Bridge International Academies not only delivers highly detailed lesson guides to teachers using tablet computers, it also standardizes systems for daily teacher monitoring and feedback, school construction, and financial management. At the time of the study, Bridge operated over 400 private schools serving more than 100,000 pupils. It hired teachers with less formal education and experience than public school teachers, paid them less, and had more working hours per week. Enrolling at Bridge for two years increased test scores by 0.89 additional equivalent years of schooling (EYS) for primary school pupils and by 1.48 EYS for pre-primary pupils. These effects are in the 99th percentile of effects found for at-scale programs studied in a recent survey. Enrolling at Bridge reduced both dispersion in test scores and grade repetition. Test score results do not seem to be driven by rote memorization or by income effects of the scholarship.</p></div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-research-type--published-research.html.twig * field--node--field-research-type.html.twig * field--node--published-research.html.twig * field--field-research-type.html.twig * field--list-string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="published-research__field-research-type">Working Paper</div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-relfocus--published-research.html.twig * field--node--field-relfocus.html.twig * field--node--published-research.html.twig * field--field-relfocus.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="published-research__field-relfocus"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/56" hreflang="en">Education</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/462" hreflang="en">International Development</a></div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-website--published-research.html.twig * field--node--field-website.html.twig * field--node--published-research.html.twig * field--field-website.html.twig * field--link.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="published-research__field-website"><a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4129184">Link to Working Paper</a></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-when--published-research.html.twig * field--node--field-when.html.twig * field--node--published-research.html.twig * field--field-when.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="published-research__field-when">Jun 21, 2022</div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-hidden-people--published-research.html.twig * field--node--field-hidden-people.html.twig * field--node--published-research.html.twig * field--field-hidden-people.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="published-research__field-hidden-people"> <div class="field__item">851</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-header--published-research.html.twig * field--node--field-header.html.twig * field--node--published-research.html.twig * field--field-header.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="published-research__field-header">Can Education be Standardized?

It’s time to make it a reality for more families.</h3> <p>Everyone reading this has likely experienced, or knows someone who has experienced, childcare challenges during the <a href="https://www.unicef.org/coronavirus/covid-19">COVID-19 pandemic</a>. After all, lockdowns and physical distancing left millions of parents struggling to find childcare while continuing to work. Although more attention has now been given to the childcare issue – in low-income as well as high- and middle-income countries – the specific challenges facing families in acute and protracted crises are still being overlooked.</p> <p>According to the World Bank, <a href="https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/handle/10986/35062/Better-Jobs-and-Brighter-Futures-Investing-in-Childcare-to-Build-Human-Capital.pdf?sequence=5&amp;isAllowed=y">more than 40 per cent</a> of all children below primary-school entry age do not have access to the childcare they need, including millions of children and their caregivers affected by humanitarian crises and the COVID-19 pandemic. Childcare is especially important in humanitarian settings. In these contexts, primary caregivers often have fewer resources and less time to provide socioemotional and cognitive stimulation for their children while taking care of themselves.</p> <p>In addition, children in humanitarian settings are more likely to be living in unsafe environments, especially during crises with high levels of violence or displacement, putting them at higher risk of abuse and neglect. The provision of childcare is about more than just ensuring that children are being supervised in a safe environment – it’s also an opportunity to provide other services, such as healthcare and nutrition, water and sanitation, stimulation and responsive care and opportunities for early learning, all of which are crucial to early childhood development.</p> <h5>Coping in crises  </h5> <p>When high-quality childcare is available, children have the chance to build strong, close relationships with caregivers and receive support managing stress, which is essential in helping them deal with conflict and crisis. It can also bring back a sense of normalcy in their lives. Meanwhile, caregivers – especially women who carry the burden of care because of cultural norms – get some respite from childcare responsibilities, which can boost their mental health and give them much-needed time to work, collect food, access shelter, and/or carry out other tasks to support their families and cope with crisis. Access to childcare also gives young girls, who too often have to care for younger children, an opportunity to attend school. </p> <p>But what could childcare in emergency context look like? A <a href="https://www.unicef.org/reports/childcare-humanitarian-crises">new brief by UNICEF and the University of Virginia Humanitarian Collaborative</a> identifies critical elements for effective childcare in emergency contexts, and highlights three ways to deliver it.</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> </div> <div class="col-sm-12

