Have a Plan (and a Few Backup Plans) It is very significant that things will not always go as planned, particularly if youre tying something new in your community or with your parenting. By knowing the key community segments in advance, backup plan (or two) will allow you to make this transition as quickly and seamlessly as possible. We conduct detailed community assessments prior to the launch of any site. Even so, iis impossible to be 100% sure of who our early adopters will be until the site launches. It can monitor where we see the most growth and adjust the content accordingly and is abo important. 3. Listen and Observe: LUsten community wil tell you wat it requires, just as 2 child will do. This might be in the form of obvious comments oF discussion, but oftentimes it is worth digging in a bit deeper to determine the type of content, tools and resources really resonate with members, 4.

Sometimes what you do not do is as powerful as what you do. Sometimes giving the ‘community that space to grow is more important than dictating the path they should take. It is not About You : In community for example even if you ae a part ofthe ‘community you are building, you will have to address diverse needs and opinions. At the end ofthe day, you want your community to grow and thrive with or without you and that might mean letting go of some personal agenda items. ‘Make Rules and Enforce them Consistently: Having clear community rules with strict enforcement i {an important way to maintain a safe environment for ‘members in any organisation.

Project selection isa significant process of evaluating and choosing projects that both align with an organisation's ‘objectives and maximize its performance at great level In contemporary period prioritization refers to ranking or scoring projects, based on certain criteria, to determine the ‘order of execution. However, the terms “prioritization” and selection” are often used interchangeably, as part of ‘organization as the two processes are intertwined. Project Portfolio Management (PPM) and it ie implementation can be time consuming, which is establishing a Project Management Office (PMO) that works on selection and prioritization can be extremely ‘beneficial forthe benefits of project selection, 5.6.2 Benefits of Project Selection and, Prioritization Project selection and prioritization are all about having a ‘game plan that accounts for both capacity and strategy for successful, ust take a look at the benefits that companies ‘stand to gain when these are balanced right ‘+ Better ROL: The fundamental outcome of any project, selection process is to increase the ROL Several selection caiteria and prioritization methods, can be used to weigh projects against each other, based on their returns. + Consistency and Transparency: It is a standa selection approach helps the PMO landmark projets against well-defined criteria rather than use ad-hoc processes that lead to inconsistent approvals. The Upside of this consistent approach is tvansparent downstream communication, as project managers get laity that a certain project was approved or rejected by the component authority + Strategic Alignment: A project ‘organizational goals, even if executed flawlessly, is a waste of time.

Project Selection Criteria for Portfolio Management 1t is very important that, deciding whether to go ahead with {project or nat should be straightforward. The ditfculy foften lies in leaving projects off the table and it takes strong leaders with a clear vision. With these aspects project wil automatically successful We can take an example, if we select two projects one that ‘extends capacity or fleblty of a plant and another that improves efficiency and expected lifespan of that facility ‘The answer fs not simple. depends on which promises better ROL the long-term goals for the organization, et. If there isan aim to expand the plant, the former isa sensible ‘option. However, ifthe goal is to cut costs and increase longevity, the later option may be prefered, 1 is very important that defining selection criteria is a significant function of Project Portfolio Management (PPM) that is done in collaboration with various stakeholders, DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERING (DBATU) 55) ENGINEERING FOR SUSTAINABLE. scholars, such az customers, leadership team and project, managers, Feedback from projects executed in the past ¢ also useful to pick the right criteria, 5.6.4 Project Prioritization Methods Project prioritization is easier to manage with a small Ist of say, five projects. However, as this number grows sigificantly, the complexity can be difficult to handle, requiring extra concrete methods then it is possible to Heve are tvee useful methods for projec prioritization: 1. Ranking Method ‘+The ranking method isa kind of approach it arranges, the projects on a scale of say, one to ten, based an their importance. Before assigning the rank it is important to ask the ight questions at right ime, ‘+The significant advantage of this method is its quick ‘approach that enables identification of top priorities of the project or organization. It works effectively when there are limited criteria to evaluate and itis easy to assess the factors involved them ‘+ However, since it considers onty one or two selection criteria, t could work out to be too simplistic for complex project evaluations. In such cases, the scoring model may be a better fit 2. Scoring Model ‘+The scoring model i kind of model which works when there are so many selection criteria to consider and projects being compared with other projects are significantly different, making the process harder than others. Rather than selecting one or two citeia asin the ranking method, the scoring model considers one fr two groups of factors, such as strategic alignment, benefits, RO, risk, et. ‘+The challenge with the good scoring model is attempt to accommodate a long catalog of criteria to makes it ‘mare work for the PMO team and it can blur scoring, The chance of biases and guesswork in the rating and weight criteria assignments or project makes it debatable whether the final score aptly reflects the project's priority. There is one way to design the model isto test against existing projects and see how accurate the score tis ‘+ Besides, to assigning 2 rating to each criterion, each ‘roup is given a weight of the project. For example, we ‘an take benefits may have a factor of 25, whereas risk ‘may have 125. The weighted average score is then computed to arrive at the final projet score 3. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Technique + Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is definitely a complex decision for mature and recommended approach than the other two methods it aims to understand the relative importance between two criteria rather than rank everything in absolute terms + Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) combines subjective elements with Mathematical Models to provide a more holistic technique than the ranking ar soring methods, 1 is used commonly in many decision-making scenarios in various positions, it ends particularly well t0.complex project evaluations forthe success. + Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is strong reliance on {quantitative techniques is its strength, ast translates a vatious problem into numbers and makes the reason behind a decision transparent AS the number of criteria increase, the math can get clunky. But, this is ‘not something that the right PPM tool can not solve the problem. 1+ Similar to the scoring model, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) works with a long list of selection criteria, However, it does a GroupWise comparison, pitting every to diferent criteria against one another, which reduces the possibilty of errors and biases. After these ‘apples to apples type of comparison, values are formalized and the weighted score is computed then it vill automatically successful ‘+ There isthe possibilty of guesswork in this technique, though.

