SUMMARY:STEPS Centre Seminar: Matias Ramirez
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the tools of social network analysis for competence building and inclusion in emerging clusters: Looking at Peruvian mangos and Colombian palm oil\nBy Matias Ramirez\, Senior Lecturer in Management at SPRU – Science and Technology Policy Research\, Business and \nPolicy makers in many developing countries have been increasingly drawn to the notion that sustained economic development and improved rural livelihoods can be simultaneously attained through a “learning by exporting” dynamic in hitherto isolated agricultural clusters. However\, assessing the effectiveness of the economic and social impact of regional policy has historically been an extremely challenging task. Hamstrung by the high degree of idiosyncrasy of local factors and the changing nature of regional dynamics\, what works in one area won’t necessarily work in another. This presentation explores the extent to which some of the tools provided by social network analysis (SNA)\, that analyses social phenomena through the structure and patterns of ties between actors (individuals\, firms etc)\, can provide some insights for cross comparative analysis of these emerging clusters. \nMatias Ramirez is a senior lecturer in SPRU and has researched and published in areas relating knowledge work to innovation including labour mobility\, knowledge transfer in regional (cluster) and technological systems in developing country contexts and international comparative analysis of employment regimes and management in high technology sectors.

As the world prepares to unite for the ‘Rio+20’ Earth Summit in 2012\, what ideas\, concepts and agendas can best inform effective action? How can we enrich and (re)invigorate our intellectual and practical repertoires towards a new politics of environment\, development and social justice? \n\nConference themes\nThe five themes of the conference are: \n\nContesting sustainabilities\nFraming narratives\nDynamics and sustainability\nUncertainty\, ambiguity and surprise\nPathway-building and governance\n\n\nConference format\nThe conference comprised a mixture of invited keynote talks\, perspectives and provocations which respond to the overall conference questions and themes\, with a series of parallel panel sessions. \nThere was also an “Open Space” session which included posters and films presented by conference participants.

SUMMARY:Beyond Scaling Up
DESCRIPTION:The STEPS Centre and its affiliate partner Future Health Systems launched a series of activities that challenge the thinking behind prevailing concepts of “scaling up” in the health sector. \nPractical approaches for improving access to health care\nThe STEPS Centre and its affiliate partner Future Health Systems are working to challenge the prevailing concepts of “scaling up” in the health sector. \nDownload the Beyond Scaling Up flyer (pdf 800kb)  \n\nPublications\nSTEPS Working Paper 39: Beyond Scaling Up\nBeyond Scaling Up: Pathways to Universal Access to Health Services (pdf 570kb)\nBy Gerald Bloom and Peroline Ainsworth \nThere is a growing impatience at national and international levels with the persistence of high burdens of ill health for which effective\ninterventions are available. Successful strategies need to combine large scale interventions and local adaptation and innovation. This paper explores alternative approaches for managing large scale health system changes in low and middle-income countries. \n\nDownload this paper (pdf 570kb)\nBriefing: Beyond Scaling Up: improving access to health services (pdf 227kb)\n\n\nEvents\n17 Nov 2010: Michael Loevinsohn: “New directions in environment-health research: implications for health systems”.

Session at the First Global Symposium on Health Systems Research. \n\nWorkshop on Beyond Scaling Up\, 24-25 May 2010\nA workshop was held at the Institute of Development Studies in May 2010. The objectives were to: \n\nexplore approaches that have fostered innovation\, rapid learning and large-scale impact in the health sector that incorporate context and social arrangements as central to learning and change\nidentify practical approaches for collaboration between innovators\, researchers\, governments and funding agencies to strengthen the capacity of health systems to meet the needs of the poor.\n\nResources from the workshop\n\nWorkshop agenda\nPresentation slides: view or download\nPhotos of the workshop \nVideo: interviews with participants \n\nTopics covered at the workshop include: \n\nexperiences with large scale health interventions\nlocal innovations\nnew information communications technologies\ncitizen/health system interactions and\nbuilding an evidence base to take this work forward.\n\nWorkshop briefings\nA set of briefings summarising the discussions at the meeting: \n\nBriefing 1 – Beyond Scaling Up workshop (pdf\, 2.6MB)\nBriefing 2: Experiences with large scale health interventions (pdf\, 1MB)\nBriefing 3: Exploring local innovation (pdf\, 2.1MB)\nBriefing 4: Innovations in context of rapid change (pdf\, 1.6MB)\nBriefing 5: How does the increased flow of information influence the speed and coherence of change?

There is a long standing debate on the relative merits of blue-print approaches\, which involve the replication of a well-designed intervention in multiple settings\, and locally driven approaches\, which rely exclusively on local innovation. Both have limitations. \nThe dominant response of developing country decision makers and donors has been to identify interventions which have been cost-effective in meeting health-related needs\, often through pilot projects\, and propose that these interventions are “scaled up” through the design of large programmes. Most discussions of scaling up focus explicitly or implicitly on the public sector and on the interventions which increased public resources should fund\, whether through integrated or vertical approaches. \nLimits to blue-print approaches\nBut a growing body of evidence indicates that the translation of increased resources into improved access is much more complex than the language of “scaling-up” implies. Health-related needs are diverse; they vary by setting and group. Blue-print approaches are rarely adaptive enough to work in predictable ways in different contexts\, and are likely to produce unintended consequences\, which can lead to poorly functioning and unsustainable interventions. In the case of locally driven approaches\, it is more difficult to move to institutional scale and transmit learning from one site to another\, so the impact may be local and modest. \nOur work on “Beyond Scaling Up: Pathways to Universal Access” will explore emerging approaches that support local and scaled up innovations and facilitate rapid organisational learning about what works and what does not. It will contribute to discussions of practical approaches for ensuring that substantial increases in health financing lead to significant improvements in access to health services. \nAn era of transition and uncertainty\nWe are in the midst of a number of simultaneous transitions in demography\, epidemiology\, medical technology\, information and communications technologies and economic and governance arrangements. We need to identify strategies for working with the uncertainties that these changes bring in addressing major health-related needs. We need to recognise that socio-technical systems and social institutions move along pathways that are profoundly influenced by their historical development. This both produces path dependency and opens opportunities for different models to emerge\, and for alternative pathways to be built and promoted.
