SUMMARY:Midwives are Key to Climate Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Midwives are an essential climate solution. The increasing impacts of climate change have an outsized impact on maternal and newborn health\, as well as access to family planning and other vital health services. Midwives play a critical role in providing essential health services during climate-related disasters\, and in the context of the lasting impacts of climate change on health systems. \nHowever\, there remains a global shortage of midwives and a lack of investment and commitment to their training and support. The current global focus on climate change offers an opportune time to showcase the role of midwives as climate change champions and leaders in climate action. \nPlease join the Wilson Center’s Maternal Health Initiative\, in partnership with UNFPA\, for a virtual panel discussion on the role of midwives in building resilience to climate change. The event will highlight some innovative and adaptive strategies midwives have used when faced with extreme heat\, flooding\, and wildfires while caring for women and families. Speakers will also discuss policies and programming that are necessary to support midwives as frontline workers in areas affected by climate change. \nClick here to attend!

SUMMARY:2024 Community-Based Seniors' Services (CBSS) Sector Summit
DESCRIPTION:The community-based seniors’ services (CBSS) sector is made up of a vast network of public\, private\, and not-for-profit organizations. You likely know someone who’s relied on a CBSS organization. Whether it’s your local library\, a seniors’ club\, a food bank\, or another community pillar – CBSS organizations are stepping up to meet the most pressing needs older Canadians face. These institutions form the backbone of communities from coast to coast to coast\, and yet\, they are largely unrecognized and underfunded. It’s time for a radical shift for how we think about and support Canadians as they age. \nWe’re calling on CBSS organizations across Canada to join us for the 2024 CBSS Sector Summit: Claiming our Space\, Naming our Future. This event marks a historic moment where CBSS organizations will come together to share their knowledge\, establish the needs and priorities of the sector\, and create a unified vision for the future of aging in Canada. Now’s your chance to declare your place as part of the CBSS sector in the national spotlight! \nJoin us from June 2-4\, 2024\, at the Marriott Hotel in Ottawa\, ON\, for this history-making event! \nLearn more and register here!

DESCRIPTION:Education has the power to shape the course of a person’s life. But access to this fundamental human right is often threatened by harmful gender norms\, fragile institutions\, and other systemic barriers. This is especially true for girls living in vulnerable communities. Addressing these challenges requires the cultivation of inclusive\, resilient\, and adaptive learning environments. \nJoin AKFC and Canada-Mathare Education Trust on May 30 as we embark on an exploration of innovative approaches\, challenges\, and triumphs in promoting educational access for girls\, in East Africa and beyond. We’ll discuss the role of Canadian cooperation in expanding gender-equitable education and skill-building opportunities for youth in the region. \nBe a changemaker. Join us at Rise & Thrive and be inspired to advance gender equity and access to education. \nREGISTER HERE AND LEARN MORE \n

SUMMARY:First International Symposium on Responsible Practices in Managing International Projects with the Global South
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to invite you to participate in an exceptional event designed to redefine the contours of international project management: a conference dedicated to the responsible management of international projects\, with a special focus on relationships with the Global South. This initiative is fully aligned with the dynamics of valuing the multiple perspectives of Others\, emphasizing pluriversal practices often sidelined\, with the aim of establishing a more inclusive justice. \nOur ambition is to dive deep into the contextual specifics essential for teams engaged in the implementation of international projects. We propose to explore the unique challenges faced by stakeholders and to highlight innovative practices that promote co-creation and the valorization of indigenous knowledge within the framework of public development aid (PDA). \nAt the heart of our conference\, the goal is bold: it is to question certainties\, dismantle cognitive biases\, and re-evaluate practices rooted in a universalist vision of project management. By sharing a diversity of perspectives\, we aspire not only to enrich the body of knowledge but also to encourage the adoption of hybrid practices\, enriched by cultural and intellectual diversity. \nEngaging in a dialogic and collaborative approach\, our conference will place special emphasis on responsibility\, sustainability\, and the decolonization of knowledge. \nWe aim to make this space a breeding ground for new research collaborations and innovative practices. The academic community\, professionals in international project management\, representatives of public bodies and NGOs\, as well as the next generation of students\, will find fertile ground to transcend disciplinary barriers and develop innovative expertise\, valuable in the fields of project management\, management\, and social innovation. \nJoin us to contribute to a pioneering approach aimed at enriching\, renewing\, and revolutionizing the practices of international project management from a resolutely pluriversal and inclusive perspective. Your presence and participation will be crucial for the success of this conference and for the promotion of the values we seek to uphold. \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:Ensuring global access to affordable diagnostics for tuberculosis: A Canadian perspective
DESCRIPTION:Before patients can be effectively treated\, they need to be diagnosed. The GeneXpert is an effective diagnostic tool for diseases like drug-resistant tuberculosis\, HIV and hepatitis that is also suitable for low-resource environments. Unfortunately\, high prices for the cartridges used for each test mean it does not reach all who could benefit. This session will explain the “Time for $5” campaign calling on GeneXpert manufacturers Cepheid and Danaher to lower the price of cartridges; discuss the importance of diagnostics in settings from Canada to Lesotho; and highlight Canada’s pledges\, and shortfalls\, supporting the global push to end TB.

Brutalized and then abandoned\, Sira begins another long journey across the arid landscape to return to her community. But the path she has chosen leads her right into the assailants’ camp. Refusing to surrender to circumstances\, she decides to remain near the camp\, living off the land and out of sight\, preparing for her moment to strike back. \nSIRA was presented at the Pan-African Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou (FESPACO) in Burkina Faso. The film was awarded a special prize by WaterAid for addressing the problem of access to water for women and girls in the Sahel\, in a context marked by climate change. Traoré also became a WaterAid Ambassador on WASH and Climate change. SIRA made its North American debut at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:Celebrating gender and malaria successes and heroes panel discussion
DESCRIPTION:For the 2024 World Malaria Day\, gender is at the forefront of the agenda. Over the last few years\, progress towards malaria elimination have stagnated and in 2022\, 608 000 lost their lives to malaria while 249 million malaria cases were reported. Research from various countries shows that gender-based economic\, cultural\, and social dynamics have had an impact of achieving malaria elimination goals. \nSeveral actors have taken on the task of addressing gender-based biases within malaria policies and programme and with their support\, progress has been made to bridge the gender and equity divide within malaria programmes. \nAlong the sidelines of the 8th Multilateral Initiative on Malaria (MIM) Society conference\, the RBM Partnership and its members would like to pause and reflect on the work done so far\, celebrate the successes achieved and plan for the future. The evening will feature a celebration and an engaging panel discussion to help the audience take stock and plan for the future where we have a malaria-free future. \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Adaptation to climate change-driven infectious disease risks in Canada
DESCRIPTION:Multiple national and international assessments of possible impacts of climate change on infectious diseases have highlighted a range of climate-sensitive diseases and the possibility of i) geographic spread of infectious diseases from endemic areas to regions where they have not been seen before; and ii) more epidemic behavior of mosquito-borne\, and food and water-borne infectious diseases due to climate variability and extreme weather events. \nTo address these threats\, adaptation programs require enhanced activity across public health functions of risk assessment\, surveillance\, and interventions (preventive measures\, public health guidance\, control measures\, risk communications\, and early warning systems). \nNick Ogden\, Senior Research Scientist and Director of Public Health Risk Sciences Division\, will share progress made with this endeavor at the Public Health Agency of Canada.\nAdaptation to climate change-driven infectious disease risks in Canada \nClick here to attend!
