Drinking water insecurity and related health outcomes often disproportionately impact Indigenous communities internationally. Understanding media coverage of these water-related issues can provide insight into the ways in which public perceptions are shaped, with potential implications for decision-making action. This study aimed to examine extent, range, nature newspaper drinking security Canadian communities. Using ProQuest database, we systematically searched screened articles published...

Abstract Climate change is expected to exacerbate existing food security challenges, especially in Indigenous communities worldwide. Community-based monitoring (CBM) considered a promising strategy improve of, and local adaptation climatic environmental change. Yet, it unclear how this approach can be applied or contexts. The objectives of paper are to: (1) review synthesize the published literature on CBM security; and, (2) identify gaps trends these efforts context climate Using systematic...

Since facing outbreaks of severe acute respiratory syndrome and avian influenza A in 2003, Vietnam has increasingly applied a One Health approach to address emerging infectious diseases animal origin. Here, we reflect on the challenges opportunities context zoonoses, food safety, antimicrobial resistance, drawing stocktake training, policy, research Vietnam. We also report results virtual consultation workshop held July 2021 with representatives from 32 institutions explore future...

Adopting One Health approaches is key for addressing interconnected health challenges. Yet, how to best put into practice in research-for-development initiatives aiming 'deliver impacts' remains unclear. Drawing on the CGIAR Initiative – a global initiative address zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and food water safety we reflect challenges during program conception implementation, prompting us suggest improvements multisectoral collaboration, coordination, communication. Our...

Abstract: The concept of Theory Change (ToC) is well established in the evaluation literature, underpinning substantial research and practice efforts. However, its ability to facilitate learning has been increasingly debated. objective this paper identify, characterize, evaluate concerns over use ToCs based on a review relevant studies. Seven are found: distinguishing from other approaches, conceptual vagueness, under-developed ToCs, under-contribution theoretical knowledge, uncertainty...

To solve the world’s most complex problems, research is increasingly moving toward more transdisciplinary endeavors. While a lot of important work has explored characteristics, challenges, opportunities, and operationalization research, much less known about circumstances that either facilitate or hinder process, particularly from perspectives graduate students who often participate in them. In this paper, we aim to address gap by contributing our own experiences as team four one community...

While evaluations play a critical role in accounting for and learning from context, it is unclear how can take account of climate change. Our objective was to explore change its interaction with other contextual factors influenced One Health food safety programs. To do so, we integrated questions about into qualitative evaluation study an ongoing, multi-sectoral program aiming improve pork Vietnam called SafePORK. We conducted remote interviews researchers ( n = 7) participants 23). Based on...

Abstract Addressing the urgent global climate crisis demands a rapid and meaningful expansion of “climate mainstreaming,” which refers to integration objectives in all aspects development programs policies. However, progress remains slow uneven due bottlenecks policy institutional change. Considering parallel struggle recorded over decades mainstream gender across same arenas, key question emerges: what can mainstreaming learn from mainstreaming? To answer this question, we review 57 policy,...

Gender equity is an increasingly discussed priority and cross-cutting theme within international development evaluation. However, it unclear whether advances being made in evaluating the outcomes this area are reflected scholarly literature. In context, a fundamental question is: How gender addressed evaluation? To answer question, we conducted meta-evaluation to identify, synthesize, assess published evaluation studies with focus on gender. We searched Web of Science™ Core Collection...

We applied an Ecohealth perspective into a State of the Environment report for Grey Bruce Health Unit and summarized environmental health data relevant public practice. aimed comprehensiveness in our compilation, including: standard media categories (e.g., air, water, land); ecological indicators vectors, forests, wetlands). Data sources included both primary (collected by organization) secondary (assembled others). organized with Driving forces-Pressure-State-Exposure-Effect-Action (DPSEEA)...

Sustainably intensifying agriculture to secure food for people, while minimizing the human, animal, and environmental health impacts is an unprecedented global security challenge. Action research needed understand mitigate impacts, with Ecosystem approaches (Ecohealth) emerging as a promising framework support such efforts. Yet, few have critically examined application of Ecohealth principles in agricultural context, particularly Southeast Asia where intensification rapidly expanding. In...

Abstract The discourse of ecology and sustainability has gained critical traction in recent years. But how are these concepts framed within the space, language idea exhibition? This panel discussion, moderated by Steven Lam conducted email July 2012, sought to unpack claims limits ecological, looking specifically at various international case studies, practice curatorial exhibition studies. discussion begins with a reflection on 'DON'T/PANIC' Durban 'Rethink – Contemporary Art Climate...

Many One Health programs are inherently complex, characterized by multiple perspectives from sectors, delivery across various scales, and a focus on complex problems at the convergence of people, animals, environment. This complexity makes them difficult to conceptualize, requiring frameworks organize different program components. Evaluation that unpack sequence events linking activities outcomes (e.g., Theory Change) track Outcome Mapping) show promise in supporting development programs....
