Book excerpt: La démonstration par l’exemple du rôle que les grandes entreprises peuvent jouer pour changer d’échelle les innovations social. Depuis le milieu des années 1990, une révolution silencieuse est en cours, initiée par de entrepreneurs sociaux, visionnaires pragmatiques qui bousculent les conventions du mont des affaires comme du monde associatif. Ces innovateurs ont su développer des approches de marché capables de s’attaquer à l’injustice sociale. Pourtant, leurs très nombreuses (bonnes) idées parviennent rarement à prendre, sur le terrain, l’ampleur qu’elles mériteraient. Les auteurs ont donc cherché à répondre à cette question : pourquoi ces Solutions qui marchent n’atteignent pas leur plein potentiel ? Autrement dit : si le laboratoire de l’innovation sociale est plein, pourquoi l’usine de sa globalisation est-elle vide ? L’ambition de ce livre est de fournir une évaluation factuelle et critique de la possibilité de résoudre des problèmes sociaux à travers des approches de marché. Il présente une série d’études de cas illustrant ce qui peut être fait «au sein du système» pour surmonter les obstacles, dans des secteurs clés comme l’accès à l’énergie ou l’eau potable, l’assainissement, le logement ou les services financiers. Le nombre et le potentiel de ces solutions sont tels que même un lecteur sceptique et pessimiste devra admettre qu’il y a raison d’espère Au bout du compte, on assiste à une remise en cause de la division traditionnelle du marché entre un secteur «à but lucratif », créateur de richesse économique, et un secteur «à but non lucratif», qui cherche à réparer les problèmes sociaux et environnementaux.

Download or read book Handbook on Corporate Foundations written by Lonneke Roza and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-11 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Companies increasingly play a meaningful role in civil society and the philanthropic sector through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Corporate Philanthropy (CP). The most well studied form of allocating these resources is through outright contributions to operating external foundations and other nonprofit organizations. However, far less is known about the use of corporate foundations, separate and independent nonprofit entities aimed at channeling corporate giving to a social mission related to a company. Corporate foundations are often linked to the founding company through their name, funding, trustees, administration and potential employee involvement. As these foundations are growing in number, size and importance and becoming increasingly visible in the philanthropic sector, the urgency to understand their role and functioning becomes more important. The primary aim of this volume is to deliver a holistic analysis of the current state-of-the-art on corporate foundations. For that reason, the book includes different perspectives on and use a hybrid concept of corporate foundations. The book includes three main parts. First, looking further into the organizational processes of corporate foundations, the book analyzes governance and operations as major aspects of organizational performance. Second, it sheds light on the role of corporate foundations in various institutional settings. Lastly, the book includes various stakeholder perspectives on corporate foundations, including corporate employees, beneficiaries, and their non-profit partners. By reading the book, readers will build a comprehensive understanding of the role and functioning of corporate foundations, understand new avenues for research and, in case they are practitioners in the field, find practical advice rooted in academic research. ​

Gender-based violence, including violence against women, remains a key human rights challenge in contemporary Europe and in the world. Working with young people on human rights education is one way of preventing gender-based violence from occurring. By raising awareness on why and how it manifests and exploring its impact on people and in society, gender-based violence will no longer go undetected.

Download or read book Faecal Sludge Management written by Linda Strande and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is estimated that literally billions of residents in urban and peri-urban areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America are served by onsite sanitation systems (e.g. various types of latrines and septic tanks). Until recently, the management of faecal sludge from these onsite systems has been grossly neglected, partially as a result of them being considered temporary solutions until sewer-based systems could be implemented. However, the perception of onsite or decentralized sanitation technologies for urban areas is gradually changing, and is increasingly being considered as long-term, sustainable options in urban areas, especially in low- and middle-income countries that lack sewer infrastructures. This is the first book dedicated to faecal sludge management. It compiles the current state of knowledge of the rapidly evolving field of faecal sludge management, and presents an integrated approach that includes technology, management, and planning based on Sandecs 20 years of experience in the field. Faecal Sludge Management: Systems Approach for Implementation and Operation addresses the organization of the entire faecal sludge management service chain, from the collection and transport of sludge, and the current state of knowledge of treatment options, to the final end use or disposal of treated sludge. The book also presents important factors to consider when evaluating and upscaling new treatment technology options. The book is designed for undergraduate and graduate students, and engineers and practitioners in the field who have some basic knowledge of environmental and/or wastewater engineering.
