What is the best way to effectively identify and notify the public concerned about proposed activities affecting the environment? Are countries providing early public participation when all options, including the zero option (doing nothing), are genuinely open? Is it right if at public hearings the audience consists of a large group of men in suits with no elderly persons or women? How can Aarhus principles help peacebuilding in Myanmar and China? What are the obstacles to effective public participation in national climate change-related decision-making on the way to the Paris agreement?. These were some of the questions discussed at a meeting of the Task Force on Public Participation in Decision-making under the Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters (Aarhus Convention), held in Geneva on 23 and 24 February 2015 under the leadership of Italy.

Biomedical research policy in many countries has adopted the principle of active involvement in research. However, how different approaches to involvement such as patient and public involvement/engagement (PPIE), qualitative research, participatory research, co-design and co-production sit alongside each other, is contentious and unclear. There has also been a subtle shift in the discourse, with the language of co-design and co-production used more widely in debates about involvement. This shift has surfaced once again debates about what counts as meaningful involvement. In this paper we seek to contribute to this debate by exploring boundaries and overlaps between them. We suggest that they share some underpinning philosophies and all are prone to be challenged on the grounds of tokenism despite avowed good intentions. We argue that these different approaches are not necessarily as distinct as is often advocated and question whether there is merit in this family of marginalised approaches ...

Applications are reviewed by peer review program staff and evaluated in the following areas: advocacy (not applicable to military personnel on active duty), interest in science, communication skills, and participatory skills (click here for link to How You Are Evaluated ). The final step involves a brief telephone interview to ascertain a nominees understanding of the peer review process, ability to speak and answer questions comfortably, and willingness to serve as a consumer reviewer. Once these steps are completed, interested consumers are scheduled for specific meeting dates. If more eligible consumers are identified than the program requires for that fiscal year, a selection of those eligible to serve is made based on several factors to best fill available positions and ensure representation of the community. Eligible consumers who are not selected are placed in a network of eligible candidates and may be selected to serve in the future ...

In the late 1970s, and in the face of strong new environmental laws, federal and state agencies adopted new community consultation strategies. Foremost among these were National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) requirements, sunshine laws, and the use of public meetings whenever new policies, projects and plans were proposed.. Called by different names-public consultation, civic participation, stakeholder engagement -they promised (1) earlier notice of impending decisions; (2) more responsiveness from slow-moving,. underfunded, and sometimes secretive bureaucracies; (3) additional opportunities for and attention to diverse voices; (4) a more level playing field between government, corporations and communities; (5) new checks and balances against authoritative decision-making; and (6) more transparent and informed decision making.. Three decades later, too many public meetings have become perfunctory tick-the-box compliance exercises, or simply fresh combat zones for old ideological wars. ...

The Alliance for Rural Democracy welcomes the judgement handed down by the Constitutional Court yesterday declaring the Restitution of Land Rights Amendment Act 15 of 2014 invalid.. The case, brought by civil society and community-based organisations including affiliates of the ARD, concerned Parliaments obligation to facilitate public participation in its legislative process. In finding that the National Council of Provinces had failed to allow enough time for proper consultation on this Amendment Act, the Court said:. Given the gravitas of the legislation and the thoroughgoing public participation process that it warranted, the truncated timeline was inherently unreasonable. Objectively, on the terms stipulated by the timeline, it was simply impossible for the NCOP - and by extension the Provincial Legislatures - to afford the public a meaningful opportunity to participate.. The Court ordered that all claims lodged after 1 July 2014 should be put on hold until earlier claims are settled. ...

Once a project is put on the Union list, it is dubbed crucial for the EUs energy policy. Giving projects such priority status is hoped to stop any discussions about their necessity during the permit granting process before they even start. As part of the efforts to speed up permitting procedures, the Infrastructure Regulation also provides particular rules for public participation.. First, the member states (or rather, their competent authorities) draw up a manual of procedures. This must contain information about the applicable law, the necessary decisions and opinions, the contact details of the competent authorities etc. In the interest of increased transparency, project promoters must hand in a concept for public participation at the beginning of the permit granting process. Before the final and complete application file is handed in, a public consultation must take place. This aims e.g. to identify the most suitable location or trajectory for the infrastructure to be built. As part of this ...

California has a unique variant of anti-SLAPP legislation. In 1992 California enacted Code of Civil Procedure § 425.16, a statute intended to frustrate SLAPPs by providing a quick and inexpensive defense.[6] It provides for a special motion that a defendant can file at the outset of a lawsuit to strike a complaint when it arises from conduct that falls within the rights of petition or free speech. The statute expressly applies to any writing or speech made in connection with an issue under consideration or review by a legislative, executive, or judicial proceeding, or any other official proceeding authorized by law, but there is no requirement that the writing or speech be promulgated directly to the official body. It also applies to speech in a public forum about an issue of public interest and to any other petition or speech conduct about an issue of public interest. To win on an anti-SLAPP (special motion to strike) motion, the defendant in the alleged SLAPP action must first show that the ...

Community development is a big part of life at Eclipse. It is strongly recommended that you identify somebody on your team to be responsible for community development activities. To cultivate a vibrant community of users, adopters, and committers, a project has to have somebody who is responsible for community development. Somebody has to own it. Everybody on the project team has to dedicate some significant amount of their time to community development, but one person on the team has to be responsible for it. For some projects, this may be a full time job; for others, it may be a huge part of one. In fact, may open source projects have more than one full time person working on community development. In some circles, this role might be called the projects evangelist, or maybe its the project lead that manages community development. Whatever the title, the role should be that of making everybody else successful in community development activities. Please see Community Development for Eclipse ...

