Globally, it is estimated that 2.5 billion people need access to one or more assistive products or devices, and this number is likely to rise to above 3.4 billion by 2050. In May 2022, the WHO and UNICEF jointly launched a landmark Global Report on Assistive Technology (GReAT), which provides a clear roadmap with recommendations that, when implemented, can address global challenges in terms of access to assistive products and making universal health coverage inclusive for all people, including delivering on our obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with a Disability and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The focus of this presentation will address the conditions required to create a much-needed step-change in our approach to assistive technology and how Ireland can shift to being a global leader in the field, including through its current collaboration with the World Health Organization. About the Speaker: Dr Cathal Morgan works for the WHO Regional Office for Europe, leading the workforce optimisation agenda within the Health Workforce and Service Delivery team. Before his current WHO role, Dr Morgan provided policy and technical advisory support to Governments in scaling access to rehabilitation, digital and assistive technologies with a key technical role in advising on disability-inclusive health policies. He has held several senior leadership positions within Ireland's public service, including as Head of Disability Operations in the Health Service Executive, and has worked with international organisations such as the International Initiative for Disability Leadership (IIDL) and EU EQUAL Initiative. Cathal is a trained clinical psychotherapist with a master's degree in clinical psychotherapy, a PhD in clinical research relating to suicidology, and a post-graduate diploma in executive leadership coaching.

International development is a major political priority in many countries, with billion-dollar budgets. But, as recently as 2006, the influential Center for Global Development published a damning report entitled 'When will we ever learn?', essentially arguing that the entire policy area had been built on a foundation of guesswork and good intentions.   In the two decades since then, a huge amount of work has been done to bring rigorous evidence to this complex and often values-laden political area. For the Science for Policy podcast, Marie Gaarder and Thomas Kelly from the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation cover all the bases: the evidence we have and the evidence we need, how it should be used, and what's still getting in the way.

How do researchers assess the impact of peacebuilding interventions? And what can we learn from examining existing literature as a whole? In this episode, we speak with Ada Sonnenfeld, a former Evaluation Specialist with the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie). She talks about her work managing systematic reviews and evidence gap map projects, which can help policymakers make more informed decisions about how to use evidence – to make sense of what we know and learn from what has been done before. We discuss her recent review, where she and her colleagues synthesize evidence on programs that promote intergroup social cohesion in fragile contexts.This podcast is produced in partnership with the Pearson Institute for the Study and Resolution of Global Conflicts.

Originally recorded on March 12, 2021 Alix Zwane, Chief Executive Officer of the Global Innovation Fund, continued the discussion after a virtual CID Speaker Series event held on March 12, 2021 exploring their work further with CID Student Ambassador Sama Kubba. Successfully meeting international development goals in the post pandemic era calls for a renewed commitment to honesty both on a micro level and a macro level about what development assistance can and should seek to achieve. The debate about official assistance is often bookended by, at best, misplaced good intent and, at worst, falsehoods told to reinforce the status quo. Supporting innovation and R&D is at the heart of both an honest development agenda and the clearest path toward pushing decision-making more locally while still being true to our values around environmental, social, and governance standards such as gender equity and climate resilience. Alix Peterson Zwane is Chief Executive Officer of the Global Innovation Fund. She has 20 years of experience advancing the agenda of evidence-based aid and international development as an investor, a social entrepreneur, and an innovator herself. Alix has worked at the intersection of the evidence and innovation agendas from a diverse set of posts. She was the first employee and Executive Director at Evidence Action, a non-profit that develops service delivery models to scale evidence-based programs. Under Alix's leadership, Evidence Action catalyzed school-based deworming for hundreds of millions of children around the world, and safe drinking water for millions of people in four countries. Alix launched Evidence Action Beta, an incubator for innovations in development. Alix has also advocated for evidence-based philanthropy at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Google.org, where she set strategy and made investments to support new public service models that work for the poor and developed models for outcome-based grant-making. She began her career in management consulting and was a member of the faculty of the Agricultural and Resource Economics Department at University of California, Berkeley. Alix has published in Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the Quarterly Journal of Economics, and elsewhere. She previously served on the board of directors of Innovations for Poverty Action, the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation, and Evidence Action. She holds a Ph.D. in Public Policy from Harvard University and is a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader. Born and raised in Colorado, she divides her time between Washington, D.C. and London.

Can cash transfers reduce violence within the home, keeping women safe from intimate partner violence? This episode features IFPRI Senior Research Fellow Melissa Hidrobo (https://www.ifpri.org/profile/melissa-hidrobo) and Research Fellow Shalini Roy (https://www.ifpri.org/profile/shalini-roy) who, in a conversation with Sivan Yosef (https://www.ifpri.org/profile/sivan-yosef), tell the story of how development programs can sometimes have surprising impacts. When Melissa found that a cash transfer program in Ecuador reduced intimate partner violence, defined as physical, sexual, or emotional harm by a current or former partner or spouse, she and Shalini decided to team up and see whether the same results held in Bangladesh and Mali. Their work shows the vast potential of cash transfer programs, which are already used by many countries around the world, to reduce intimate partner violence at a large scale.

