The paper explores the centrality of community-based education and training in addressing constraints and opportunities for wastewater management in Uganda. To be sustainable, wastewater management need to be conceived in terms of socio-economic incentives, community action, group pressure and social capital. It is assumed that communities could be motivated to undertake sustainable wastewater disposal activities if concrete benefits are demonstrated. The benefits include among others; reducing expenditure on health; improvement of the fisheries sector and the use of wastewater for crop farming. The paper is based on a study that analyzed the role of socio-economic incentives and Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) in sustainable management of wastewater. Data was collected through personal interviews, documents analysis and review of recent studies on wastewater reuse in Uganda. Focus was put on districts of Mukono, Buikwe and Kayunga in central Uganda. Findings reveal that in line with the Hydro-Social-Health cycle, physical, social, political, economic, and cultural factors converge to influence wastewater management. The paper duly describes innovative education and training approaches based on Communal Water Protection Units (COWAPU) facilitated by multidisciplinary Water Professionals and Educators (WAPE).It is concluded that it is possible to operate a complete sanitation system without subsidies.

This paper examines The Atlantic Philanthropies investment in dementia in Ireland and its impact on the dementia landscape, particularly in relation to policy. Atlantic has directly invested €33 million in dementia in Ireland and leveraged a further €51 million from grantees, resulting in a total spend of €83 million between 2011 and 2016. The investment was broad and far reaching, encapsulating support for personalised community-based care, brain health, advocacy, education and training in dementia, culminating in support for the formulation and implementation of the first National Dementia Strategy in Ireland. Investing in the right people was a key feature of the Atlantic programme and one of the main drivers of its success. A close and credible relationship with government was also important for success. So too was an emphasis on evidence and evaluation, which has been a long-standing trait of Atlantic’s involvement in public policy in Ireland, as well as being influential in overall public service reform in the country. It is difficult to determine what the dementia landscape in Ireland might look like if Atlantic had not invested in the area, but even if one accepts the view that change would have come eventually, Atlantic ensured that it came much faster and in a more coherent manner.

Abstract This paper reviews recommendations for a variety of opportunities to improve education and training of the health care workforce on the health impacts of SIL and clinical approaches for assessment as well as testing different approaches for such education and training. The fifth goal of the NASEM study is to “strengthen ties between the health care system and community-based networks and resources.” Similar to other social determinants of health, addressing SIL will require coordinated efforts among a variety of stakeholders. This paper reviews recommendations for improving coordination, including team-based care and promotion of tailored community-based services, as well as the creation of a centralized repository for new evidence and best practices. Finally, connections between this NASEM study and the 2019 report Integrating Social Care into the Delivery of Health Care are discussed. Part of a symposium sponsored by Loneliness and Social Isolation Interest Group.

Podiatric medicine faces some significant challenges that threaten its future growth and development. The California Liaison Committee for Podiatric Medical Education and Training exemplifies an innovative approach to meeting these challenges. The California Liaison Committee has established a dialogue among California's college-based and community-based podiatric medical educators, licensing board members, and private practitioners. The work of the California Liaison Committee, unprecedented in the state, effectively facilitates the curriculum transformation process through cooperation and collaboration.