Mam Kolley moved to the village of Hella Kunda in The Gambia when the community was implementing the Kobi, the second phase of Tostans Community Empowerment Program (CEP).. The CEP is a three-year program providing community participants with essential knowledge and skills, setting a foundation for communities to take direct control of their needs and development. Originally from Farafenni in the Northern Bank Region of The Gambia, Mam was trained as a Forestry Officer and relocated to Hella Kunda in the Upper River Region (URR).

Objective: Visualisation methods, primarily color-coded representation of sequence data, have been a predominant means of representation of DNA data. Algorithmic conversion of DNA sequence data to sound - sonification - represents an alternative means of representation that uses a different range of human sensory perception. We propose that sonification has value for public engagement with DNA sequence information because it has potential to be entertaining as well as informative. We conduct preliminary work to explore the potential of DNA sequence sonification in public engagement with bioinformatics. We apply a simple sonification technique for DNA, in which each DNA base is represented by a specific note. Additionally, a beat may be added to indicate codon boundaries or for musical effect. We report a brief analysis from public engagement events we conducted that featured this method of sonification. Results: We report on use of DNA sequence sonification at two public events. Sonification has ...

BACKGROUND: Community engagement has been recognised as an important aspect of the ethical conduct of biomedical research, especially when research is focused on ethnically or culturally distinct populations. While this is a generally accepted tenet of biomedical research, it is unclear what components are necessary for effective community engagement, particularly in the context of genomic research in Africa. METHODS: We conducted a review of the published literature to identify the community engagement strategies that can support the successful implementation of genomic studies in Africa. Our search strategy involved using online databases, Pubmed (National Library of Medicine), Medline and Google scholar. Search terms included a combination of the following: community engagement, community advisory boards, community consultation, community participation, effectiveness, genetic and genomic research, Africa, developing countries. RESULTS: A total of 44 articles and 1 thesis were retrieved of which 38

The high school students who took part in this research project were those that are typically underrepresented on the campuses of colleges and universities. Underrepresented students may, for one reason or another, be left out of the college-going culture and discussion in their [End Page 57] high schools. They often lack opportunities to engage in the most high-impact educational practices and may be unable to envision themselves in these roles. In preliminary interviews with the scholar-researchers, many indicated that their image of a researcher was a white man in a white lab coat, someone who looked nothing like them or their families, far removed from their worlds. They did not see themselves as potential researchers of any kind, and yet these same students overwhelmingly said yes when asked if they would like to participate in a research project, to learn to become researchers, and to devote substantial time and energy to better understanding the problems of college access in their ...

The numbers do not lie, 88% of consumers wish to be helped by businesses to make a change for the better (Townsend, 2018). Indeed, in corporations lies a forceful power to support new directions alike the current ethical transition.. Yet, a wish for more sustainable communications does not necessarily mean that any would be well received, as shows the recent Meridian hiccup in New Zealand- the brand having been called off for unsupported green claims. When in doubt, the literature can often provide very relevant insights on how to deliver appropriate CSR communications: 1.Your communication plans are dictated by the consumers involvement (Edinger-Schons et al., 2018; Moon et al., 2016).. As a point of fact, consumers which are highly involved with the green lifestyle would rather hear intrinsic communication, while for the less connected ones a mix of the two is more beneficial (Edinger-Schons et al., 2018).. Moreover, predispositions to green messages also impact how the audience would prefer ...

Recently, the City of Boston announced the creation of the Acquisition Opportunity Program, a $7.5 million loan fund designed to keep currently-affordable rents low. LISC Boston was instrumental in the development of this anti-displacement strategy, and we applaud the Citys commitment to mitigating the impact of gentrification.. In 2014, we and the Massachusetts Association of Community Development Corporations (MACDC) formed the Gentrification Learning Community, a diverse group of residents, community development professionals, and neighborhood organizations, to study the issues causing displacement in our city. At the same time, along with our partners at The Boston Foundation and the Department of Neighborhood Development, we convened the Acquisition and Conversion Working Group, a consortium of more than 20 organizations including CDCs, funders, and city and state officials, to identify strategies for allowing low- and moderate-income people to stay in their homes..

As part of its efforts to promote quality product offering, Asharami Synergy, a Sahara Group Downstream Company has introduced a campaign to educate consumers on quality products and how to avoid low quality diesel. Raheem Akingbolu writes.. Most advertising campaigns are meant to achieve two things; educate the public and strengthening relationship with consumers. By so doing, the brand owner is simply preparing patrons of the brand to be capable of making informed decisions when it comes to purchasing products in a consumer culture.. In a country where stakeholders concern is on how to curb the activities of the perpetrators of adulterated products, it is always the joy of consumers to see companies leading the campaign against the abnormal development. That is why the recently unveiled diesel to your doorstep initiative by Asharami Synergy, a Sahara Group Downstream Company, has continued to generate excitements in the market place. Through, the Value for Money campaign, the promoters of ...

In addition to aligning with private media on using social media to disseminate information in a timely manner, he also encouraged public participation. Strong communication fosters trust between people, which in turn inspires citizens to get involved in their communities..
