The determinants of information seeking behaviour and paying attention to earthquake-related information
This study explores the process and determinants of finding information about earthquake-preparedness andof paying attention to earthquake-related information. Data were collected in Istanbul-Turkey, where an earthquake with a magnitude greater than 7 on the Richter scale is expected in the near future, using qualitative methods. Participants were mainly exposed to earthquake-related information following an earthquake. They seldom sought informa…

Looking at the bigger picture
In Tanzania, the health financing system is extremely fragmented with strategies in place to supplement funds provided from the central level. One of these strategies is the Community Health Fund (CHF), a voluntary health insurance scheme for the informal rural sector. As its implementation has been challenging, we investigated different CHF implementation practices and how these practices and the wider health financing context affect CHF impleme…

Social Resilience and Mental Health Among Eritrean Asylum-Seekers in Switzerland
Eritreans comprise the largest group of asylum-seekers in Switzerland. Gaining recognized refugee status can take up to 36 months, during which time asylum-seekers live in a state of legal limbo, intensifying threats to their well-being. Resilience and mental health among this population is poorly understood. We interviewed 10 asylum-seekers residing in Switzerland using qualitative, in-depth interviews. Data were analyzed using the Framework Met…
Effects of self-esteem and stress on self-assessed health
‘It is not expected for married couples’
BACKGROUND: Behavioral change approaches for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention in Tanzania encourage married partners to observe safe sex practices (condom use, avoidance of, or safe sex with multiple partners). To implement this advice, partners need to communicate with each other about safer sex, which is often challenging. Although social-structural factors are crucial in understanding sexual behavior, only a few studies focus on u…
Prevalence and social drivers of HIV among married and cohabitating heterosexual adults in south-eastern Tanzania
BACKGROUND: In sub-Saharan Africa, the prevalence of HIV among married and cohabiting couples is substantial. Information about the underlying social drivers of HIV transmission in couples is critical for the development of structural approaches to HIV prevention, but not readily available. We explored the association between social drivers, practices, and HIV status among stable couples in Ifakara, Tanzania. DESIGN: Using a cross-sectional desig…
The use of social media among adolescents in Dar es Salaam and Mtwara, Tanzania
Social media form part of the rapid worldwide digital development that is re-shaping the life of many young people. While the use of social media by youths is increasingly researched in the North, studies about youth in the South are missing. It therefore remains unclear how social media can be included in interventions that aim at informing young people in many countries of the global South about sexual and reproductive health. This paper presen…
Building multi‐layered resilience in a malaria control programme in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
This study applied the multi‐layered social resilience framework in the context of an urban malaria control programme by using a qualitative approach. It was found that exchange between and within administrative levels supported resilience‐building processes in terms of mosquito breeding site elimination. ‘Reactive’ and ‘proactive’ capacities were successfully built among programme staff. However, more potential could be tapped among local leader…
Multi‐layered social resilience
Research on sustainable development tends to focus on risk and vulnerability. This article argues for a shift of emphasis from vulnerability to resilience. It develops a Multi‐layered social resilience framework emphasising the interactions between enabling factors and capacities operating at different levels of society. Enabling factors help to master threats by facilitating access to and transformation of capitals. Capacities lead social actors…
Die Erfolgskontrolle der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit und ihre Realitäten
Eine wirkungsorientierte Erfolgskontrolle steht im Mittelpunkt der aktuellen entwicklungspolitischen Diskussionen. Bisher fehlen jedoch detaillierte Studien zu den tatsächlichen Umsetzungsrealitäten in der Praxis. Diese Studie zeigt anhand von Frauenrechtsprojekten in Afrika, die im Rahmen der deutschen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit gefördert werden, inwieweit Vorgaben zu »Monitoring & Evaluation« unterschiedlich interpretiert bzw. umgesetzt werden.…