Misuse of personal data has the potential to further harm dangerous for the already affected or ‘new communities In last decades in 2018, the UNHCR registered data of Rohingya Muslims refugees in Bangladesh to allow the Bangladeshi government to issue them identity cards for obtaining essential aid and services. Additionally, data was also being collected to be submitted to ‘Myanmar for repatriation eligibility assessments. At the time of information was being collected for these two different purposes, the refugees reportedly felt that they could not refuse sharing the information for repatriation if they wanted the identity cards: this lmplies that the principle of ~free and informed consent” was not followed during data collection, ‘One mote example in 2018, a cyber-attack on a North Korean refugee resetiement organization in South Korea led to 2 date breach of around 1000 Noth Korean defectors raising concerns of potential harm ‘More recently, in January 2022. ICRC servers were hhacked and personal data of around 5,00,000 people were compromised, triggering concern that the data would be used by states, non-state groups, or individuals to contactor find people to cause harm. In above three examples and many more such cases if the identities of any vulnerable affected communities ate cisclosed or if the data is leaked or is stolen it could result in not only security risks for vulnerable community members also a tust deficit between humanitarian actors. -_ Interoperability and Lack of Standards Every one must sure, dat shating lead to challenges in relation to privacy, data protection and security [Establishing standards and utilizing them for data callection, storage and processing can help reduce these risks.