U.S. southern border grew exponentially between 2012 and 2019—from just 340 to a whopping 185,134 (Figure 1). As a proportion of total Guatemalan apprehensions, those apprehended as family units grew from less than 5 percent to 70 percent in the same period. This increase happened before the pandemic, before the <a href="https://reliefweb.int/report/guatemala/central-america-hurricanes-eta-iota-6-months-operation-update-mdr43007">2020 hurricanes</a> that devastated parts of Central America, and before President Biden was elected. The underlying conditions driving migration predate these events and still exist today and—without an adequate policy response—seem set to continue.</p> <p>Family migration from Guatemala to the U.S. is associated with rural poverty and agricultural stress linked to climate change, as we show in our new <a href="https://dcid.sanford.duke.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2022/03/Migration-Policy-Brief-Guatemala-FINAL.pdf">policy brief</a>. Using data on apprehensions at the U.S. border, we explore the subnational areas of greatest out-migration from Guatemala. Increasing agricultural resilience to climate change, tackling rural poverty, and improving internal migration options will be the main components for providing viable domestic alternatives for Guatemalans who currently view migration as a necessity.</p> <p><strong>UNCHANGING POVERTY, CHANGING CLIMATE</strong></p> <p>Almost half of all people in Guatemala <a href="https://databank.worldbank.org/data/download/poverty/33EF03BB-9722-4AE2-ABC7-AA2972D68AFE/Global_POVEQ_GTM.pdf">live in poverty</a> and, the poverty rate rises to <a href="https://news.un.org/en/story/2020/08/1070862">nearly 80</a> percent for indigenous people, who make up more than 40 percent of the country’s population. Guatemala has the highest levels of <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7831302/#B7-ijerph-18-00773">childhood stunting</a> in Latin America and the sixth highest in the world, with rates in rural and indigenous communities more than 50 percent higher than national averages.

University of Virginia about his government’s policy on innovation and entrepreneurship as part of the Czechoslovak Society of Arts <span class="amp">&amp;</span> Sciences Regional Conference. The international conference was co-sponsored by the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy, the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures and the Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies.</p> <p>The Ambassador’s presentation, “The Slovak Entrepreneurial Ecosystem and the Visegrád Group of Four States,” covered recent efforts by the Slovak Embassy in Washington, DC, as well as the country’s government in Slovakia. Kmec discussed Slovakia’s role within the Visegrád Group (or V4), an economic and military alliance between Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Currently, Slovakia holds the presidency within the V4 and has created an innovation taskforce to encourage entrepreneurship in the four countries. He acknowledged that the group is not homogeneous as Slovakia is much smaller than the other countries.</p> <p>In his talk, Kmec discussed the European Union and its strategy to boost growth by empowering women economically. “If Europe is to survive, women need to be the economic engine.” Currently, the Slovak Embassy in Washington DC is working with stakeholders in Slovakia and is focused on reaching more strategic stakeholders in the U.S. One way they hope to accomplish this goal is through social media networks and engaging Slovaks living and working in the U.S. They are also involved in networking events at the Embassy, in New York City, Boston, Chicago and the West Coast.</p> <p>Kmec said they are focused on the areas of IT startups and cyber security. In partnership with Google, he and others organized a digital summit in Slovakia. There are also plans in the works to participate in the Tech Crunch conference and South by Southwest festival.</p> <p>“It’s a matter of changing mindsets in Slovakia, that’s why our main focus has been on the younger generation,” said Kmec. There are a high number of young Slovak professionals, including students studying abroad in the U.S., he stated. “We’re not concerned about a brain drain, but more about brain-sharing,” he said regarding his country’s young talent.</p> <p>In Slovakia, the government has been working on building the necessary infrastructure for entrepreneurship, such as providing conditions for the labor force to move from place to place and for cross-border cooperation. Kmec cited past experience with the Austrian government as a roadmap for future collaborations. However, he warned that there have been European cases of infrastructure investments that did not go as planned, “If you don’t invest in the know-how, the infrastructure will be meaningless.”</p>

One strand of my research explores how children start a criminal career in drug trafficking and gangs as well as the consequences of organized crime on economic development and state capacity. In particular, I have work on the development of criminal skills in drug trafficking organizations in Peru and gangs in El Salvador. In addition, I study how criminal organizations such as gangs and drug trafficking groups affect household’s behavior and state presence in the areas they control.  I am also working with governments to design and evaluate public policies in narcotraffic and gang controlled areas analyzing large administrative datasets .</p> <p>Another strand of my research studies the role of state capacity to deter and improve service-delivery to reduce gender-based violence. In particular, I am studying the effects of women police officers in Peru and police street patrolling in India. In addition to this research, I have ongoing collaborative research projects in the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Colombia, Mozambique, Jordan, Bangladesh and the US.</p></div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT

