describe India’s Barefoot College Solar Engineering Program
Barefoot College is an NGO started in Tilonia, India, by a farmer and social worker who believed that empowering rural women would improve living conditions in poor areas.
The Barefoot College program trains youth and illiterate women to become solar engineers, bringing sustainable electricity to remote villages and reducing emissions and pollution.
91
what is India’s Barefoot College Solar Engineering Program 's purpose?
Its purpose is to provide access to solar-powered electricity in remote and isolated parts of India. They started training young people and semi-literate and illiterate women to become solar engineers.
92
how does india's barefoot college program show effective implementation?
In partnership with local and national organisations, a team from Barefoot College and the Village Energy and Environment Committee visits communities to establish relationships with village elders and gain community support for solar power. The VEEC team educates villagers on the benefits and operation of solar power, reallocating funds spent on candles and batteries. The community selects two women to train as solar engineers in Tilonia, funded by various organisations, the UN Development Program and the Indian government. After training, women return to install and maintain solar lamp kits in their villages and receive a monthly salary for their work.
93
how does barefoot college show partnership + collaboration
They receive funding from government and non-government organisations in partnership with the Village Energy and Environmental Committee. Works with the community to ensure it is socioculturally appropriate.
94

106
characteristiics of bilateral aid
The donor country works with the government of the country receiving the aid to ensure that the programs implemented meet the needs of the country and its people, thus building important relationships
helps governments of recipient countries strengthen their economic, political, health and education systems and eventually become self-sufficient
Programs may range from small, community-based projects, such as immunisation programs, to large regional development schemes, such as the provision of a water treatment plant, building bridges
sometimes attracts criticism due to political motivations
107
characteristics of multilateral aid
used to address global issues, such as emergency relief, funding transnational issues (such as control of disease), and significant infrastructure projects, such as the building of roads
less tied to the political interests of individual donor countries
The agency itself must spend some money for administrative purposes
108
example of Effective governance; policies, institutions and functioning economies: (aid priorities)
Australian aid has trained hundreds of public servants in Papua New Guinea in public administration competencies such as record keeping and staff supervision.
109
explain 'promote healthier populatiions' - who priorities
relates to 1 billion more people experiencing better h+W
110
explain 'universal health coverage' - who priorities
1 billion more people benefiting from universal health coverage
111
explain 'addressing health emergencies'
1 billion more people experiencing better protection from health emergencies
112
why is ending extreme poverty important?
extreme poverty means people struggle to afford basic resources, contributing to a high number of preventable deaths. this leads to the cycle of poverty where children are born into poor living conditions. reducing poverty can help reduce the risk of premature mortality.
113
define gender equality
when both males and females have same access to resources and opportunities within a society
114
why does australia include each type of partnership in its aid program?
multilateral - often have greater reach than Australia, meaning larger scale projects can be undertaken
NGO - assists in increasing success of Australian aid program and work on smaller scale projects
private sector - responsible for creating majority of jobs, partnerships within this can help reduce poverty
other government departments - ensure the program Is benefiting from highest level of expertise because they have particular strengths
bilateral - assists neighbourhood countries in reducing poverty
115
explain how WHO works to reduce maternal mortality
WHO develops policis that provide advice relating to how many prenatal health checks pregnant women should receive
provide training for health workers, including birth attendants to increase the amount of safe births
116
2 examples of how the priorities of WHO are interconnected
achieving universal healthcare allows people to access healthcare services whenever they need. This assists in promoting healthier populations as more people receive treatment for conditions such as malaria, resulting in fewer deaths.
Addressing health emergencies relates to reducing risk and impact to health such as the outbreak oof infectious diseases. this assists in promoting healthier populations as fewer people will be exposed to these risks.
117
what is the type of aid provided by WHO?
multilateral
118
why does the australian government provide funding to the WHO?
the WHO has the ability to work on large-scale projects that would be too big for the Australian government to undertake. it also has a high level of expertise in relation to global issues.
119
outline the role of the health sector in achieving SDG 3
ensuring universal health coverage. With adequately trained health workers, people can receive treatment they need such as access to essential medicines. reducing the number of preventabl child deaths.
120
explain how another sector works towards achieving sdg 6 and how does it work to assist achieving SDG 3?
governments working to implement safe water systems. lack of safe water and sanitation are a current issue in may low- and middle-income countries. providing access to such can help reduce the risk of communicable diseases.
121
define universal health coverage
when all people can access the health services they need regardless of their ability to pay
122
explain how partnerships involved in australian aid promote two australian aid priorities
DFAT creates partnerships with other gov sectors such as federal police, which can help to assist promoting peace & security in low- and middle-income countries and uphold rights of women - 'gender equality and empowering women and girls'
australian government provides funding for multilateral food programme. allows low-income country population to be adequately nourished improving their immune system promoting ’education and health’
123
how can universal health coverage assist in achieving SDGs?
Universal health coverage means that people can be treated for common conditions. This can reduce morbidity and contribute to a stronger workforce. This can increase average incomes and assist in eliminating extreme poverty (No poverty).
Universal health coverage means that people will not experience poverty as a result of accessing health care. This can mean that parents have enough money to educate all of their children, including the girls. This promotes ‘Gender equality’.
