The two strategies for ensuring sustainability in post-funding years in the public health program were forming coalitions and partnerships to create a platform and using the media for conveying policy messages to develop awareness among the public I have used the above strategies before. The first strategy takes more time than the second strategy Formation of a coalition and partnerships are hard since the people must have the goals to fulfill. For example, people can form a coalition for helping the poor with the main objective of alleviating homelessness. But such partnership requires people to contribute money so that they can show the public their seriousness In most cases) the members of the coalitions are the veterans themselves who need help. Therefore, it may become hard to convince the public to fund the partnership in the future. The second strategy that involves using the media to create public awareness is more effective.
This is because the veterans can raise their voices for the difficulties they are facing, which can help them to get sponsors for producing documentaries that show the difficulties that they face. There are billions of people who get information worldwide through social media such as Television, Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr among others. Using the media is an excellent platform where people can join and contribute some funds towards helping veterans to alleviate homelessness. These may also involve the politicians who can present the veteran‘s grievances to the Senate for further help Some international bodies who may be touched by what they see in the media might give a helping hand by contributing funds to public health programs. Hence, using the media is more efficient and effective for ensuring sustainability in post-funding years.
