This overview provides a synopsis of the current knowledge base.

=== [Insert Description of an Area of Need] ===

==Areas of Needs / Desired Outcomes==
−
First, describe the area of need (e.g. employer willingness to hire, work readiness etc) in your sub-heading. It is tempting to define needs in terms a specific solution—eg youths needing mentoring, dying seniors needing hospice care. But these are not needs, they are actually specific solutions to address those needs. Needs should be defined in more perennial terms because the solutions can change while the needs generally remain largely stable. E.g. I don’t need a CD player or MP3 player, which are specific solutions to address my more perennial need, which is the need for portable music. Current solutions include streaming services like Spotify.
 
−
*'''Desired outcomes''': A ''need'' area necessarily implies that there is a ''desired outcome'' that has yet to be met. It is important to articulate what the ideal or desired outcomes for this particular need area should be, otherwise it would be unclear what the gaps will be. The trick is to use adjectives to articulate a statement about what is the desired state of affairs. People with disabilities need 'viable jobs' (that pays a living wage), or 'desirable careers' (with progression and career development)? In terms of the example above: If the desire outcome is no longer portable music (because most solutions now are portable), then a different quality like 'searchable' or 'discoverable' music would set a new criteria for what is desired.
 
  
−
*'''Synopsis:''' Provide an analytic summary of the table below, of how existing resources (if any) have been meeting the need, and gaps that still exist. The goal is to make sense of a lot of information, so at every segment, the tables and information collated seeks to be comprehensive; here at the start of each segment, we aspire to a good synoptic statement that captures the essential and highlights the pertinent. An example: If the area of need is 'Accessibility & Affordability of childcare', then the synopsis might be: "Even though there are 1,510 childcare centres across Singapore, 80% of low-income single mothers cannot afford them as they earn less than $1,500 a month.

**General outcomes:
 +
***Aim to become a zero waste nation (https://www.towardszerowaste.gov.sg/zero-waste-masterplan/)
 +
***Under the [https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/ Sustainable Development Goals] (SDGs) that Singapore has adopted at the UN Sustainable Development Summit in September 2015, the following goals are (more directly) related to the 3Rs: sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, and climate action. (https://www.singstat.gov.sg/find-data/sdg)
 +
**Specific outcomes:
 +
***Aim to reduce waste sent to our landfill by 30%, by 2030. (https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/environment/singapore-aims-to-cut-waste-sent-to-landfill-by-30)
 +
***Aim to increase domestic recycling rate from 20% in 2015 to 30% by 2030 and increase non-domestic recycling rate from 77% in 2015 to 81% by 2030. (https://www.mse.gov.sg/docs/default-source/module/ssb-publications/be3e98e5-b850-40a4-8e01-98d807132e9e.pdf)
 +
*'''Synopsis:''' Singapore is a tiny nation with a small pool of natural resources. We rely on overseas imports for materials and production, but due to increasing consumption, Singapore has seen a steep overall increase in yearly waste generated since 2003. Despite more recent years' decrease in waste generated (2017-2019), it still remains high for a small nation. With other countries struggling with their own resource issues and Singapore having limited capacity to handle waste, we need to develop strategies
 +
*'''Statistics:'''
 +
**Domestic recycling rate has remained at around 20%. It has recently decreased from 22% in 2018 to 17% in 2019.
 +
**Non-domestic recycling rate has decreased from 75% in 2018 to 73% in 2019.
 +
**Amount of waste generated in Singapore was about 7.23 million tons in 2019. Plastic waste made up about 12.9% of the waste generated. Of the 930 000 tons of plastic waste generated, only 37 000 tons were recycled. (https://www.nea.gov.sg/our-services/waste-management/waste-statistics-and-overall-recycling )

Overview

This overview provides a synopsis of the current knowledge base. Having considered all the information, we make sense of it by taking a stab at the following: 1) What are the priority issues that deserve attention, 2) What are opportunity areas that community or voluntary organisations can already take action on, and 3) What knowledge gaps deserve further investigation?

Priority Issues

  • [to insert]
  • to insert]

Actionable Opportunity Areas

  • [to insert]
  • [to insert]

Knowledge Gaps

Definitions

Definition of [insert your target group / issue]

  • Identify and define your target group or social issue, and state who is included or excluded to provide a sense of the scope of the issue. (For example, will the page on Animal Welfare include livestock? Or just focused on pets, community animals and wildlife?)
  • It is usually easier to start with national guidelines, laws or reports from apex organisations.
  • Include a comparison with how other countries define the issue if possible (e.g. Local definition of Disability does not include mental health conditions)

Key Statistics & Figures

  • Size of target population / prevalence rate: Ideally, it would be the total number of people in your target group, identified by national censuses, surveys or research. When data isn't available, try using the best available proxy, e.g., number of people receiving key services.
  • If the issue you are interested has many sub-segments and sub-pages, then only include the key figures that affect all or most stakeholders in the sector here and leave the other relevant figures at the specific segment or page. This reduces cognitive load for the reader & contributor.

Map of Key Needs & Issues

[This table and arrows acts as a kind of visual map that allows a sense of sequencing; of the broad preconditions necessary for longer term outcomes to be achieved. Hyperlink the categories below to the specific page or sub-header in the page for easy navigation, so that you can click on 'Employment' below for example, and get straight to that page / segment]

Click the links below to go directly to specific areas of interest:

Fossil Fuels ↘
Deforestation → Global Temperature Change
Agriculture & Farming ↗

Sub-pages

  • If there are population segments that have substantial enough information or interest, then create sub-pages for them. e.g. 'Autism' can be a stand alone pages linked to the Disability pages if the autism community is keen to populate more autism specific information. Or, artists with disability can populate a 'Arts & Disability' page.
  • Insert links to these sub-pages.