Yemen has been the scene of a regional war since 2014. The humanitarian situation there is dire, with millions of people living on the edge of starvation. It is not ready for the coronavirus pandemic.As of May 11, only 803 coronavirus tests have been conducted countrywide, a World Health Organization spokesperson told The World. Yemen, the Arab nation located to the south of Saudi Arabia, has a population of nearly 30 million people.Related: Researchers in Senegal are developing a coronavirus test kit to be used across AfricaWith test kits so scarce, doctors in a warzone are flying blind. They don’t know for sure whether patients have the virus, even though hospitals are already seeing patients with COVID-19 symptoms. “Most of them complain of fever, dry cough,” said Dr. Nader al-Durafi, an emergency room doctor at al-Saber hospital in Aden. “Some of them have difficulty breathing.” Aden, a port city located strategically at the mouth of the Red Sea, is the site of violent conflict between the Saudi-backed Yemeni government and the local Southern Transitional Council (STC), backed by the United Arab Emirates. Currently, the STC runs the city. Divisions in Aden are a microcosm of Yemen’s increasing political fragmentation. The nation’s health system — broken by more than five years of war —  will likely be tested over the coming months. Related: WHO fills gaps to fight COVID-19 in countries with weak systemsYemen saw its first confirmed case of COVID-19 five weeks ago with a 60-year old man in Ash Shihr, a port city in the Hadhramout region. That patient has since recovered, and authorities have traced his contacts. For weeks, he was Yemen’s only known COVID-19 case. The WHO reported on May 11 that nearly three dozen other cases have since been confirmed in the major Yemeni cities of Sana’a and Aden. Seven people have died.“Yemen has a very small problem, in the sense of the number of cases that have been reported. ... But we believe that the virus is spreading at the community level, and we need to focus on providing essential health services — and COVID-19 services — to all people in Yemen.”Michael Ryan, executive director of  the World Health Organization's health emergencies program“Yemen has a very small problem, in the sense of the number of cases that have been reported,” said Michael Ryan, executive director of the World Health Organization's health emergencies program, in a May 6 press conference. “But we believe that the virus is spreading at the community level, and we need to focus on providing essential health services — and COVID-19 services — to all people in Yemen.”Durafi says diagnosing COVID-19 is no simple matter in Yemen. “There are two other epidemics here in Aden: Dengue fever and Chikungunya,” he says. Both of those illnesses are marked by high fevers — just like COVID-19. “Most of the people here are suffering from a fever these days. And with the lack of test kits, we can't determine who has COVID-19 and who hasn't.”Dr. Nader al-Durafi works in the emergency room of al-Saber hospital in Aden, Yemen“Most of the people here are suffering from a fever these days. And with the lack of test kits, we can't determine who has COVID-19 and who hasn't.”In April, the International Initiative on COVID-19, a consortium of humanitarian groups, said it was sending a shipment that contained tens of thousands of test kits. But to date, there have been no reports of their distribution in Yemen.The efficient distribution of aid is one of the casualties of Yemen’s war. Rival authorities control its seaports. Yemen’s roads are frequently blocked by soldiers or militia groups who have been known to delay whole fleets of trucks. Related: COVID-19 impact could be as 'serious as a world war'“The medical staff, the doctors, nurses, everybody, they don't have enough protection for themselves against a virus,” Durafi says. “Honestly, I don't feel secure at all. That's because people are careless. There's thinking that the virus is not coming through Yemen.”  And without tests, Durafi says, there is no way to be sure: “We'll never know the actual number of the infected people.” Durafi says he assumes that he is being exposed to the coronavirus, and takes precautions to protect himself and his family. “Bringing home the virus — that is my major fear, especially [as] we live in an apartment with my father who has a history of heart disease,” he says.  “What we do for protection: the masks, the eyeglasses, the full uniform, I mean. I keep sanitizing my hands every five minutes, keep a safe distance while examining the patients. But 100% protection is not guaranteed.”

