An Imperative to Support Local Innovation in the Health Sector

Innovation and global health have always gone hand in hand. From the early days of halting the spread of disease through behavior change campaigns on handwashing and vaccines, to a global, coordinated response to the HIV/AIDS crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, the development of new tools and approaches in support of improved human health is…

Transforming Ukraine’s District Heating: Technology to the Rescue

Ukraine’s District Heating systems have been a critical part of the country’s support for its citizens for decades; however, the current state of its systems is inefficient and outdated fossil-fueled equipment that has contributed to an economic drag on the country’s energy sector for many years. These systems require significant costs to maintain and operate…

The Upsides and Downsides of Increasing Regional Manufacturing

The COVID-19 pandemic catapulted supply chain management and resilience into the spotlight as never before. We all learned first-hand how global supply chains, which focus on efficiency and cost control, were vulnerable to supply-side (COVID-19 control measures, such as trade and travel restrictions) and demand-side (panic buying) disruptions.

Through Localization, Colombia is Driving Employment for Migrants

Around the world, migrants, refugees, and returnees struggle to find quality, dignified livelihoods with which to rebuild their lives in their new communities. For receptor communities, the arrival of migrants can be destabilizing, stoking fears of worker displacement and increased crime; and assistance for migrants can foster or exacerbate xenophobic sentiments.

On September 2023, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) reported that it documented 686 deaths and disappearances of migrants on the US-Mexico border in 2022, making it the deadliest land route for migrants worldwide. The IOM also notes that from 2014 through October 2023, 8,254 migrants have been recorded as dead or missing in the…

Study Exchange Visits: Embracing an Impactful Opportunity

Far too often, international development projects, caught in their own hustle and bustle, don’t commit the time and energy to engage with similar projects across the country, region, or world. Study Exchange Visits offer an engaging opportunity for development practitioners and policy makers to connect across similarities and differences. In short, Study Exchange Visits involve…

As the critical global shift towards mainstreaming mental health interventions increases, transformative and accessible methodologies such as the use of Trauma-Informed Approaches become more essential.
