The document discusses ways to improve Lithuania's development cooperation programs with NGOs. It recommends focusing on a limited number of priority objectives tailored to partner countries' needs, using common indicators to assess impact, and increasing grant sizes and project durations to allow for more strategic, higher-impact work. This would reduce aid fragmentation and increase the ability to monitor results.

The document discusses priorities for older people and how local governments and organizations can work to address them. It identifies key priorities for older people based on research, including transport, care, health, income, and communities. It recommends that local actors find out older peoples' priorities, take an ambitious and strategic approach to delivering services with older people at the heart of planning, and look for new opportunities under reforms to better support independence, respect, and quality of life for older populations.
The document discusses Michael Young's work shaping the UK welfare state and founding over 60 social organizations. It then outlines 10 practical ways to encourage social growth and innovation through the "Big Society" initiative, such as giving communities more rights and tools to solve local issues, supporting social enterprises, and using the leadership of older adults. Bureaucracies often resist innovation and risk, so the public sector must connect users and volunteers with strategic networks to successfully innovate at a local level.
The document discusses asset-based community development and empowering seniors. It advocates shifting from a needs-based approach focused on deficiencies to an asset-based approach that recognizes the skills, knowledge, and contributions of community members, including seniors. An asset map created by residents of Ballinacurra Weston, Ireland is presented as an example to catalogue the gifts, talents, and resources of the community that can be leveraged for local development. The document also discusses the importance of inclusion, co-production between community members and agencies, developing local capacity, and empowering citizens rather than treating them as clients.

The document summarizes learnings from participatory budgeting experiments in Pune, India. It discusses what participatory budgeting is, how it has been implemented in Pune from 2007-2013, key findings and recommendations. The process in Pune engaged 700-900 citizens annually who suggested 500-850 projects, with 16-35% of the capital budget allocated for participatory budgeting projects. However, the process faced issues with lack of publicity, information and transparency, as well as low participation of disadvantaged groups.
1. The new funding model from the Global Fund introduces several key changes to improve its processes and impact.
2. These include more stringent CCM eligibility requirements to ensure transparency and accountability. Concept notes will now need to be developed through an inclusive country dialogue process.
3. Additional changes involve splitting funds between diseases and health systems, capturing additional government investments, aligning with national strategic plans, and optimizing the timing of concept note submission and funding access.
The document provides an overview of key changes to the Global Fund's funding model, with an emphasis on the importance of country dialogue. Some of the main points covered include:
1. CCM eligibility requirements have been strengthened, including requirements for representation from key populations and management of conflicts of interest.
2. The timing of concept note submission is more flexible but must align with one of the TRP/GAC review windows. Grants can be extrapolated beyond national strategic plans.
3. Inclusive country dialogue is critical for developing high-quality concept notes and funding requests. A variety of tools and templates are available to support country dialogue.

This document discusses the challenges and benefits of implementing an outcome-focused approach to public sector management and budgeting. Some key points:
- Moving from an input or output focus to outcomes aims to increase effectiveness, efficiency, transparency and resource allocation by linking programs to their societal impacts.
- However, defining and measuring outcomes can be difficult, and shifting culture and incentives is challenging. Outcome information may also not be the sole factor in political decision-making.
- Coordination across agencies and levels of government to achieve shared outcomes poses additional difficulties for implementation. Trade-offs may exist between outcome data and other types of management information.
- While still early, no country has turned away from outcome-

Neighbourhood planning - Urban Vision Dave ChetwynHACThousing
油
Neighbourhood plans allow local communities to shape development in their area. They become part of the statutory development plan once approved at referendum. The process involves gathering evidence of community preferences, drafting plan policies and site allocations, consulting the community, undergoing examination, and approval by referendum. Key issues addressed often include housing, design standards, and identifying sites for development. The plan must meet basic conditions of national policy and sustainable development to be adopted.
Ghana SBS to Natural Resources and Environmental Governance v3 short fin - ti...Dr Se叩n Doolan, MBA

The document discusses sector budget support for natural resources and environmental governance in Ghana. It notes that internationally, there has been a shift towards general and sector budget support based on aid effectiveness principles, but this has sometimes reduced attention to natural resources and the environment. In Ghana, there was a move from project-based support to multi-donor sector budget support for natural resources and environmental governance. This required reframing the environment focus in terms of aid mechanisms and building legitimacy for the approach. The support aimed to strengthen sector governance, build capacity, and promote synergies across levels of dialogue and development objectives. Quality of engagement across partners and levels was seen as critical to ensure policy coherence and complementarity in supporting the sector's objectives.
This presentation was delivered as part of ICEM and PACT training course on Strategic Environmental Assessments in the context of energy development in the Greater Mekong Subregion in May 2016.
The document discusses a higher education program aimed at supporting innovation and change through various activities like project visits, documentation, and meetings.

