SUMMARY:Hope in action: Community-led efforts to end GBV and HIV
DESCRIPTION:In the lead up to the International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2024)\, join us for a film screening and panel discussion that explores the impactful work of community-led organizations addressing gender-based violence (GBV) and its intersections with HIV. \nTwo short films will showcase the successes and challenges of community-led organizations working to prevent gender-based violence and support survivors in Malawi and Botswana. After the film screening\, leaders from these two organizations and a third organization will answer audience questions and discuss what they’ve learned through work at the forefront of the HIV response. \nThe panelists will consider: \n· What seemingly intractable challenges have they been able to make inroads on through their approaches to community engagement and holistic support? \n· How does their positioning as community-led and community-based organizations impact the work they do and the successes they have? \n· What are the intersections between gender-based violence and HIV in their communities? \n· How do their staff and volunteers cope with the direct and vicarious trauma that they experience through this work? Have their organizations been able to support mental health and well-being of staff and volunteers? What else is needed? \nRegistering for this event is a quick\, three-step process. First\, click ‘register now\,’ enter your email address\, and push ‘continue.’ Second\, add your name\, choose a password\, and push ‘create account.’ Third\, click ‘pre-order now.’ You will receive a confirmation email with a link to use to join us the day of the event.

SUMMARY:Aid data\, impact\, and the Sustainable Development Goals
DESCRIPTION:Transparency of data and other information on development and humanitarian assistance helps stakeholders understand where aid is provided\, for what purpose\, how it is delivered\, and what results it achieves. Transparency also promotes collaboration among aid donors and implementers and ensures accountability to citizens of both donor and partner countries. \nWith the deadline for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) just six years away\, many assessments show these global goals off track. Improved transparency in aid and development data has led to tools that assess progress\, identify gaps\, and highlight where more effort is needed. How can aid and development data meet information needs for assessing and directing SDG efforts? Specifically\, how can this data inform decisions about SDG 2 and emergency food needs? How do donor agencies use aid and development data to understand their own and others’ programs\, including results and evaluations? What information do countries need for SDGs\, what do they currently use\, and what is still required? \nOn Tuesday\, July 16\, the Center for Sustainable Development at Brookings will host the release of the 2024 Aid Transparency Index in partnership with Publish What You Fund (PWYF). This event will examine the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI)\, United Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP’S) SDG dashboard\, and country statistical data as three essential tools that\, when combined\, can help countries\, donors\, and citizens better focus their efforts. The event will begin with an introduction by George Ingram\, senior fellow at the Global Economy and Development program. It will be followed by presentations  by PWYF Chief Executive Officer Gary Forster\, and by UNDP’s Director of SDG Integration\, Laurel Patterson. George Ingram will moderate a panel with representatives from the development community to discuss the Index findings. \nClick here to attend!

SUMMARY:Addressing adolescent health\, rights and gender-based violence in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:On June 27\, 2024\, join us for the first event in a new IDRC webinar series entitled Thriving in Safety: Advancing adolescent health and rights and ending gender-based violence in Central and West Africa. Various experts will provide an overview of the evidence\, challenges and opportunities related to adolescents at the nexus of sexual and reproductive health and rights and gender-based violence in West and Central Africa. \nWith adolescents representing 23% of the population in Central and West Africa (the highest proportion of any region in world)\, it is crucial to address the challenges they face\, especially with regard to their health and safety. These challenges include child marriage\, early pregnancy\, gender-based violence (GBV)\, genital mutilation\, socio-economic vulnerability and mental health. GBV and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are interrelated. However\, a lack of evidence complicates the development of appropriate policies and programs to support the health and wellbeing of adolescents in the region. \nIn its 2016-2030 Health Strategy\, the African Union prioritizes access to comprehensive\, integrated sexual and reproductive services. Now more than ever\, a multi-stakeholder conversation must begin to move toward inclusive and equitable policies that take into account the drivers of SRHR and GBV through locally relevant knowledge and evidence. \nIDRC\, having funded numerous research projects over the past decade to enhance SRHR and tackle GBV in Central and West Africa\, recognizes the need for sustained dialogue and collaboration in this domain. \nOn the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development\, this webinar series will provide a platform for knowledge exchange\, showcasing experiences and fostering effective multi-stakeholder engagement in advancing adolescent SRHR and ending GBV in Central and West Africa. \nThe discussion will be hosted in English and French with simultaneous interpretation. \nRegister now and join our speakers for the inaugural webinar in the series to learn about the current regional landscape of adolescent SRHR and GBV in Central and West Africa.

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!
