Ukraine, at times, seems to be a country of contradictions. The necessity of living every-day lives while under constant threat of war and bombings perhaps is the most obvious example. I saw these billboards as speaking to this duality in an ironic way. There are large billboards covering the sides of two buildings next to each other a few blocks away from my hotel. The first is a dramatic acknowledgement of those defending Ukraine among flames, situated right next to an advertisement of the latest fashion. Reminders of war and the need to live normal lives in the midst of it all. #mentalhealth URC

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay, a time to recognize how safe, healthy working environments can act as a protective factor for mental health. How can colleagues become effective mental health advocates in the workplace? We posed this question to our in-house experts. Read their answers: https://lnkd.in/eYNgDbHX

Data entry training sounds mundane. But this effort, supported by a URC-implemented project in Cambodia, has helped public hospital pharmacy storekeepers such as Vert Srey Roth significantly reduce drug stock outs. Read how: https://bit.ly/3YdLXLt #EndMalaria

Excited to share some key takeaways from our 8th #StakeholdersMeeting, where Armenia’s civil society organizations (CSOs) took a deep dive into the draft 2025 social protection budget! 💼 Engaging presentations by Susanna Yeghiazaryan and Karine Harutyunyan sparked dynamic conversations around crucial issues such as budget shifts in the social protection sector, the growing importance of non-financial indicators in budget analysis, and how CSOs can actively shape public finance decisions. With the co-facilitation of MOLSA Secretary General Samvel Muradyan, CSO representatives also explored MOLSA’s innovative triage system for emergency situations and reviewed the evaluation results of the domestic violence prevention budget program. These collaborative discussions are driving changes in public financial management and social protection strategies. A special shoutout to our MOLSA colleagues Eline Santrosyan, Sophie Bostanchyan, and Garnik Nalbandyan for their invaluable contributions! 🚀Looking forward to building on this momentum in future sessions—stay tuned! #PublicFinanceManagement #CivilSociety #StakeholderEngagement #BudgetProcess #SocialProtection #MOLSA #PFM

Dr. Ersin Topcuoglu, URC Senior Portfolio Director, presented three posters at the International Society for Quality in Health Care 40th International Conference in Istanbul in late September. They covered USAID’s TB Platforms Activity: · Using AI-powered, computer-aided TB case finding; · Developing referral guidelines to integrate TB care into universal health care; and · Building the capacity of supervisors and program managers in the Philippines. Great job, Ersin! ISQua #EndTB #ISQua2024
