00:00:01.740 --> 00:00:04.440
<v ->Hi, everyone, and welcome to module 10.</v>

2
00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:05.760
This week, we'll be learning about

3
00:00:05.760 --> 00:00:06.930
principles of good governance

4
00:00:06.930 --> 00:00:09.210
in international health organizations.

5
00:00:09.210 --> 00:00:11.250
Why is good governance important?

6
00:00:11.250 --> 00:00:13.380
Well, it plays a role in the ethical functioning

7
00:00:13.380 --> 00:00:16.320
in an organization, and ensures that local, national,

8
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:18.870
and international regulations are met.

9
00:00:18.870 --> 00:00:22.560
We will also discuss the role of a clearly defined board

10
00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:24.540
and the leadership of an organization,

11
00:00:24.540 --> 00:00:27.360
and the setting of institutional priorities.

12
00:00:27.360 --> 00:00:29.520
One of the key ways in which we'll learn about this

13
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:31.320
is through the key delineation of roles

14
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:33.690
of members of governing board,

15
00:00:33.690 --> 00:00:36.870
and the different activities

16
00:00:36.870 --> 00:00:40.473
that members holding each position are responsible for.

17
00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:44.370
This week, you'll have some readings and videos to watch.

18
00:00:44.370 --> 00:00:45.480
In addition to my lecture,

19
00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:46.740
you should watch the short lecture

20
00:00:46.740 --> 00:00:48.990
from the Consortium of Universities for Global Health,

21
00:00:48.990 --> 00:00:52.830
or CUGH, about corruption in global health.

22
00:00:52.830 --> 00:00:55.230
This video highlights the need for the transparent

23
00:00:55.230 --> 00:00:57.120
and well-designed governing structures

24
00:00:57.120 --> 00:01:00.330
to avoid corruption and unethical conduct.

25
00:01:00.330 --> 00:01:03.150
We'll hear more about that transparency

26
00:01:03.150 --> 00:01:05.910
and other principles underlying good governance

27
00:01:05.910 --> 00:01:08.580
when we review the SMART governance principles,

28
00:01:08.580 --> 00:01:12.270
or S-M-A-R-T principles this week.

29
00:01:12.270 --> 00:01:14.400
We also have some readings from the United Nations

30
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.050
about the sustainable development goals

31
00:01:16.050 --> 00:01:18.030
and case studies from the governorship

32
00:01:18.030 --> 00:01:20.253
of various international organizations.

33
00:01:21.150 --> 00:01:23.310
In addition to the didactic materials,

34
00:01:23.310 --> 00:01:26.100
you'll have a quiz and a discussion on Yellowdig.

35
00:01:26.100 --> 00:01:27.120
For the discussion this week,

36
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.130
please choose one of the two scenarios presented

37
00:01:29.130 --> 00:01:31.773
and discuss using the smart governance principles.

38
00:01:32.610 --> 00:01:34.410

39
00:01:34.410 --> 00:01:36.210
with any questions or concerns.

I hope you all have a good week.
