Perspectives on enhancing peer support services for mothers living with HIV in Kenya
Mentor Mother (MM) services are an evidenced-based peer support strategy embedded within prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) programs. The current MM strategy in Kenya provides monthly, facility-based, one-size-fits-all antiretroviral therapy adherence counselling and health education to women living with HIV (WLHIV) who are navigating PMTCT services. MMs receive a small monthly stipend as compensation for providing these se…
Determinants of HIV interruption in treatment in Murang’a County, Kenya
Globally, approximately one-in-four people living with HIV (PLHIV) experiences interruption in treatment (IIT), risking viral rebound, transmission, morbidity, and mortality. Murang’a County reported 82% viral suppression coverage, below Kenya’s 94%. This study assessed IIT magnitude and determinants using sequential-explanatory mixed methods across nine high-volume facilities (Jan 2023–Jun 2024). PLHIV missing clinical appointments by >30 days w…
Human-centered design of an adapted differentiated service delivery model for pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV in Kenya
Differentiated service delivery (DSD) models for pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV (WLH) are lacking despite guidelines recommending DSD for this population. We used human-centered design (HCD) to develop a DSD model for pregnant and postpartum WLH at the Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH) in Kenya. We conducted co-creation workshops with 11 postpartum women, 9 male partners and 9 providers from three AMPATH-affili…

Effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on late postpartum women living with HIV in Kenya
Although an estimated 1.4 million women living with HIV (WHIV) are pregnant each year globally, data describing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on postpartum women in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are limited. To address this gap, we conducted phone surveys among 170 WHIV ≥18 years and 18–24 months postpartum enrolled in HIV care at the Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare in western Kenya, and assessed the effects of the…
Retention in care and viral suppression in the PMTCT continuum at a large referral facility in western Kenya
Medical records of pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV and their infants attending a large referral facility in Kenya from 2015 to 2019 were analyzed to identify characteristics associated with retention in care and viral suppression. Women were stratified based on the timing of HIV care enrollment: known HIV-positive (KHP; enrolled pre-pregnancy) and newly HIV-positive (NHP; enrolled during pregnancy). Associations with retention at 18…
A qualitative study of the barriers and enhancers to retention in care for pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV
Retention in care is a major challenge for pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV (PPHIV) in the prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT) continuum. However, the factors influencing retention from the perspectives of women who have become lost to follow-up (LTFU) are not well described. We explored these factors within an enhanced sub-cohort of the East Africa International Epidemiology Databases to Evaluate AIDS Consortium. …

Markets for Nutrition
Policymakers are increasingly seeking to use food systems to help reduce rates of chronic undernutrition and to use markets to deliver nutrient?rich foods to vulnerable populations. This article examines how this might be achieved, drawing lessons from three intervention types: ready?to?use therapeutic foods (RUTFs), mandatory fortification and voluntarily fortified products. We find that a common set of constraints tends to inhibit markets from …
Understanding the Complexities of Private Standards in Global Agri-Food Chains as They Impact Developing Countries
The increasing prevalence of private standards governing food safety, food quality and environmental and social impacts of agri-food systems has raised concerns about the effects on developing countries, as well as the governance of agri-food value chains more broadly. It is argued that current debates have been 'clouded' by a failure to recognise the diversity of private standards in terms of their institutional form, who develops and adopts the…
The Development of the Physicians' Peace Movements
A brief historical account is given of the development of medical ethics, and of the gradual assumption of medical responsibilities in relation to victims of war. The idea that the medical profession as a whole should be concerned with health problems throughout the world, other than those of their own nationals, is quite recent. Collaboration in this area began with the International Health Organization of the League of Nations, and was greatly …
Are Exporters in Africa Facing Reduced Availability of Trade Finance
One of the widely-predicted consequences of the global financial crisis is a shortage of trade finance that will exacerbate declines in trade volumes. Many commentators and policymakers have predicted such a shortage, and the G20 London Summit committed to substantial increases in trade finance. Should development practitioners be concerned about whether decreasing availability of trade credit will undermine export performance in sub-Saharan Afri…

The governance of global value chains
This article builds a theoretical framework to help explain governance patterns in global value chains. It draws on three streams of literature – transaction costs economics, production networks, and technological capability and firm-level learning – to identify three variables that play a large role in determining how global value chains are governed and change. These are: (1) the complexity of transactions, (2) the ability to codify transaction…
E-commerce for Developing Countries
Development agencies have emphasised the potential of business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce to reduce barriers to entry to global markets for small and medium-sized enterprises in developing countries. E-marketplaces would allow firms to buy and sell online, reaching customers across the world at low cost. A study of B2B e-marketplaces and the use of the internet by developing country firms shows a different picture. There is little evidence that…

Changing Governance Patterns in the Trade in Fresh Vegetables between Africa and the United Kingdom
Over the past twenty years the marketing of African fresh vegetables in the United Kingdom has become dominated by large retailers that have adopted competitive strategies based on quality, year-round supply, and product differentiation. This has led to a dramatic change in marketing channels, from wholesale markets to tightly knit supply chains. Global value chain analysis is used to explain why the various stages of production and marketing hav…

Introduction
Globalisation has become a catchword for the international economy at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The increasing importance of export-oriented industrialisation has made integration into the global economy virtually synonymous with development for a number of nations. However, there is an acute awareness that the gains from globalisation are very unevenly distributed within as well as between societies. A growing body of work analy…

Auto Workers and the Working Class in Brazil
INTRODUCTION In May 1978 a series of stoppages occurred in the auto industry in Brazil, which is concentrated in the southern industrial belt of Sao Paulo. After a decade in which the semblance of industrial peace had been guaranteed by a combination of legal controls over the trade unions, repression of rank-andfile organizations in the plants, and strict control over political opposition to the military government, the working class once again …
Are the Unemployed Part of the Urban Poverty Problem in Latin America
For a long period, the consensus in development studies argued that the unemployed in urban areas were not part of the poverty problem. It was argued in the 1970s that open unemployment in developing countries was not, in general, a serious social problem. This was not because rates of open unemployment were low in urban areas - Turnham cited open unemployment rates in urban areas of over ten per cent for countries as diverse as Ghana, Guyana, Pa…

Quality Issues for Korean Manufacturing Industry
Rising wages and an appreciating exchange rate currency forced Korean exporters of manufactured goods to try to move up?market at the end of the 1980s. This involves improving both product specification and conformance to standards. The Korean government is actively promoting improved quality systems in manufacturing as a means of enhancing competitiveness. Large Korean firms have much in their favour in this area ? particularly their technologic…

Labour Turnover and Women's Work
Susan Cunningham's use of the data from the Relagdo Annual de Informa9oes Sociais provides a good example of the potentialities opened up to researchers by the expansion of statistical sources in Brazil in the past decade. Although some reservations about the reliability of the RAIS data need to be stated, there is no doubt that it represents a considerable advance on previously available labour-force statistics. This is above all the case with r…
The growth of female employment in Brazilian manufacturing industry in the 1970s
Female employment grew very rapidly in Brazilian manufacturing industry in the 1970s. Contrary to the predictions of some writers, women have not been marginalised from the industrial labour force as a result of dependent development. Among various hypotheses advanced in the literature to explain the sharp rise in female employment, the scarcity of male labour resulting from rapid economic growth is found to be the most convincing. This hypothesi…
