    I am prepared for a 3 day summit between US and Mexican sister cities in Guadalajara (Feb 15-17), and looking for ways to bring new collaborations for development to the forefront.  I wonder whether there is any interest from members of this platform to have online video discussions during the summit?

  • Humanitarian Futures: Capacities for 21st century Organizations

    • CDD and Safeguards

    Policy makers are certainly busy working on ways forward in the future.   How our organizations will be responding unfolding events which change the relevance of the programming already agreed upon, and indeed, being implemented, is important. 

     

    An online Professionals in Humanitarian Assistance and Protection (PHAP) webinar in December 2017, is a preface I would make to set the stage to guide any discussions that might follow https://phap.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=433#recording     I posed a question (24:30) about how to generate and use 'big data' for strategically approaching the plan changes.

     

    The unfolding humanitarian crisis in one of the most undeveloped regions left in this world - the area where Myanmar, Bangladesh and India come together - is certainly very complex, with both large scale refugee and stateless populations which have been driven from their homes,  Villages and towns in the greater region certainly must contain high percentages of the 'bottom billion'.  Infrastructure is poor, communications capabilities are worse, and conflict is ripe.  How do we move forward finding durable solutions?

  • Eager to learn

    Unknown Posted May 05 2016, 12:00 AM

    Hi C4D Family

    I have just joined and still figuring out how things work here. Please bear with me.

    For all my eight years of practice in the citizen sector, I have engaged in leadership development, election observation, baseline research, and so on. Like you can tell with my experience: I have been in many places but not necessarily "having both my hands on deck"

    After doing some soul searching, I have chosen to dive into healthcare for some reasons I wont get into here. Currently, my interest is in health financing for developing economies which is generally wanting given the public investment done so far. (Note: This is a lay man's assessment but my desire is to make informed decisions based on credible data)

     

    I ask that you guide me on what next steps I need to take as far as utilizing this platform is concerned. Any other help offered will be highly appreciated. My desire is to start by thoroughly studying a typical health system, learning the gaps thereof and how to make it better.