Lorna Sullivan, a global disability leader who is making significant changes inside the New Zealand social system. Lorna is the founder of the International Initiative for Disability Leadership (IIDL) and Director of Mana Whaikaha. I had the pleasure of learning from Lorna when she was part of the faculty in Michael Kendrick's Optimal Individualized Service Design Course.    In this podcast, we cover a wide range of topics, including:  doing away with deficit-based assessments,  enhancing a person's mana (explanation inside the podcast),  the power of holding a positive vision,  the rights of people with disabilities, tools for social inclusion,  and much more!     About Lorna Sullivan: Lorna became involved in being an advocate for people with disabilities by accident. She began her study in the field of Psychology, where she was first exposed to people with disabilities who she didn't know existed because they were hidden from the rest of society.    Lorna realized the damage that is done when a group of people, through no fault of their own, are marginalized from the rest of society and have no mechanism to find their way back.   Lorna shares, "If we continue to view disabled people as human tragedy and the best we can do for these people is to care for them; we will continue to deny them every aspect of life that we hold to be valuable."    Lorna helps us understand people with disabilities are the same as every other person, the same human needs, aspirations, and desires. She is on a mission to include people in all areas of society.     Lorna on Inclusion    Paraphrasing from the podcast, Lorna shares:   There is a fear of rejection, and in many cases, actual rejection is true.   My experience has been society wants to engage with people that have disabilities, but they don't know how to. We need to give them [people] the tools to do that [engage].    The best tool that we have to create more inclusion in society is to keep people close. If a person with disabilities is with other valued people in the Community, it makes it easier for other valued people to communicate with a person with disabilities. It normalizes the person.     Tweetable Quotes from Lorna:   "Never resort to the special, unless you have exhausted the ordinary. If we start in the special, we will always end in the special."   "The only thing that will change the trajectory of the lives of people with disabilities is where you have strong families, with strong vision - you have competent disabled people. Where you don't irrespective of the capacity of that person, you have dependency."   "Holding a very strong vision for a positive, meaningful, and full life isn't a trivial thing. If you don't hold this vision through the hard times, you will get blown anyway the wind is blowing."   This podcast with Lorna Sullivan is jam-packed with wisdom and is a must listen!   Also, if you like ideas discussed in this podcast, you are going to love the upcoming FREE Masterclass Workshop Series that guides families to build a strong vision for a positive, meaningful and full life that Lorna was talking about!

There is a good deal of energy in the development and humanitarian space focused on building an evidence base for what works - and what doesn't. Here on the Terms of Reference Podcast, we've talked with numerous individuals and organizations who are building data sets towards that end, and the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation - or 3ie - has been contributing to this conversation since its founding in 2008. To date, they've funded 146 impact evaluations, 33 systematic reviews and 38 other studies in over 50 countries. But how do we properly reflect on and communicate about the evidence we've collected, and its resulting analysis, so that it can be used by development and humanitarian actors to design (and deliver) better programing? I discuss this and a host of other topics on the 114th episode of the Terms of Reference Podcast with my guest, Dr. Jyotsna Puri. Jo is the Deputy Executive Director and Head of Evaluation at 3ie and has more than 21 years of experience in policy research and development evaluation.

It is one thing to have a non profit that is doing well and making a difference in the world. It is another to know just what that difference is. Results are great but if you don't analyze them you won't know how to move forward. Annette N. Brown is a Deputy Director for the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) and heads its Washington office. Prior to joining 3ie, Brown held executive and senior management positions at several development implementers, for which she performed technical assistance and research in more than twenty countries across all regions. Earlier in her career, Brown was Assistant Professor of economics at Western Michigan University and held research positions at the World Bank and the Stockholm Institute for Transition Economics.  The International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) is a grant-making NGO dedicated to improving lives in the developing world by supporting the production of and disseminating evidence from impact evaluations and related research.

Tim Crews is the Chief Scientist and Director of The Land Institute's International Initiative. The Land Institute is a non-profit agricultural research organization based in Salina, Kansas dedicated to developing agroecosystems that capture key functions of natural ecosystems through the integration of perenniality and diversity. Tim has been fascinated for most of his life with how we can improve our food producing ecosystems—agriculture—by studying how people grew food before the fossil fuel era, and also how natural ecosystems function. Tim studied agroecology at UC Santa Cruz, ecosystem ecology in Graduate Studies at Cornell University and in a post-doc at Stanford. Before coming to The Land Institute, he developed an agroecology program at Prescott College in Arizona.Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-crews-2080a015/https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-land-institute/Guest Website: https://landinstitute.org/our-work/new-roots-international/https://kernza.orgGuest Social: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-land-institute/https://www.instagram.com/thelandinstitute/https://www.facebook.com/TheLandInstituteAdditional Resources Mentioned:ARTICLE: Wheat On Repeat: A tantalizing new breed of climate-friendly crops never need replantingEPISODE: Regenerative Agriculture with Tom NewmarkEPISODE: How Regeneration Can Change the Future of Farming & Wine Making with Carlo MondaviEPISODE: How Regenerative Farming Can Solve The Climate Chaos with Mark EasterEPISODE: How Permaculture and Regeneration Can Lead to a Better World with StarhawkEPISODE: How Animal Sanctuaries Can Survive Severe Weather & Flooding with Helbard AlkhassadehBOOK: The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture by Wendell Berry
