I was very honored to participate in the 2015 UC Berkeley Center for Global Public Health Annual Symposium entitled “Making Cents, Making Change.” The one day workshop focused on economic innovations for adolescent health and wellbeing. The distinguished guest list included Fred Ssewamala, Associate Professor of Social Work and Director of the Columbia University International Center for Child Health and Asset Development, Dr. Lousie Fox, former Lead Economist at the World Bank (Africa Region), and UC Berkeley faculty members Dr. Ndola Prata, Dr. Doug Jutte, Dr. Ali Minnis, and Dr. Colette (Coco) Auerswald. One of the key discussions during the day addressed whether economic interventions are most likely to be effective and sustainable when delivered at the individual, community, or policy level.
