This volume highlights some of the challenges in delivering
effective environmental health interventions, and presents examples
of emergent theories and case studies that can help close the gap
between intent and impact. These include impact crediting systems,
objective evidence gathering tools, and social businesses that
service environmental health. The case studies presented cross
disciplines, scales, organizational and national boundaries and can
defy easy categorization. A water project may be designed for a
health impact, but financed with a climate change tool, and
leverage high tech cell phone sensors. A cookstove program may be
primarily concerned with employment and capacity building, but
balance environmental and health concerns. Presently, the impact of
interventions may not always be aligned to the intent sought. In
this book, readers will discover alternative ways to move the
mindset of funders and implementers toward pay-for-performance
models of humanitarian and environmental interventions.
Undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in social
enterprise, social entrepreneurship, global health, appropriate
technology, international development and development engineering
would benefit from these increasingly non-traditional case studies
that challenge commonly accepted presentations of poverty reduction
and social enterprise.
