Democracy, Governance and Curbing Corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa
Location: Cheyney University of Pennsylvania
An international conference organized by the Master of Public Administration Program, in collaboration with The African & Caribbean Business Council.
While other regions of the world are making strides in improving the living standards of their citizens, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is still trapped in poverty with more than 40% of its 600 million people living below the internationally recognised absolute poverty level of US$ 1 per day. Several reports highlight corruption as one of the institutional and systemic problems responsible for keeping million of Africans under absolute poverty. In fact, the 2008 Transparency International report demonstrates a direct link between corruption and failure of societal institutions to effectively achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in SSA. It is a serious concern that the goals of halving poverty in SSA by the year 2015 from the level of 1990 will not be met.

Understanding Tenure when Applying for Jobs and Negotiating Offers
Tuesday, February 26, 12 – 1:30 pm
Houston Hall, Ben Franklin Room 223
Applying for and being offered a tenure-track position is one of the common goals of the academic job search. But do you know how the actual tenure process works? Should you be thinking about the tenure process when you are applying to different types of institutions? And when you are offered a tenure-track position, what role should the tenure process play in your negotiations? Are you unsure about whether the tenure clock can be stopped, and for what reasons? If you have questions about any aspect of tenure as it relates to your academic job search, then bring your questions to this program.
The speaker for this program will be:
Lynn Hollen Lees, PhD, Professor of History and Vice-Provost for Faculty, University of Pennsylvania

"Dissemination and Implementation Research in Low and Middle Income Countries"

Smilow Center for Translational Research (next to the Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine), Room 12-146AB
Lunch we be served at 12:15 - First come, first served.
Talk abstract:
This presentation will give a brief overview of implementing evidence-based practices in global health and global mental health research. Specifically,
it will address challenges and lessons learned around M&E implementation in low and middle income countries (LMIC). Various implementation strategies
that have been used in studies in LMIC will be outlined, such as the Apprenticeship Model of Training lay workers. Implementation evaluations
from multiple studies will be reviewed including: a) client and counselor perspectives of implementing an evidence based mental health treatment for
children in Zambia, and b) two randomized controlled trials of a Common Elements Treatment Approach for adult torture survivors in Southern Iraq
and the Thailand-Burma border. Discussion will include future directions for implementation science and bi-directional learning with global and
domestic D&I research.
Laura Murray, Ph.D.
Dr. Murray is a clinical psychologist and an Assistant Scientist at Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health in the Department of
Mental Health. Dr. Murray is part of the Applied Mental Health Research Group that uses a validated methodology (both qualitative and quantitative)
on the Design, Implementation, Monitoring and Evaluation of programs. This group strives to infuse evidence-based assessments, treatments and
evaluations into existing programs by international aid organizations. Dr. Murray has a specialty in evidence-based interventions for children,
adolescents and families, particularly in the area of trauma and traumatic grief. She has also developed a version of a Common Elements Treatment
Approach for use in low-and middle- income countries (LMIC), specifically training lay persons. Dr. Murray's specific area of interest is
researching the implementation processes of mental health work in low-resource countries. Some of Dr. Murray's funded projects include: a)
examining the implementation and feasibility of a trauma-focused evidence-based treatment in Zambia (NIMH K23), b) a randomized clinical
trial of TF-CBT and psychosocial counseling in Zambia (NICHD, RO1), c) researching the dissemination and implementation process of mental health
treatments in low-resource countries (USAID), c) implementing a common elements intervention for adult survivors of torture in both Southern Iraq
and the Thailand/Burma border - both of which include a RCT (USAID), and d) developing a manual for the inter-correlation of Mental Health and HIV in
low-resource countries (USAID). She works closely with local organizations and populations to train on treatment models, appropriately adapt them for
the culture and setting, and examine training and supervision models needed for implementation and sustainability in LMIC.
