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.

The Community Action Programme for Education and Training for Technology (COMETT) played a key role in paving the way for increased cooperation between the member states of the European Community (EC) in the field of education and in the promotion of intra-Europe mobility. In this article, COMETT is considered as a non-traditional education and training programme for solving economic challenges in the context of technological change that was focused on the training of a highly skilled workforce. The process of setting the agenda for COMETT is studied through an analysis of official EC policy documents and archival material from the EU’s historical archives in Florence. Our analysis suggests that the challenge posed by new information technologies acted as a catalyst for a new approach to education governance that was based on closer cooperation between European universities and industry. Promoting intra-Europe mobility among highly skilled workers and students was a key part of the programme, which defined an economic and social strategy for Europe in response to technological change. Educational and social goals were secondary in the design and implementation of the COMETT programme, which, first and foremost, was motivated by the EC agenda to boost the competitiveness of European industry.

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.
