Unintended consequences must not be overlooked and avoided. As any philanthropic work must not come in the sacrifice of environment, society, health and the well-being of people.

Unintended Consequences could be impactful and needs attention.

Sustainability is one of the most important factor for consideration of implementing a project. Sustainable development requires much efforts and genuine concern for the community. If the project is just to use up the fund and utilize it to help for short-term then, it's basically a way of helping which hurt the community.

Along the implementation, there are many unintended consequences of the input and activities done. It could be positive or negative consequences which may impact the success of the project.

Informative session

I think this module is so important, it help me understand how to prevent an unintended consequences.

The framework divides livelihood assets into 6 types: natural assets, physical assets, financial assets, human assets, social assets, and cultural assets

In the social sciences, unintended consequences (sometimes unanticipated consequences or unforeseen consequences) are outcomes of a purposeful action that are not intended or foreseen.

Designing a program that continues to make impact without involvement is a major important thing and crucial.

This is a great topic

What should be done when you realize that your foreseen unintended consequences is out of your control?

Community participation and contribution is most important thing for sustaining the program. it helps to develop ownership of the program

This module helps to develop organization

It is very important that a non-profit organization clearly define its mission and who are its beneficiaries of its programs, because this will allow it to achieve greater social impact and also facilitate its applicability

There is no prompt, but this seems cool.

In the social sciences, unintended consequences (sometimes unanticipated consequences or unforeseen consequences) are outcomes of a purposeful action that are not intended or foreseen.

An unintended consequence is that suppliers of plywood from outside the region, who would have been willing to supply plywood quickly at the higher market price, are less willing to do so at the government-controlled price. Thus results a shortage of a good where it is badly needed.

A positive unintended consequence is an unanticipated benefit that emerges from an action. Adam Smith's notion of the “invisible hand” is one example of a positive unintended consequence. Smith famously argued that each individual pursuing his own ends generates widespread benefits beyond that individual

Detailed assessment would help to overcome the unintended consequences.

Yeah is part of all acyivities

Yes it is

Though being aware how can we the the future unseen consequences

HOW TO MANAGE RISK
Identifying risks ahead of time is essential. Providing a framework for identifying risks, assessing how serious they are, and creating a mitigation plan.

Unintended questions are of course challenging to navigate as you/your organization could go into a situation or a plan with the best intentions at heart, but still miss something or end up having a negative impact in some aspect. I think it is definitely important to do as much research as possible into the issue at hand and into your solution. Has something like this been attempted before? Has it failed or been successful? Why or why not? I also think it is essential to be in tune with the community and/or population you are serving. It's important to make sure their voices are heard and amplified, and the solution or work you are providing is coming from a place or knowledge and understanding.

Creating a risk register and profering mitigating strategies is a very veritable way of arresting the impact of unintended consequences on project performance. It is very important to recognise the fact that things could go wrong caused by factors outside the country of the project so that you can develop strategies in the event that it crystalises.

95% possibility that they may exist

Just the agencies working alone can't make a change but it's a responsibiity of the society to be an inclusive part in making the effort a success,as they have the ability to negate most of the unintended consequences.

unexpected consequences during the implementation of a project can compromise the desired social impact

i agree with this opinion

great, super

No I don't want to add on because everything there is true

Even well-established organizations can produce negative unintended consequences, often to disastrous result. Luckily, there are tools and processes to help you avoid doing harm. Read this article to find out more.

It is a definitely a question that we ask ourselves all the time and we analyse every project development and its implementation. For example, we didn't intend create less performing staff at our hospital, by employing our own beneficiaries that our hospital helped. They got non medical employment as the support staff based on their story and our intend to help them and their families but it did not help our hospital's operations rather their lack of experience, will or education would affect our operations and they had become a liability to our organization in the long run.

Sustainability means
Describes adoption of environmentally and socially responsible practice and/or improvement of environmental, social or economic performance.

Sustainability
means meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their
own needs. In addition to natural resources, we also need social and economic resources.

Sustainability
means meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their

There are three categories of sustainability:
Environmental Sustainability
Ecological integrity is maintained, all of earth’s environmental
systems are kept in balance while natural resources within
them are consumed by humans at a rate where they are able
to replenish themselves.
Economic Sustainability
Human communities across the globe are able to maintain
their independence and have access to the resources that they
require, financial and other, to meet their needs. Economic
systems are intact and activities are available to everyone,
such as secure sources of livelihood.
Social Sustainability
Universal human rights and basic necessities are attainable
by all people, who have access to enough resources in order
to keep their families and communities healthy and secure.
Healthy communities have just leaders who ensure personal,
labour and cultural rights are respected and all people are
protected from discrimination

I am new but i learn something in this course

Unintended outcomes can be negative or positive. Negative outcomes must be tackled adequately and promptly.

I love this module.. i think i learnt a lot

Rather than viewing unintended consequences as failures, we can treat them as learning opportunities. They underscore the need for holistic approaches, collaborative efforts, and adaptive strategies that account for the complexities of the social landscape. By staying humble, responsive, and open to course corrections, social enterprises can work towards mitigating unintended consequences while amplifying their positive impact."

Collaboration is a tool that can be used here. Working with organisations that can help mitigate these unintended consequences

Scalability means developing a product people actually want and figuring out how to stamp out lots of them for lower costs while selling ever more of them. Sustainability is moving your business beyond initial investment to sustenance.

I am a little confused. Can positive consequences and impacts of our program be labelled as unintended impacts?

I've come thus far into this course and I'm really having a blast taking this course.

Sustainability involves practices that balance economic, social, and environmental factors to ensure long-term well-being. Likelihood of success refers to the probability of achieving desired outcomes in a given endeavor, considering various factors like resources and market conditions. Unintended outcomes are unforeseen consequences, positive or negative, resulting from actions or decisions. Understanding and managing these outcomes is vital for effective decision-making.
