SUMMARY:EADI/ISS Webinar: Rethinking civil society in promoting solidarity and social change in constrained settings
DESCRIPTION:A vibrant civil society enhances solidarity\, social justice\, and peace. However\, opportunities to act for social change within civil societies are limited in many ways. Solidarity networks function in a way that might counter the conventional conceptualizations of civil society in Western scholarship. \nJointly organized by the International Institute of Social Studies and the European Association of Development Research and Training Institute (EADI)Opens external\, this webinar explores elaboration of local conceptualizations of civil society and development with focus on authoritarian\, conflict affected and fragile contexts characterized by lack or diminishing of democratic state-civil society relationships. \nThrough localized and contextualized notions of civil society and civic-driven change the panel seeks to understand the dynamics of emergence of agency for change in such non-democratic settings\, exercised by both established organizations and people’s everyday organizing. \nIn this webinar\, accepted papers for the panel HP122- Rethinking civil society in promoting solidarity and social change in constrained settingsOpens external will be presented and discussed. \nProgramme: \nOpening with the coordinators: Kees Biekart\, Tiina Kontinen\, Marianne Millstein \n 1.

SUMMARY:Water Productivity Masterclass Series: Socioeconomic Water Productivity
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is part five of a six-part masterclass series from the Water Productivity Improvement in Practice (WaterPIP) project. In this series\, we will provide attendees with a step-by-step approach to monitor and interpret irrigation performance indicators using open-source tools and provide context through applied case studies. Monitoring at different spatial scales will be discussed (including at crop level\, by irrigation scheme\, and in river basins) as well as monitoring techniques for biophysical and socioeconomic parameters of water productivity. \nWater productivity can be defined in various ways: in biophysical water productivity (yield per unit of water consumed\, kg/m3)\, economic water productivity (financial returns per unit of water consumed\, $/m3) and social objectives (stability\, equity\, employment\, food security\, etc.). Each definition reveals another piece of the puzzle\, but all of them are needed to provide a complete view of water productivity. \nThis masterclass webinar from WaterPIP is aimed at introducing different definitions of water productivity and how each definition inform a complex debate. After the completion of this webinar\, you will acquire a holistic understanding of the interconnections and trade-offs between different types of water productivities. You will also become familiar with a framework on how to assess different policy strategies related to water productivity. \nHow to attend\nYou can find more information on the Water Productivity Masterclass Series This link opens in a new tab at www.un-ihe.org/events  This link opens in a new taband www.thewaterchannel.tv/webinars This link opens in a new tab. \nDownload the flyer here This link opens in a new tab \nThis webinar series is free to attend and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Expert Lunch and Learn:  "How to Achieve Financial Sustainability as a base for Upscaling Impact?
DESCRIPTION:Assuming that a Civil Society Organization (CSO) has successfully measured their impact\, then the next step for them could be (or perhaps should be) to upscale. \nUpscaling in non-for-profit organizations is about increasing their social impact. To embark on this endeavour\, a few preconditions must be in place which the most important one is organizational sustainability. And to achieve that\, organizations need to arrange certain conditions among which are diversifying funding resources and increasing self-financing. In this Lunch & Learn session\, Somaye Dehban – founder of Your Funding Network – walks us through the types of upscaling and elaborates on funding diversification and means of self-financing. This session is a build upon the previous session on fundraising titled “Fundraising Revisited – The hidden treasure(s) in our existing set up”; yet\, if you have not attended that session\, you can still benefit from the knowledge shared during this session. Throughout the session\, there are opportunities for interaction\, so bring along your questions. \n \nEqual Opportunity to Thrive! \nSomaye wants a world in which everyone has the equal opportunity to thrive – to realize this\, she has devoted her life and career for the next decade to significantly and systematically contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goals. She does that by connecting unlikely allies to upscale their impact. As one of the forces and pillars for achieving the 2030 Agenda\, Somaye believes in the collective power of Civil Society Organizations and through Your Funding Network provides the means for their organizational sustainability. That is an absolute requirement for them for having the ability to upscale their impact. \nSomaye is currently pursuing a part-time PhD at Rotterdam School of Management in CSOs Impact Measurement and Impact Scale Up. Prior to this\, Somaye has studied Applied Mathematics in Computer Sciences\, Comparative Women’s Studies in Culture and Politics\, Global Education: Human Rights Dimension which has equipped her with the ability to perceive challenges from multiple and diverse angles. \nSomaye is actively engaged with the Dutch and Iranian political contexts: she is an ambassador of Sustainability Think Tank (Liberaal Groen) of the Dutch People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (Volkspartij voor Vrijheid en Democratie – VVD); and works with Iranian Civic Activists on how to bring about change at their personal and local environments through Change Management. \nSince 2017\, Somaye has been an IVLP fellow (International Visitors Leadership Program – the premier program of the U.S. Department of States) in NGO Management & Civic Engagement. She has also been recognized for her efforts in empowering women throughout her career by Erasmus Centre for Women and Organizations and receiving the International Women’s Day Award in 2017. \nSomaye serves as a member of the advisory board of several organizations such as RUG/Campus Fryslan\, Nederland Filantropieland (merged with Goede Doelen Nederland)\, Spark Women and Netwerk VN-Vrouwenverdrag. \nSomaye lives with her partner Remko and their two sons\, Jeso and Robert\, in the east of Utrecht\, the Netherlands.
