This series of Good Practice Guides is designed to share important information about health inequalities and some of the evidence-based measures that can be taken to reduce the stark differences in health and wellbeing within populations. It is recognised that leadership and coordinated, effective action at a number of levels can reduce this gap. Ensuring concerted, evidence-based action on health and wellbeing inequalities demands the efforts of government, statutory organisations and the community, voluntary and private sectors. The Good Practice Guides were developed to inform and support joined-up working across these sectors. It is known that health inequalities are closely linked with degrees of social disadvantage and with the unequal distribution of power, income, goods and services. According to the World Health Organization, there are also powerful social and psychological factors and life circumstances that can serve to compound health and wellbeing inequalities. The topics included in the Good Practice Guide series reflect the wider determinants of health and the range of approaches necessary to reduce health inequalities. This first set of three guides is designed, in part, to test their usefulness. There are many other issues and areas where evidence of what works may be needed. It is envisaged that further guides will follow on other issues. All of the guides will be kept under review and amended in light of experience.

Set of best practices performed in the Universidad de Costa Rica (Costa Rica), which were presented into the First Benchmarking Round session within the 2nd face-to-face meeting of the W-STEM ERASMUS + Capacity-building in Higher Education European Project (Ref. 598923-EPP-1-2018-1-ES-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP), which was held in Universidad del Norte, Barranquilla (Colombia), 27-29 November 2019. ; W-STEM (Building the future of Latin America: engaging women into STEM) is a project funded under European Union ERASMUS + Capacity-building in Higher Education Programme (598923-EPP-1-2018-1-ES-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP).

Das Projekt "Auto 5000" lässt sich dem Autor zufolge als Good-Practice-Beispiel einer innovativen Arbeitspolitik beschreiben, in welchem es darum ging, Erfahrungen mit Organisationskonzepten, wie erweiterter Teamarbeit, einer Dehierarchisierung der betrieblichen Führungsstrukturen und einer dezentralen Betriebsorganisation zu sammeln und deren Leistungsfähigkeit zu erproben. Aus Sicht der Interessenvertretung sollte damit zugleich eine Alternative zu den bestehenden Retaylorisierungstendenzen aufgezeigt werden. Im Bereich der Fabrikorganisation wurde in den letzten vier Jahren eine Vielzahl von organisatorischen Einzelelementen konzipiert und in die Praxis umgesetzt, die sich mittlerweile zu einem integrierten Gesamtkonzept verknüpft haben. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden folgende zentrale Elemente der Fabrikorganisation von "Auto 5000" näher dargestellt: Arbeitsorganisation und prozessbestimmte Teamarbeit, erweitertes Funktionsprofil der ersten Führungsebene, flache Hierarchien, prozessorientierte dezentrale Betriebsorganisation, betriebliche Steuerungsformen sowie aktive Einbindung der Arbeitsteams in die Prozessoptimierung ("PDCA-Konzept").

This report presents case studies on successful Asian water utilities. The case studies provide objective, accurate, and critical analyses of urban water management practices in eight Asian cities over a 10-year period. Other local leaders throughout the developing world can use these cases to help craft their own solutions, taking into account specific local circumstances. What is most important for cities is to find some common base elements for success and then replicate these, albeit with appropriate modifications, to suit their own special conditions.