'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/filter-caption.html.twig' --><p>Lucy Bassett has focused her nonprofit work and recent research on the U.S.-Mexico border crisis, specifically a makeshift refugee camp in Matamoros, Mexico, a sprawling compound of improvised shelters separated from Texas by just a few yards of dirt and the Rio Grande.</p> <p>As it happens, Matamoros is also the subject of a Bruce Springsteen song, “Matamoros Banks.”</p> <p>Last month, the singer used his considerable spotlight to highlight – and donate to – the work that Bassett, an associate professor of practice in the University of Virginia’s Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy, and her colleagues are doing through the Charlottesville-based nonprofit Project Adelante. Springsteen heard about Project Adelante through UVA Miller Center Director and CEO William Antholis with the support of politics and public policy professor David Leblang, who has been working with scholars across Grounds on immigration issues.</p> <p>The singer’s call came as the number of refugees at the camp increased, following a recent White House policy requiring asylum-seekers to stay in Mexico for the duration of their immigration proceedings. This is in contrast to a previous practice where people were able to wait in the United States, often in safer conditions.</p> <p>As a professor of practice, Bassett combines teaching with public policy work outside of UVA, mostly on child-focused humanitarian programming. Prior to coming to UVA, she worked at the World Bank as an education and social protection specialist for 10 years, and has also worked at UNICEF, the World Food Programme, Save the Children and the international Food Policy Research Institute.</p> <p>Bassett co-founded Project Adelante with lawyer Kristin Clarens and Rev.

The nonprofit aims to raise awareness, conduct research and contribute to solutions to humanitarian issues at the border, especially helping the thousands of children who are waiting for their families’ asylum applications to be processed.</p> <p>The project works closely with the UVA Humanitarian Collaborative, which is funded by the Ruth Young Endowment through Batten’s Center for Global Inquiry + Innovation and the University’s Strategic Investment Fund. The Humanitarian Collaborative supports collaboration among faculty, practitioners and students on research and policy addressing humanitarian challenges.</p> <p>We caught up with Bassett to learn more about her work.</p> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'filter_caption' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/filter-caption.html.twig' --> <figure class="figure align-center"><img alt="Professor Lucy Bassett" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="77bd2783-0582-4ac3-9448-a7f38d45e60f" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/Lucy%20Bassett.png" class="figure-img img-fluid" width="1188" height="792" loading="lazy" /><figcaption class="figure-caption">Lucy Bassett is an associate professor of practice in UVA’s Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy, where she focuses on humanitarian issues.

How did Project Adelante get started?</strong></p> <p>A. Most of my work in international development has focused on children, and I became interested in how the U.S.-Mexico border crisis is affecting the children caught up in it. I met Kristin [Clarens], a lawyer who has worked with unaccompanied minors being held in border detention centers, and Isaac, who had also been working on the border, and we started to collaborate and bring in other partners.</p> <p>Project Adelante was born, and since then I have been to the border twice [most recently in January]. Some of my partners have been going for months. Together, we want to tell the story of conditions on the border and support change.</p> <p><strong>Q. What stood out to you on your most recent trip?</strong></p> <p>A. The Matamoros camp is right across the [Brownsville &amp; Matamoros] International Bridge connecting Mexico and Texas – basically from Grounds to the Corner, as I tell my students. It is not centrally run by any one government or agency. There are NGOs working there, and the Mexican government has provided some resources, but they do not want it to be permanent and so it is very makeshift.</p> <p>There are about 3,000 asylum-seekers living there right now, mostly in tents along the Rio Grande riverbank. There is a really steep decline into the river and a pretty strong current, both dangerous for kids and those who cannot swim.</p> <p>When I went in January, there were about 30 porta-potties for 3,000 people (an improvement over November when there were only five for about 2,000 people). The tents are mostly camping tents that we would use for a weekend getaway – woefully insufficient for withstanding lots of wind and rain over many months. NGOs are bringing in food, but some families do not have enough; people told us about their kids going to bed hungry.</p> <p>Safety is the biggest concern. The state of Tamaulipas, where Matamoros is located, is currently under a “do not travel” advisory by the U.S. State Department. This ranking is the same level as Afghanistan, Syria and Iran, for example. Matamoros is largely controlled by cartels, and kidnapping, assault, rape and extortion are regular occurrences. Many people in the camp have fled this violence at home, and now they are experiencing it again.