Summary
This study shows how community involvement transformed Tajikistan
Area of Science:
- Social Sciences
- Development Studies
- Public Health
Background:
- Traditional state-run baby homes in Tajikistan were transformed into community-oriented Family and Child Support Centres (FCSC).
- This transition aimed to shift responsibility and accountability from international actors to local ownership.
Approach:
- Systematic reflection on the transformation journey using participant interviews.
- Application of a 'measurement for change' (M4C) approach integrating Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL).
- Utilized a network-mapping tool and a journey framework to analyze the process.
Key Points:
- Community consultation and distributed leadership were crucial for decolonizing social services.
- Innovations become sustainable when integrated into local social, cultural, and political life.
- MEL processes must be responsive to project influences over time, not fixed at the start.
Conclusions:
- The M4C approach provided insights into local ownership and sustainable management.
- Evidence shows progress towards decolonization and centering local priorities in social service implementation.
- Continued partnership is essential for strengthening impact and accountability in decolonized social services.

01:37Social Loafing
34.8K
Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

The International System of Units or SI system, by international agreement, has fixed measurement units for seven fundamental properties: length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, amount of substance, and luminosity. These are called the SI base units.

03:38Measurement: Standard Units

Every measurement provides three kinds of information: the size or magnitude of the measurement (a number), a standard of comparison for the measurement (a unit), and an indication of the uncertainty of the measurement. While the number and unit are explicitly represented when a quantity is written, the uncertainty is an aspect of the errors in the measurement results.

01:21Distributed Loads: Problem Solving
668
Beams are structural elements commonly employed in engineering applications requiring different load-carrying capacities. The first step in analyzing a beam under a distributed load is to simplify the problem by dividing the load into smaller regions, which allows one to consider each region separately and calculate the magnitude of the equivalent resultant load acting on each portion of the beam. The magnitude of the equivalent resultant load for each region can be determined by calculating...

As a system undergoes a change, its internal energy can change, and energy can be transferred from the system to the surroundings, or from the surroundings to the system.

2.1K
Effective communication is the foundation of a good organization. Communication is the lifeblood of an organization that connects the group with messages. In an organization, communication occurs in upward, downward, and horizontal lines. Downward communication travels from the administrative and senior levels to the staff through official channels such as manuals, rules and regulations, and organizational charts. Staff members initiate upward communication, which is addressed to executives and...
