Community participation is a core principle of development work, but the development community needs to start asking itself some hard questions about just now empowering their work truly is. Our lead discussant, Dr. Susan Rifkin, brings 40 years of international development, public health, and academic experience. She'll share a case study of empowering work with community health workers in Iran, highlighting the use of three visualization tools: mapping, prioritization matrix, and a visioning matrix. Then, she'll engage the group in some reflection about the participatory nature of their own work and opportunities to really move towards empowerment. Find more information at this link.

This event offers a platform for worldwide researchers and scientists from academia, industry and government to discuss proposals and disseminate results on sustainable energy and materials and its impact on engineering and our environment.

Deadline for abstract submissions is January 26th, 2017. Find more information on their website and submit your paper here.

The humanitarian world has made a significant shift towards using cash to help vulnerable people meet their needs, including food security. Despite a growing evidence base, much of the collective experience is in rural areas. How can cash-based approaches meet food security needs in urban crises? Is cash different in an urban context? What are the challenges and lessons learned?

This webinar will explore the shift towards humanitarian cash programming. It will have a mixture of global perspectives and specific country program examples. There will be speakers from CRS, NRC, WFP, and the American Red Cross. Register  here.