</p> <p><strong>Q. How has Bruce Springsteen’s publicity and support helped your efforts?</strong></p> <p>A. Bruce cares a lot about what is going on at the border and he both donated and, equally important, ignited this social media blitz about Project Adelante and the importance of investing in and calling out what is happening at the border.</p> <p>Since then, we have seen a big uptick of interest, attention and funding. It has been really powerful.</p> <p><strong>Q. What are you addressing in your research?</strong></p> <p>A. [Associate professor of nursing] Kathryn Laughon and I designed a study to look at the experience of families and children in Matamoros. Kathryn, a forensic nurse and expert in gender-based violence, is focusing on gender-based violence and safety for women, and I am looking at children’s experiences with consideration for how these will impact their brain development, learning and growth.</p> <p>This study is the first of its kind in Matamoros, and we plan to share with NGOs and other partners working on the ground there and elsewhere along the border, to help develop more systemic solutions that can address families’ needs. We also hope the study will help to generate support to help children in these situations.</p> <p>We spent more of our last trip conducting structured interviews with parents to get an overall picture of life at the camp and gather specific stories that we can use to raise awareness. </p> <p><strong>Q. What did you hear when talking to families?</strong></p> <p>A. Parents are crushed because their children are suffering from the poor living conditions and are missing out on getting an education. They want their children to be in school, to have a healthy diet, to be healthy, but those things can be hard to come by at the camp.</p> <p>In most cases, the children are not being forcibly separated from their families, but we have seen a lot of cases of parents sending young kids across the border on their own because that is the only way for them to cross under current U.S. policy. One big question is what we can do to support parents and help keep those kids with them, because that relationship is so critical to children’s development.</p> <p><strong>Q. How does your work at the camp influence your academic work, and vice-versa?</strong></p> <p>A. As a professor of practice, I aim to bridge the divide between practice and academia. I teach a class, “Children in Crisis at the U.S.-Mexico Border,” with both graduate and undergraduate students. I use Matamoros as a case study, giving them updates from my visits there and assigning group projects that encourage students to focus on real-time analysis and solutions. For example, we looked at how people in spontaneous settlements in Greece educate children at low cost, and my students wrote up recommendations for Matamoros based on that research.</p> <p>Students have told me over and over again that they want to study immigration, because it is one of the most important issues of their time. Anyone who goes on to lead in public policy, in law, in business and many other fields will have to reckon with it in some way.</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> </div> <div class="col-sm-12 cta-wrapper"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--paragraph--field-single-cta--headline-paragraph-centered.html.twig * field--paragraph--field-single-cta.html.twig * field--paragraph--headline-paragraph-centered.html.twig * field--field-single-cta.html.twig * field--link.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="headline-paragraph-centered__field-single-cta"><a href="https://news.virginia.edu/content/qa-bruce-springsteen-spotlights-professors-nonprofit-work-border">Read full article in UVA Today</a></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> </div> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/radix_batten/templates/paragraph/paragraph--headline-paragraph-centered.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/radix_batten/templates/field/field--node--field-main-content.html.twig' --> Fri, 21 Feb 2020 17:17:28 +0000 etorr 12656 at https://batten.virginia.edu Alum in Action: Mimi Wu https://batten.virginia.edu/about/news/alum-action-mimi-wu <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--title--news.html.twig x field--node--title.html.twig * field--node--news.html.twig * field--title.html.twig * field--string.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/node/templates/field--node--title.html.twig' --> <span>Alum in Action: Mimi Wu</span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/node/templates/field--node--title.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--uid--news.html.twig x field--node--uid.html.twig * field--node--news.html.twig * field--uid.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/node/templates/field--node--uid.html.twig' --> <span> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'username' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/user/templates/username.html.twig' --> <span lang="" about="/user/267" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">mhannon</span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/user/templates/username.html.twig' --> </span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/node/templates/field--node--uid.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--created--news.html.twig x field--node--created.html.twig * field--node--news.html.twig * field--created.html.twig * field--created.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/node/templates/field--node--created.html.twig' --> <span>Tue, 01/21/2020 -

