The one year courting period remains an important way to help applicants understand if there is a good fit between their organization and CORE.
We are so pleased to see that the associate organization option has been a successful way of partnering more formally with organizations that donât meet the member criteria outlined in our bylaws (particularly the 501c3 status and the substantial citizen support clauses. Weâre also pleased by the response from individuals. All of our individual associates have two reference checks so we can vouch for their quality and commitment to community health.
Here are a few highlights of the fruits of our working group s over the past year. As you can see we made substantial progress on program learning about integration, CHWs, iCCM, equity, SBC, and pediatric and community-based TB. We also drafted new tools including ENA, newborn home package, and a family planning SBC curriculum. And, we engaged in policy dialogue with RBM, SUN and Stop TB to promote a community health agenda.
In FY11, CORE Staff spent a lot of effort on communications and we finally engaged with social media platforms. We continued our popular m-health listserv and partnered with different organizations on m-health proposals as a center for program learning. We launched the TOPS Food Security and Nutrition Network and held the first regional meeting in Mozambique. Some people said that it was the first participative workshop of this kind. We moved forward our collective thinking on the key components of an effective community health system.

Community Health Systems paper recommends a greater focus on understanding and measuring social capital within communities and as between communities and health facilities.Social capital is defined as the bonds between similar people and the bridges between diverse people, with norms of reciprocity. Higher social capital levels are associated with better health and nutrition.
In FY12 we will continue with many of our core activities such as our on-line and in person meetings. We will continue with program learning around community health systems and CHWs, collaborating with MCHIP to develop a chapter for a CHW journal supplement; maternal newborn care ; iCCM; Anemia and Family Planning Integration. Weâll continue with tool development for equity measurement; host trainings on ENA, and engage in global policy for a.
In addition, weâre pushing forward on some new directions. We hope to find funding for an launch a sustainability initiative with CEDARS; develop the Food Security and Nutrition Network in countries and regions; and launch a new phase of our practitioner academy with a community health study tour to Jamkhed, India (please see our flyer) and other skill building workshops such as AI.
How will do this? We will do this through partnerships, some we already have and some we hope to develop. Our key sources of revenue for FY12 is listed above.