In PTD research and development is seen as an on going learning process involving the end users of new technology, rather than a top-down system in which ‘modern technology is developed in one location (often inthe industrialized world) and then simply transferred to the end users (often in the developing word). * In India the Green Revolution of the 1960s and 70s ‘greatly improved the agricutural yield in many developing countries and helped save many from ‘malnutrition and starvation. The great ae those gains were, however, there remain some challenges for agriculture and development. of new + Among these challenges are the need to promote equitable distibution of the benefits of increased ‘agricultural production, to better manage the natural resources that support agriculture and to strengthen the ability of local farming communities to improve their methods and develop standard of ives. 5.8.2 Meaning and Importance of Participatory Technology Development (PTD) ‘+ Participatory Technology Development (PTD) is a new practical process of making the knowledge and research capacities of the local farming communities with that ofthe commercial and scientific institutions in an interactive way. It saves and maintain the standard of farmers and made living standard high. It involves activities where local producers and traders work together with external actors in the identification generation, testing and application of new technologies and practices with the help of new scientfic approach and methods. + This isa kind of process of technology development is linked with a process of social change in recent times. Encouraging local innovation through self-organized planning, implementation as well as evaluation of systematic experiments fosters self-respect and self- confidence inthe rural communities involved. It is also fosters a kind of process of cultural awareness and change, 35 the planning and assessment obliges the Participants to take account of ther situation and the responsibilities of different people inthe community. = The different needs of women and men and the citferent bartiers they face in trying to change theie situation. More than that, every community is made up of 2 variety of individuals with a diversity of interest and lifestyles, as becomes apparent especially when criteria for improved technologies are debated. One ‘more complication may be natural resources and being sed not just by one sedentary community but also by temporary immigrants and new immigrants into the new area. In shart it can says that the process of local technology development in agricuture, horticulture and serculture etc. will aso often involve negotiations and the development of new organizations to accommodate change in use of natural resources, 5.8.3 Characteristics and Example of Participatory Technology Dev it (PTD) The participatory technology development isa ‘complementary process to the research conducted by the scientists. The PTD alms at linking the power of science to the priorities and capacities of farming communities to develop productive and sustainable farming systems all cover the word DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERING (BATU) ‘The scientists, extension workers and the farmers ate the main actors in the participatory technology development. The scientists and extension workers act as external agency in the technology development process. The scientists and ‘extension workers as an external agency, have to perform differen functions at diferent stages. The success depends ‘on the efficiency ofthe external agency in performing their functions Partners Involved in PTD. Farmers, field extension staff of Development Departments, INGOs, input agencies, Agricultural research stations are involved in the process where farmers and field extension staff are involved during the entire process, others pattcipate as and when requied When to have PTD? PTD isa season long process and is conducted when, (2) Appropriate technologies are not avallble/ known for ' particular problem in a spectc location and (©) The existing technology involves high extemal input usage leading ta high production cost and causing damage tothe envionment. Where to Conduct PTD? ‘+ PTD is done on farmers’ fields, who are wing 10 take Up trials. For purposes of comparisons, control plots ate also maintained, which are similar tothe plots in all the aspects including plo sie. +The very significant PID was standardization of cultivation practices. for rice production under aerobic condition and results totally dliferent. Similar best results were also observed in Maize, Sunflower, Groundnut and Horticultural Crops. Te study reveals that the farmers as well as the projet. staff were enthusiastic in the process of ‘experimentation at the village level and they mode temendous output of the projet. t has built the confidence ofthe field staff in technology identification modification and dissemination in farmer community Hence, it proved to be an important approach to be tried those who engaged in agricultural development process al over the world. +The participatory technology development process helps and creates in identification of specific problem, search for alternative various solutions to solve the problem, test the applicability of the alteratve Selected and _generate suitable techniques and outcome of 624 ENGINEERING FOR SUSTAINABLE. practices to solve the existing ll types of problems. It js dane jointly by the farmers, extension functionaries andthe scientists, + Therefore, it will cut short the time taken by the research system to identify the problem, conduct experiments and communicate results to the farmers ‘through extension system, Also, this is more acceptable to the farmers and field extension workers as they are ‘aso the partners in the technology development process. + Its also a complementary process in which involves linking the powers and capabilites of agricultural science as wel scientist to the priorities and capabilities fof farming communities to develop suitable technologies to the problems observed all over the word [5.9 HUMANITARIAN STEM EDUCATION (Aug. 22) STEM is an acronym for the fields of Selence, Technology, Engineering and Math. Discussion of STEM-relsted programs has become a presidential priority because too few college students are pursuing degrees in these fields “Humanitarian engineers ate working to make life better for people inthe developing word, including helping them coping with disasters such a5 earthquates and floods” Humanitarian Engineering save ives as an engineer 5.9.1_Definition of STEM Education National Science Teachers Assocation (NSTA) defines this, ‘as: Aninterdscipinary approach to learning where rigorous academic concepts are coupled with real-world lessons as students apply science technology, engineering and mathematics in contexts that make connections between school, communty, work and the global enterprise enabling the development of STEM literacy and with it the ality to compete inthe new economy. + President Obama continually references the importance of STEM education in making the United States more compettive in the global economy with fnew study. In a May 2010 his speech in Texas, US President Obama pointed out that immigrants founded some of the great American companies like Inte Google, Yahoo and eBay and helped the United States to become a leader in the high-tech industry. The people would agree that STEM is the key to innovation and job creation inthe United States DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERING (OBATU) 52) ENGINEERING FOR SUSTAINABLE. Iris an act of building technological capacity often takes place in a commanity where people lve, isso natural to do work in an educational institutions or Universities by focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education. In speech Obama said the following about international students and their importance to the United States We should male it easier forthe best andthe brightest to not only stay here, but aso to start businesses and reste jobs here, In recent years, full 25 percent of high-tech startups in the US. were founded by Immigrants, that led to 200000 jobs here in America im glad those jobs are here.

Deals on how to operate more sophisticated technologies and especially how to maintain the technology using locally avaiable materi The engineer should seek to build such technological capacity in community members as an integra part of the technology development process. Now a days doing so empowers the community to successfull ‘operate and maintain their technology. It gives them Significant “ownership” ofthe techrology development process and ensures longer-term success of the new technology.