This document summarizes research on evidence-based program planning for rural economic development in Alberta, Canada. It analyzes two past programs (RCED and RDI) that provided over $200 million in funding. The research found that participation in capacity building, having larger communities in a region, and access to a dedicated project coordinator increased the likelihood of starting and successfully completing projects. It concludes funders should ensure capacity building, not exclude very rural areas, provide access to coordinators, and evaluate longer-term outcomes like collaboration and sustainability.
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.

The Dorset POPP program aims to promote health, independence, and well-being for older people in Dorset through community development. It receives funding from the Department of Health and local authorities. The program employs community development workers, wayfinders, and leaders to create social activities and support services. It has connected over 53,000 older people to services and activities. The program works to create supportive communities where older people can live in their own homes and feel socially integrated, contributing, secure, and in good health.
The document discusses predictive case modelling in social care and health. It describes how predictive models can identify high-risk patients using their medical history to help avoid costly hospital admissions. The document outlines how predictive models are developed using years of patient data and validated on separate data. It also discusses how predictive risk scores can be used to target intensive case management programs at those most likely to benefit.
The document discusses transforming care systems to provide more universal services, community support, health services, and welfare assistance. It addresses using personal budgets and procurement more efficiently, challenges around affordable choice, and the potential role of the third sector and social enterprises in providing "creative care" focused on outcomes and costs.
The document outlines a vision to improve outcomes for older people while reducing costs through more integrated health and social care services. It proposes that savings from reducing unnecessary secondary and long-term care (A) can be reinvested in alternative community services (B) and prevention (C) to create an overall reduction in expenditure (Y). Specific strategies mentioned include diverting people from acute care through expanded community services, long-term focus on health and well-being, and streamlining management to better support integrated working. Contact information is provided for further discussion.
This document discusses predictive case modelling in social care and health. It describes how predictive models can identify high-risk patients and help manage their care proactively. The document outlines key elements of developing predictive models, including using large amounts of patient data to identify risk factors and predict future costs and health events. It also discusses how model outputs can be used to target interventions and allocate resources.
The document discusses 31 ways to reduce costs in social care, including reablement/intermediate care, telecare and equipment, direct payments, reducing residential care use, and increasing citizen contributions. It also outlines models from the University of Birmingham and Oxford Brookes University focused on promoting healthy lifestyles, screening, falls prevention, and partnership working to reduce demand for social care and reliance on institutional care. The document argues for a new social care model that keeps people out of social care through lower demand, focuses on non-institutional crisis interventions and health/social care interdependence.
This document discusses the relationship between housing and health, and innovative housing options for older adults. It notes that home modifications can prevent costly falls and injuries, delay entry into residential care, and reduce hospital readmissions. The document then addresses perceived challenges for organizations in providing housing and care, including developing a future vision, addressing sustainability concerns, and fostering innovation. It also discusses the health drivers for good quality housing, an aging population's changing needs and preferences, and general facts about older adults' living situations.

7. Leadership and political challenges Cultural and organisational change Governance and financial management Relationship with other programmes Capacity Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole Concluded that it is possible to secure improved outcomes at less cost but a number of issues and barriers to be addressed:
8. Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole Project Board conclusion that main focus for implementation should be council/PCT level Recognition of a case for some activity at a wider geographical level Organisational history cast its shadow over the project (including the process by which the pilot was initiated) The sub-regional focus had implications for ownership and level of ambition
10. Buy-in is everything Buy-in across organisational and geographical boundaries: the challenge of the issues will expose any reluctance Buy-in of service directors and heads of service those responsible for implementation is critically important
11. Keeping it clear (if not simple) The core question Developing and testing propositions and hypotheses Retaining a focus on at less cost Retaining the centrality of the citizens perspective
12. Maintaining momentum The challenge of maintaining momentum without a government deadline in the face of inevitable pressures to slow down Piggy-back on unmoveable local timescales and programmes Use project milestones assemblies, events to maintain progress
13. A creative space A way of creating the space in which mainstream programmes can be more ambitious Remember: The citizen perspective The financial pressures To get out more. To create space for learning from the process
