Debating Conflict of Interest issues | Taking money from the alcohol industry
1h 49m · PublishedWe have assembled an international panel of public health researchers and practitioners to talk about this specifically in relation to alcohol advocacy work. The alcohol industry globally has shown that they are willing to fund civil society and government programmes, directly and indirectly, through direct funding, public private partnerships (PPPs) and other means, and to present themselves as a ‘caring’ industry. But what is their true agenda? Could it be that they are using CSI support as leverage in their fight against the introduction of tougher alcohol legislation which could impact negatively on their sales and profits? Does this not pose a ‘conflict of interest’ for NGOs, CBOs and government departments that are working hard to ensure such legislation is indeed passed and implemented in the interests of public health and saving lives and money? And, if so, what concrete steps can be taken to ensure alternative, untainted funding sources for this important work?
Facilitator
> Prof Leslie London: PHM SA and UCT South Africa
Speakers
> Gianna Gayle Amul : PHD student at University of Geneva’s institute of Global Health
> Dr Samin Saban: Research Psychologist – Singapore
> Dr Melissa Mialon – France

The struggle for permanent employment of CHWs | Lessons from Gauteng
1h 42m · PublishedThe battle to archive permanent employment was not easy for them. It's been a winding road for our comrades in Gauteng. However, they did not give up. The struggle started when they were still employed by NGOs. They fought to be absorbed by the department; instead, the Department contracted them under Smart Purse. They continued to fight the National and the Provincial Departments tooth and nail in the Courts, on the streets and by occupying the department's offices.
Today the Community Health Workers are celebrating their permanent employment by the Department!
