      abstract = {This volume highlights some of the challenges in  delivering effective environmental health interventions,  and presents examples of emergent theories and case studies  that can help close the gap between intent and impact.  These include impact crediting systems, objective evidence  gathering tools, and social businesses that service  environmental health. The case studies presented cross  disciplines, scales, organizational and national boundaries  and can defy easy categorization. A water project may be  designed for a health impact, but financed with a climate  change tool, and leverage high tech cell phone sensors. A  cookstove program may be primarily concerned with  employment and capacity building, but balance environmental  and health concerns. Presently, the impact of interventions  may not always be aligned to the intent sought. In this  book, readers will discover alternative ways to move the  mindset of funders and implementers toward  pay-for-performance models of humanitarian and  environmental interventions. Undergraduate and graduate  students taking courses in social enterprise, social  entrepreneurship, global health, appropriate technology,  international development and development engineering would  benefit from these increasingly non-traditional case  studies that challenge commonly accepted presentations of  poverty reduction and social enterprise.},