Since graduating, Wu, a native of Northern Virginia, has lived in Uganda and Myanmar—experiences that have expanded her understanding of the numerous problems facing communities around the world. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Batten Communications caught up with Wu over email in Myanmar to discuss her experiences as a Batten student and how she continues to employ the skills and knowledge gleaned from her studies in her current work. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span> </span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span>Q. What initially drew you to the Batten School? </span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span><strong>A.</strong> I’m impact-driven. There's something deeply ingrained in me that wants to make a positive difference in this world. Before joining Batten, I was a pre-med student studying biochemistry until I finally admitted that I wasn’t performing well enough to continue and quit early into my third year at UVA.</span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>After that decision, I didn’t know what to do next. I started studying psychology and economics and even considered becoming an environmental lawyer or an animal rights activist. It was purely by chance that I saw the Batten recruitment flier. While I can't remember the exact wording of the flier, I do remember feeling indelibly excited as it spoke to my interest in learning how to effectively solve complex problems facing our society. As I learned more about Batten, I was increasingly drawn to the program's balance of data and qualitative analysis. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><strong><span><span><span><span>Q. How has your experience at Batten informed the work you are doing now?</span></span></span></span></strong></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><strong>A.</strong> One of the most important skills I learned at Batten was how to analyze new and abundant information quickly, identify problems from multiple angles, and develop well-rounded solutions. For me, the heart of policymaking is being able to understand your audience and their perspectives, then finding middle ground.</span></span></span></span> <span><span><span><span>Batten also taught me how to communicate my ideas succinctly and effectively.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span>In the last eight years of working in Uganda and Myanmar, I have honed these particular Batten skills. Building a plastic recycling business as an entrepreneur with a limited understanding of recycling, no engineering knowledge or prior business experience, and a pedestrian understanding of the Myanmar culture means that I am constantly bombarded with new information and challenges daily that I must digest, analyze, and quickly find solutions to. It runs the gamut from how to optimize machines and employees, to how to navigate the murky bureaucracy to acquire important business licenses, to helping multi-national fa</span></span></span></span></span>st-moving consumer good<span><span><span><span><span>s companies figure out how to set up collection networks for their used packaging. These are all scenarios I never encountered at school but have applied critical thinking to overcome the barriers.</span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>An example of one specific challenge was a contract negotiation with Yangon’s municipal government to divert plastic film from landfills. This contract took several years to finalize. To prepare, I studied the city’s waste management plan and its existing operations, interviewed groups from government workers to waste pickers, visited informal and formal waste sites, and conferred with local leaders about the waste situation and how to best approach the city council. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Currently, I am spearheading a waste management working group that includes representatives from my former employer, the </span></span></span></span></span></span></span>International Finance Corporation (IFC)<span><span><span><span><span><span><span>. The goal of the group is to develop a single voice on waste management and develop a unified strategy and funding plan for the Myanmar government. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><strong><span><span><span><span>Q.   Tell me more about Myanmar Recycles. How has it evolved since its inception? How would you say what you do now compares to what you thought you might do when you were a Batten student?</span></span></span></span></strong></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><strong>A.</strong> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Myanmar Recycles collects and recycles plastic film that is too dirty and too complex for most global recyclers. Since 2017, we have provided a real solution to Myanmar’s plastic pollution problem. As the leading plastic film recycling company in Myanmar, we collect and recycle post-consumer film on an industrial scale and in an environmentally responsible way. I co-founded and manage the company with my fiancé Henry Cox.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>I have never been entrepreneurial; I hadn’t even conceptualized the idea of entrepreneurship until late 2009. But after I moved to Uganda in 2011, I was exposed to the limitations of foreign aid. I saw how aid can lack practicality, such as building a hospital but not a road to allow patients to easily access it, or funding irrelevant studies rather than implementing actual solutions. Further, organizations are rarely self-sustaining and are dependent on donors and politicians. I wanted to support a country’s development and solve a critical issue on a financially-sustainable platform. