Discussion Questions (Stakeholders and Coordination): Please be prepared to discuss the following questions in addition to the required readings.
What might the DoD bring to the stakeholder ‘table’ that other organizations may not? In other words, what does the DoD excel in (at one or more levels – strategic, operational, and tactical) that we could use to prove our value in the global health/humanitarian space?
How might the DoD engage with a potentially non-trusting partner/stakeholder – whether it be an NGO or a local government (for example)?
Have you worked with a global health stakeholder (domestic or international)? If so, what was your experience with coordination between the entity you represented and the stakeholder you worked with? Did you experience challenges to communication and/or cooperation?
Discussion Questions (Principles and Practices): Please be prepared to discuss the following questions in addition to the required readings.
In what ways do humanitarian and DoD principles align? How do they differ?
Research and briefly summarize a global health program that had unintended consequences. How can we be sure that these consequences are not repeated?
Why is it important to build partnerships and sustainability in global health engagements?
