Major New York Clinton conference talks about communities

Eric Green a community psychologist has been at a global initiative conference in New York sponsored by the Clinton Foundation. He is blogging from this conference and his most recent blog is "getting to the HOW business." Apparently, even on a global basis, it is often much easier to describe the challenges and problems within communities than it is to come up with solutions that work. If you read his blog you will see how this is working among those who are looking for solutions to many of the world's tough problems. Making me think at the same time of work that Eve Puffer, a community psychologist, who works with the Duke Global Health Initiative has been doing in Kenya. She spent the summer implementing a research project to see if there is way to bring the strength of the social sciences to helping solve the HIV/Aids problem among young girls in one village. Getting to the How is a difficult challenge.
