Dates:
Program begins 5 PM Sunday night, July 13, with registration and concludes
5 PM Wednesday, July 16.
Location:
The workshop will take place on the campus of the Naval Postgraduate School
in Monterey, California, USA.
Description:
The Center for Stabilization and Reconstruction Studies (CSRS) will conduct a three-
and one-quarter day workshop on ways in which government civilian agencies,
non-governmental organizations, inter-governmental organizations and the armed forces
can work individually and collectively to support a smooth transition from emergency
healthcare relief to reconstruction of a sustainable indigenous healthcare system,
and incorporate and reinforce local capacities for sustainability and ownership
of the healthcare system immediately after armed conflict.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of the workshop, the participants will:
- Define ways in which the emergency and stabilization phases can both obstruct
and enable post-conflict rebuilding of local technical capacity, political capacity
and human resources;
- Identify abilities/constraints that shape each community's capacity to incorporate
reconstruction goals into their missions and operations;
- Identify areas for potential collaboration within and between communities to promote
sustainable institution building in these areas; and,
- Describe the conditions each community requires to enable a smooth transition
to rebuilding sustainable healthcare systems.
Methodology:
The workshop will consist of a series of plenary presentations, panel discussions
and problem-solving by breakout groups that focus on best practices, successes and
failures in healthcare sector rebuilding.
Participants:
Approximately 40 representatives (both US and international) from civilian government
agencies, non-governmental organizations, inter-governmental organizations and the
armed forces will attend. Participants should be mid-level representatives from their
communities with policy-making and/or experience working in the field.
Faculty:
NPS faculty and visiting faculty will facilitate this program.
