Closed ALL-IN Side Event Administrative Session
Closed capacity strengthening session
Public event on ALL-IN
Invites-Only | Capacity Strengthening Session for Principal Investigators on Resilience Measurement
This closed ALL-IN Researcher Capacity Strengthening Workshops will allow ALL-IN Researchers to acquire or enhance capacities on integrating climate data with other population datasets.
This workshop will both introduce the fundamental concepts and allow for hands-on “lab” activities to put these skills into practice in-workshop with in-room experts.
Note that R’ will be used for some of these activities. A workshop will be provided for those unfamiliar with R in advance of these sessions (details to come). Please complete our survey assessing your familiarity with R programming as soon as possible.
This workshop will begin with a first section that is more conceptual in nature. This introduction will introduce ways climate data can be used in this kind of research. The presenters will then facilitate a second section that is more of a ‘lab’ with a led activity in R. The facilitators will provide data and some code in advance of the session which will allow researchers, if feasible, to arrive ready to work on it. Facilitators will walk through the activity and leave time at the end for people to continue working or discuss/ask questions but more open-ended.
This workshop will allow ALL-IN Researchers to enhance understanding about how climate change is affecting different health and development outcomes and introduce how to use FEWS NET climate data to integrate with surveys and other population datasets for analysis. A relevant hands-in example will be used in the workshop.
(These breakouts may be into tables or groups of tables within the same room, depending on venue capacity.)
The “World Café” breakout sessions will allow participants to select from a subset of four thematic groups, based on their individual interests. Depending on the size of the overall audience, we will implement in one of the following ways:
Sarah Ameso and Tara Chiu will introduce each project in brief (1-2 minutes per project) in their introduction of ALL-IN and ALL-IN projects, to inform attendees of the research represented in the room and in the thematic groups.
These “World Café” Breakout Session will be facilitated by ALL-IN Management Personnel. Drawing together the research teams and attendees, we will have facilitated dialogue that will both allow researchers to share the world-class work they are doing, but also to get feedback from and a better understanding of participants. This will allow a two-way exchange of information in an evidence-policy exchange.
In advance of these sessions, research teams will be provided guidelines for engagement and facilitators will be given questions and guidelines to structure the conversation. ALL-IN Management Team facilitators will take notes of any follow-up items as appropriate.
While not all participants will engage all groups, this will allow for a “deeper dive” in topics of special interest for individual participants and give researchers the ability to engage in deeper discussions with those who are especially interested in their work.
