Assessing the impact of the securitization narrative on climate change adaptation in Nigeria
In Nigeria, the threat posed by climate change is leading policymakers and the media to frame climate change as a security threat that warrants support for adaptive actions. We draw upon securitization theory to examine how security narratives affect climate change adaptation. Using primary and secondary data, we find that although securitization arguments are easily identified in climate change policies and action plans in Nigeria, the implicati…
Standardization and Risk Governance
This multi-disciplinary book conceptualizes, maps, and analyses ongoing standardization processes of risk issues across various sectors, processes, and practices.\n\nStandards are not only technical specifications and guidelines to support efficient risk governance, but also contain social, political, economic, and organizational aspects. This book presents a variety of standardization processes and applications of standards that may influence ou…
Access and utilisation of healthcare services in rural Tanzania
This study compared the access and utilisation of health services in public and non-public health facilities in terms of quality, equity and trust in the Mbarali district, Tanzania. Interviews, focus group discussions, and informal discussions were used to generate data. Of the 1836 respondents, 1157 and 679 respondents sought healthcare services on their last visit at public or non-public health facilities, respectively. While 45.5% rated the qu…
Using the unmet obstetric needs indicator to map inequities in life-saving obstetric interventions at the local health care system in Kenya
The findings, if used as a proxy to maternal mortality, suggest that rural women face higher risks of dying during pregnancy and childbirth. This indicates the need to improve priority setting towards ensuring equity in access to life saving interventions for pregnant women in underserved areas
Knowledge creation and reliable decision-making in complex emergencies
This paper examines how the creation of knowledge and the location of decision-making authority within relief organisations influence coordination. Information was collected from the headquarters of international non-governmental organisations in 2003, as well as from Darfur and Khartoum, Sudan, in 2005 and 2007, respectively. Relief organisations rely on quality information dissemination between the field and headquarters. Yet, reporting from th…
Decentralized health care priority-setting in Tanzania
Conflicting goals and mixed roles in risk regulation
This paper discusses the challenge of a regulator being on a position of preventing organisational accidents in high‐technology domains when causes are complex, often poorly understood and with an open or hidden expectation of adding values to society. The purpose of the paper is to assess the combination of mixed roles when a regulator combines the task of facilitating resources management along with controlling the accompanied risks – multiple …
Technological change as a trade-off between social construction and technological paradigms
Societal safety, archaeology and the investigation of contemporary mass graves
The article focuses on the role of archaeological investigations into mass graves and subsequent revelation of truth and enforcement of justice. Post violent conflict state authorities or rebels ordered massive killings of people and concealed them in mass graves. Mass grave investigations have made a significant contribution to solving the problem of the missing. The excavation of mass graves can serve different purposes related to the societal …
Availability, distribution and use of emergency obstetric care in northern Tanzania
The objective of this study is to determine the availability, distribution and quality of facilities providing delivery services, as well as their use by pregnant women. The study is a survey of all facilities providing delivery services (n = 129) in six districts in northern Tanzania. The framework provided by the UNICEF/UNFPA/WHO (UN) Guidelines is applied. An attempt is made to answer the first three questions in this audit outline: are there …
Rape in refugee camps as organisational failures
Gender-based violence (GBV) in refugee camps is analysed by using mainstream theories of risk and safety management derived from studies of accidents in technological production systems. We use theory of organisational accidents and man-made disasters to explain the mutual linkages between latent conditions for GBV embedded in the structures of humanitarian organisations, and assaults occurring in the camps. Furthermore, safety management theory …
