities weekly, and community connectors who are local Yolŋu staff providing cultural brokerage.
3. Transitioning to the NDIS in very remote areas has brought challenges around remote service delivery, plan quality, and moving from block to fee-for-service funding, but also successes through collaboration, relationship building, and advocacy.
S3 1 indira-women and wash nov 5 2012
The document discusses strategies for improving access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) for women. It focuses on empowering excluded and marginalized groups, especially women, to access safe and sustainable WASH services. Key approaches include developing women's leadership and awareness of their rights, supporting governments to deliver better WASH through training and policy work, and mainstreaming WASH in other development sectors like health, education, and governance through partnerships and research. Examples illustrate how these strategies have transformed lives by developing skills, addressing violence, and improving status and acceptance of marginalized women.
Seema village -Open defecation free in Bihar
Seema village in Nalanda district of Bihar had widespread open defecation issues due to tradition, low priority of sanitation, illiteracy, and availability of open land. Through community meetings and awareness activities like street plays and audio-visual shows, the villagers were convinced of the health, dignity, and social issues caused by open defecation. The community resolved to end open defecation and constructed toilets with technical support. A vigilance committee monitored the village to ensure no open defecation occurred. As a result, Seema village became open defecation free, with increased safety, social dignity, savings, and living standards for villagers.

3) Strong state involvement is needed to direct development, as seen in developmental states in East Asia. The type of state-society relationship influences economic outcomes.
4) While free markets are important, the state still plays a role in areas like defense, infrastructure, education, taxes, and protecting laborers.

Public Administration in the Philippines
The document discusses the meaning and evolution of "public" in public administration and argues that voluntary sector management falls within the scope of public administration. It defines three meanings of "public" - as government organizations, as providers of public goods and services, and as governance for the public interest. All organizations exist on a continuum of publicness and privateness. Voluntary sector organizations, while not governmental, still aim to serve the public interest and provide public goods, placing their management within the domain of public administration.
Introduction to Public Administration
The document discusses different views of public administration as both a field of practice and study. As a field of practice, public administration involves carrying out governmental functions like enacting laws and policies. As a field of study, it uses empirical research and social science methods to advance knowledge. Public administration is considered an applied discipline that prepares individuals for careers in public service. It is viewed as both an art that involves creativity and leadership, and a science with theories to explain phenomena in the field. Several definitions of public administration are provided that emphasize its role in implementing policies and delivering services to the public.

This document discusses international best practices for the role of local governments in multi-stakeholder collaboration for socially responsible mining and sustainable community development.

However, many local governments have limited capacity and capabilities to effectively participate. Suggestions are provided to strengthen local governments' involvement, such as requiring company consultation, education, training, and technical support.

Political Economy of Climate Change Reforms
This document discusses the political economy of climate change reforms in Pakistan through three levels of analysis: macro, sectoral, and problem-driven. It maps stakeholders and analyzes the drivers and constraints within the political economy framework. While the government acknowledges climate change impacts through rhetoric and budget allocations, there remains a disconnect between words and actions. National consultations on green economy recommended focusing on sustainable development, clean energy, sustainable agriculture, and urbanization. The bottom line is that successful climate change interventions require understanding local capacity, leveraging social capital, introducing accountability, and finding least-cost solutions.

- 3. Earlier situation? • Change from ARWSP to NRDWP: move towards ‘good governance’ but not fully put in that context 3
- 4. Working – not working? • Not working in some cases – Eg drinking water security plan: no structure as to who is to do, how • Working in some cases – where there is ‘will’ (eg Sikkim) • Working partially (eg J&K) because there is a mandate 4
- 5. Weak links • Neither able to identify or reach the weak • GP ‘fragmented representation’ 5
- 6. What needs to be done? • NGO, GP and people to come together • Information, dissemination to be at community level through schools • Citizen charter (see Sikkim) • Government to nurture, empower ‘good’ institutions (varying according to context) in context where panchayats central • Strengthening accountability beyond panchayat (block…) 6
- 7. Who will do this? • Citizen charter – At all levels so that accountability not limited to one level – Joint monitoring mechanism necessary • School-based (culture development & monitoring) • People’s planning (Kerala) - planning from local level (kutumbshree) 7
- 8. What are basic principles/values/activities? • Subsidiarity principle – What can be done at GP, block, district should not be decided at a macro level • Micro-level planning to be incorporated to strengthen links from state to community Unfinished discussion • Government to remain accountable • Government officials to report only to 8 elected representatives
