The Syndemic Effects of Food Insecurity, Depression, and Gender-Based Violence on HIV Treatment Outcomes Among People with HIV in Zimbabwe
To work or not to work? Child stunting and maternal labour force participation in South Africa
Stunting, which affects about one-quarter of South African children below five years, has a long-term effect on a child's development and a potential economic cost to mothers. A stunted child necessitates more attention, thereby reducing the time a mother, especially if she is the primary caregiver, has available to seize labour market opportunities. This study investigated the relationship between child stunting and maternal labour force partici…
Food system interventions in urban environments: Integrating simulation models and stakeholder solutions
Diverse actor perspectives on African urban food systems: Lessons from participatory food system modeling in Worcester, South Africa
Successful management of complex food systems inherently requires societal engagement. A major barrier is the misalignment between high-level generalized scientific representations of the urban food system and the varying practical perspectives of the actors embedded within it. To bridge this gap, participatory approaches can help in collecting and structuring knowledge from food system actors in a way that is understood by people with a diversit…
Precision approaches to food insecurity: A spatial analysis of urban hunger and its contextual correlates in an African city
Intersectoral (in)activity: Towards an understanding of public sector department links between water, sanitation and hygiene (Wash) and childhood undernutrition in South Africa
Associations between different forms of malnutrition and environmental conditions, including water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), contribute to poor child health, nutritional status and physical growth. The primary responsibility for the provision of water and sanitation, as a basic service and human right, lies with the State, as such, a number of stakeholders are involved. Despite relatively high levels of WASH infrastructure coverage in South…

Exploring poverty traps and social exclusion in South Africa using qualitative and quantitative data
Recent theoretical work hypothesises that a polarised society like South Africa will suffer a legacy of ineffective social capital and blocked pathways of upward mobility that leaves large numbers of people trapped in poverty. To explore these ideas, this paper employs a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods. Novel econometric analysis of asset dynamics over the 1993–98 period identifies a dynamic asset poverty threshold that signals that l…
Poverty Diagnostics Using Poor Data: Strengthening the Evidence Base for Pro-Poor Policy Making in Lesotho
Communities, Opportunities, and Adolescents’ Sexual Behavior in KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa
In 2002, the prevalence of HIV among South African clinic attendees under the age of 20 was 15 percent, suggesting a correspondingly high level of unprotected sex and risky sexual behavior. Past research focused on the dynamics of individuals’ and partners’ sexual decisionmaking without accounting for the larger context in which such decisions are made. Do adolescents’ opportunities for schooling, work, and other community activities make a diffe…

Social capital and household welfare in South Africa, 1993–98
The aim in this study is to determine the nature of the causal relationship, if any, between ‘social capital’, as measured by household membership in formal and informal groups and household welfare in South Africa. Using a recently collected panel data set in South Africa's largest province, we estimate per capita expenditure functions including measures of social capital. After controlling for fixed effects and simultaneity, we find social capi…

Differentiation and inequality in the bantustans: Evidence from Kwazulu∗
In the absence of suitable data, the extent of social and economic differentiation in the bantustans and the specific form which it takes, has not been examined quantitively. Drawing upon survey data gathered in KwaZulu, this paper attempts to make some contribution towards the analysis of inequalities within rural areas. The distribution and composition of household income, access to the subsistence factors ofproduction, and stage in the develop…
