Community engagement is critical to the success of interventions like PMC, to promote target behaviors, foster community ownership, and enable feedback between caregivers, community members, providers, and decision-makers at all levels of the health system. At the beginning of the project, human-centered design techniques were used to elevate the voices and experiences of key community stakeholders in each partner country.   More than one year into PMC implementation through Plus Project, uptake is high and effective strategies are in place to reach children lost to follow-up because of early community buy-in.

Public services have increasingly drifted away from the communities they were designed to support. Adult social care is a prime example. But amidst the challenges lies a golden opportunity for transformation. The key? A cooperative ecosystem for adult social care that is deeply connected to local communities. In our recent Prioritising Public Services series blog, John Copps makes the case for a shift towards humanising care by keeping individuals close to their families, integrating them into their communities, and enabling them to age well in their own homes. This approach champions personalised, high quality care delivered by community-rooted providers. Discover how embracing cooperative principles can revolutionise adult social care and elevate community engagement.

Cultural competency or cultural humility? I love the transition in language from cultural competency to cultural humility. The idea of being "competent" in someone else's culture always seemed a bit absurd to me, especially as a white man who moves through society with so much ease. Thinking instead of being humble and recognizing that we will never fully understand other cultures (i.e., be competent in them) presents us with an opportunity to engage and a posture to listen. I will be attending this webinar hosted by NACCHO to listen to Dr. King talk about this topic and SO MUCH MORE. Will you join me?
