Building Communities of Practice (CoPs) for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs); the theme of ARM 2005 already has two acronyms! Communities of Practice (CoPs) is a concept that demonstrates the effectiveness of wilful knowledge sharing, collaboration and action over a common concern. These days, the MDGs are mostly referred to as the Minimum Development Goals, as they proffer only the lowest possible benchmarks of human development. To these two acronyms, I wish to add a third one in Multi Stakeholder Partnerships (MSPs), a concept which became a sensational highpoint of the ARM meeting. For OneWorld, MSPs are quite important as most of the organisational knowledge emerges out of our experiences with various stakeholders, in all the sectors. I personally subscribe to the idea of bringing together the expertise that is available in cross-sectors to realise the Himalayan task of achieving the MDGs, even though many critics consider them to be the minimum goals. For OneWorld South Asia, the meeting helped in concretising its new operational strategy in the region. The vision of OneWorld South Asia – voicing the voiceless – brings forth two main challenges: a) Amplifying the concerns of the voiceless through MSP-based CoPs using Information, Communications and Technologies ( ICTs). b) Creating communication opportunities for the voiceless so that they are able to voice their concerns themselves. As OneWorld attempts to face the above mentioned challenges, it also strives to realise its overarching mission of Connecting Communities and Empowering People. I am glad to note that the meeting clearly reiterated the need for strengthening and building CoPs for a coordinated and strategic action towards achieving the MDGs. While it emerged that ICTs do offer new opportunities for building CoPs, the deliberations also led to the identification of ways and means to mainstream ICTs in developmental initiatives. I am thankful to all those who attended the ARM 2005; for you helped to shape the discussions into a meaningful beginning, for a new OneWorld South Asia’s operational strategy. You would, I promise, witness a number of CoPs emerging in the forthcoming months and years. The ethos of OneWorld would continue to help us develop collaborative, coherent and well meaning strategies to achieve the MDGs. I wish you the best as you browse through this report and use some of the learning points in your I am glad to note that own areas. At OneWorld, my team members and I are committed to support you in your work as the meeting clearly you deem appropriate. reiterated the need for With warm personal regards strengthening and building CoPs for a coordinated and Basheerhamad Shadrach strategic action towards Director achieving the MDGs. OneWorld South Asia New Delhi E-mail: [email protected] Building Communities of Practice for achieving the Millennium Development Goals 3 Executive Summary The Annual Regional Meeting (ARM) 2005 was a milestone, a vantage point from which OneWorld South Asia (OWSA), its trustees, partners and other development professionals could review the progress for the preceding year and plan strategies for the coming year. It was also an opportunity to consolidate its identity as a grassroots communications organisation based in India, and serving in South Asia and focused on “voicing the voiceless by the voiceless themselves”. Rationale OWSA sees itself as a platform for development, which complements global partnerships engaged in the realisation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and committed to the broader Millennium Declaration. OWSA believes that the achievement of the eight MDGs calls for a focussed and consistent endeavour, not only by governments, but all stakeholders from the world over. Given the current emphasis on knowledge intensive development efforts globally, it was felt that knowledge needs to be integrated in the life of communities that share similar values, beliefs, languages and approaches for empowering the underprivileged. Communities of Practice (CoPs) can significantly contribute to the ability of all the stakeholders to learn and share knowledge and experiences to achieve the MDGs. Therefore OWSA adopted the theme “Building Communities of Practice (CoPs) for Achieving the MDGs” for its regional meeting this year. It was also important to explore the role of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) in building CoPs, because of their great potential to facilitate networking and knowledge-sharing amongst development communities around the world. The Secretary-General for U.N, Mr. Kofi Annan said in his opening address at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), December 2003, “We are all familiar with the extraordinary power of Information and Communications Technologies. From trade to telemedicine, from education to environmental protection, we have in our hands, on our desktops and in the skies above, the ability to improve standards of living for millions of people on this planet MDGs. We have tools that can propel us towards the instruments with which to advance the cause of freedom and democracy, vehicles with which to propagate knowledge and mutual understanding. We have all of this potential. The challenge … is what to do with it.” Building Communities of Practice for achieving the Millennium Development Goals Fourth 4 Annual Regional Meeting March 3-4, 2005 ICTs are thus expected to play a key role in the development process, and it is up to the community to understand the potential of ICTs through sharing of best practices and by adapting feasible solutions throughout the region. The meeting was expected to facilitate this knowledge sharing as well. Proceedings More than 500 development professionals, including 82 from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka, actively participated in the proceedings. The expected outcome was to start a process that would enable the development community to build CoPs for achieving the MDGs in partnership with multiple stakeholders at the national level, to begin with in India. This programme is expected to give impetus to similar initiatives in other countries across South Asia.

  • 1 Submissions to the Task Force Constituted To
    1 SUBMISSIONS TO THE TASK FORCE CONSTITUTED TO EXAMINE MATTERS PERTAINING TO AGE OF MOTHERHOOD AMONG OTHER CONCERNS NATIONAL COALITION ADVOCATING FOR ADOLESCENT CONCERNS 9th JULY 2020 We are a coalition of 21 organisations from across the country, working with children and adolescents on empowerment, education, life skills, health, sexual and reproductive health information and services, child marriage, gender based violence, sexual abuse and restorative justice, in urban, rural and tribal contexts.1 This submission draws upon our collective learnings – through provision of direct services, community-based intervention and research related to concerns that impact the lives of girls through adolescence and young adulthood - to support the Task Force in their reflections on underage marriage, and its intersections with maternal health outcomes, education and the law. At the outset, we draw attention to the national data which shows a decline in child marriage in the last decade (from 46% to 27% for women, and 29% to 20% for men) and an increase in the median age of marriage (from 17.2 years to 19 years for women, and from 22.6 to 24.5 years for men).2 Given a gradual but sustained increase in age at marriage, we question the need for increasing legal age at marriage for girls, or declaring underage marriages void – which will artificially expand the numbers of married persons deemed ‘underage’ and criminalise them, and render underage married girls without legal protection. We caution against an increase in legal age at marriage from 18 to 21 years for girls for the reasons detailed below. Instead, transformative, well-resourced measures that increase girls’ access to education and health, create enabling opportunities and place girls’ empowerment at the centre will not just delay marriage, but lead to long term, positive health and educational outcomes.

  • Interventions on Child Labour in South Asia
    Helpdesk Report Interventions on Child Labour in South Asia Pearl Boateng Education Development Trust 16 May 2017 Question What are the key interventions on child labour and what organisations are carrying them out? Have rigorous research and/or impact evaluations been carried out? Contents 1. Overview 2. Advocacy and Programming 3. Programmatic Interventions & Technical Assistance 4. Impact Evaluations and Research 5. References 1. Overview This Help Desk Report highlights the key interventions on child labour in South Asia at a local, national, regional, and international level. The three principal international conventions on child labour (Minimum Age to Employment Convention, 1973 (No. 138), Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999 (No. 182) and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child 1989, together set the legal parameters for child labour and provide the legal foundations for national and international action against it. Whilst advocacy efforts are the predominant type of intervention, it is difficult to attribute the successes in ratifying conventions and implementing legislative policies and powers to any one organisation or campaign. Notwithstanding, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) continues to lead in this area due to their global presence, funding and partnerships internationally, regionally and nationally. A number of other actors including a number of regional level strategic policy and technical alliances also engage in programmatic support and technical The K4D helpdesk service provides brief summaries of current research, evidence, and lessons learned.