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Originally, I conceptualized the recycling business for the Ugandan market in 2012. A friend had owned a factory in Kampala for over three decades, which was profitable, provided long-term employment for locals and consequently supported the livelihoods of their families, and helped the local economy grow. I saw how private sector investment can play a critical role in sustainable development and decided to pursue my recycling business idea—keeping in mind how plastic waste is a growing global problem and one that requires innovative solutions. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>My plans changed after a visit to Myanmar in 2013. After decades of isolation, the country was opening up to foreign investment. The appetite for new technology and growth was palpable and exciting. After being there for only a few days, I decided to relocate from Uganda despite having no network there. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>In hindsight, moving to Myanmar was advantageous because Southeast Asia is the largest plastic polluting region in the world. Therefore, if we can create solutions here, we can replicate that model and make a significant impact. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Originally, Myanmar Recycles set out to process post-consumer plastic film, but we quickly realized that our technology wasn’t capable of handling such highly-contaminated waste. Most global recyclers only recycle post-industrial scrap because it's clean and therefore only needs at most a light wash, which is why there are only a handful of global recyclers taking on post-consumer plastic. To survive, we stopped recycling post-consumer plastic, thinking it would be another five years before we would try again. Fatefully, we met an expert in washing post-consumer plastic six months later, who helped us modify our existing equipment and bring in additional state-of-the-art technology.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Processing this kind of plastic waste is complex and costly, and keeping a business going is extremely difficult and stressful. Even more so in a foreign, emerging country. But I have always been passionate about creating a positive and lasting impact, so I keep putting one foot in front of the other because I know that what we are doing is critical to solving our global environmental crisis.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><strong><span><span><span><span>Q.

is<a href="https://globalweekatuva.wordpress.com/"> Global Week at the University of Virginia</a>. Stay tuned throughout the week for stories highlighting the global impact of Batten students, alumni, faculty, and staff. This blog was originally published by <a href="http://humanitariangrandchallenge.org/news-and-media">Creating Hope in Conflict: A Humanitarian Grand Challenge</a>.  </em></p> <p>What happens when you have a Burmese doctor, a former head of MSF, an executive from Mastercard, a professor from Johns Hopkins University, a health specialist from a government agency, a former UN official, a Syrian refugee, and a venture capitalist all sitting at the same table? For starters, you have a range of different perspectives shaped by their varying backgrounds and professions — and what researchers insist are the best ingredients to become innovative. <br />  <br /> A few years ago, I read an article in the Harvard Business Review by Hewlett, Marshall, and Sherbin arguing that combining inherent diversity — traits you are born with, such as gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation with acquired diversity — traits you gain from experience such as working in another country can be the key to truly unlocking innovation and creating an environment where “outside the box” ideas are heard.[1] While the humanitarian sector has long been talking about becoming more ‘innovative,’ last month I had an opportunity to truly experienced this practice come to life. <br />  <br /> In August, I was lucky enough to be part of an External Review Committee that evaluated the hundreds of proposals submitted to the Creating Hope in Conflict: A Humanitarian Grand Challenge.  In early 2018, recognizing that hundreds of thousands of the most vulnerable people in conflict zones are currently unreachable by traditional humanitarian aid delivery, Grand Challenges Canada together with the United States Agency for International Development Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA), and the UK Department for International Development (DFID) launched a call to find solutions to reach the most vulnerable and hardest-to-reach people in conflict-generated humanitarian crises. <br />  <br /> This summer they received 615 applications from 86 countries and ran them through an initial Innovation Screen that narrowed the pool to 222 proposals which were given to external expert teams that included four reviewers each—one with expertise in the proposal’s priority area (health, water and sanitation, energy, and life-saving information); one ethics expert; one private sector expert; and one person affected by conflict. <br />  <br /> Individually, we spent the summer evaluating proposals on the basis of 18 questions. Some of which included: “Does the proposed idea apply to the most vulnerable in conflict-affected areas and have the potential to address inequalities?,” “To what extent will affected people be meaningfully engaged in designing, testing and iterating of the proposed innovation?,” “Is there evidence provided to indicate the likelihood of success, and a rigorous assessment of project risks, corruption/bribery risks, risks of diverting aid, safety and security risks, and associated mitigation strategies?,” “Is there a connection with the private sector that will increase the likelihood of success?” Finally, in Augustthe review process culminated with everyone coming together and meeting in Toronto to debate and discuss their analysis. <br />  <br /> So yes, this all may sound fairly standard. But here is where I think the magic happened. Around that table in Toronto discussing health and water and sanitation projects, Grand Challenges Canada brought together that inherent and acquired diversity. There were not just traditional humanitarian health and water and sanitation experts. In fact, there was an astonishing range that included a researcher, an operations manager and a technical expert—all of whom had decades of experience funding or carrying out global health projects and also decades of practicing medicine in their home countries of Somalia and Myanmar. From individuals who for the first time were hearing about the use of prosthetics in the aftermath conflict but meanwhile had spent decades thinking about sustainability of funding and investment. This meant you had the expertise to combine knowledge on the latest published research on a topic about proposed funding models seemed sustainable, and how local populations may in reality respond to the interventions. <br />  <br /> What did that mean? It meant a discussion and evaluation process that was not held back by ‘this is the way we have always done things’; ‘this can’t work.’ Rather, it was more a discussion on ‘if this works, if this can be done ethically, could it dramatically change our ability to assist people?’ It allowed for the debate and the discussion to move beyond a singular focus on technical intervention as the driving force of innovation, and instead, also unearth perspectives on an intervention may actually reshape accountability practices or apply more ethical perspectives in experimentation.<br />  <br /> Despite the innovation rhetoric, all too often humanitarian policy and practice is still siloed to those who have traditionally had a seat at the table, and ideas are incremental. This makes many people question if the ‘innovation agenda’ is just a fad or a buzzword. I think the Grand Challenges review process shows that it is possible to bring that rhetoric to life and change working processes. New solutions are around the corner. This is an exciting time.  </p> <p><em>​Kirsten Gelsdorf is Professor of Practice and the Director of Global Humanitarian Policy at the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy, at the University of Virginia (UVA). Prior to joining the faculty at UVA she worked for over 20 years in the humanitarian sector most recently serving as the Chief of Policy Analysis and Innovation at the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

Last year, the center created a global pandemic simulation.</p> <p>This year, Director Noah Myung, with senior engineer Andy Ortiz, coordinator and writer Adam Roux and the rest of the center’s team, developed a simulation on migration policies.</p> <p>“We built our most complex and immersive simulation to date around the timely and sensitive issue of forced migration,” Myung said. “Migration is a global issue, so we hoped to get participants to think of our world as one connected system and avoid thinking of policymaking in a vacuum. While teams were competing against each other, success for any one team required coordination with the others.”</p> <p>Nearly 600 students from 147 universities in 27 countries took part in the simulation, which was modeled after the 2016 Syrian refugee crisis and took place in just one day. It was built using real-word data and challenged students to work together to manage a migrant influx in a fast-paced environment.</p> <p>In the simulation, students were assigned to one of four countries and given leadership roles, such as prime minister or the minister of labor. They then earned scores based on categories like human rights, gross domestic product growth and political resistance.</p> <p>Here are some of the takeaways, according to five students in Batten’s Master of Public Policy program.</p> <p><strong>Monika Merk:</strong> “There were times when we submitted a policy proposal, pretty confident about the outcome, only to be surprised to see that it did not meet our expectations and/or that it affected a certain sector that we were not predicting it would affect. We were lucky enough to have a forecast option so that we could regroup and strategize a different course of action.</p> <p>“The reality of unintended consequences was at the forefront of this simulation and made me empathize with the complex nature of policymaking and of having to weigh equity, cost-effectiveness and sustainability. Overall, it was an engaging, collective, and hands-on (albeit, stressful at times) learning experience!”</p> <p><strong>Kathryn Babbin:</strong> “I really enjoyed learning more about how migrants move through countries and make decisions. The game gave me the chance to practice making difficult policy decisions in a low-stakes environment, while also getting to work with my teammates to reach a common goal.”</p> <p><strong>Joseph Boelsche:</strong> “The event was a fast-paced exercise in disciplined trial and error driven by data. It was a great bonding experience with the team, and a unique opportunity to meet other policy students.”</p> <p><strong>William Sims:</strong> “The simulation challenged many of my presuppositions about refugee policy. I learned to appreciate the complexities of migrant movement, but more so, I gained firsthand experience on how different countries’ policies truly affect their neighboring countries."</p> <p><strong>Tatenda Mabikacheche:</strong> “As someone interested in researching the economic impacts of migration in developing countries, this year's theme provided me with a great practical learning experience. Considering that the migrant crisis in Europe is still ongoing, the detailed simulation helped me understand more deeply the complexity that the various key policymakers involved currently have to contend with. As a first-year [grad student], I look forward to having another opportunity to participate in next year's simulation.”</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from
