Wealth-related inequalities in handwashing with water and soap at critical times among mothers/caregivers of children under-five years in rural Afghanistan
Handwashing with water and soap is a fundamental preventive behaviour, yet substantial socio-economic inequalities shape hygiene practices. This study assessed the magnitude and determinants of inequalities in reported handwashing behaviour among households in Afghanistan. Inequality was examined using concentration curves and concentration indices, while the Erreygers decomposition method was employed to identify the contributions of socio-demog…
Financial Inclusion, Nutrition and Socio‐Economic Status Among Rural Households in Guruve and Mount Darwin Districts, Zimbabwe
This article assessed the association between financial inclusion and nutrition among 987 rural households in two districts of Zimbabwe. Poisson and negative binomial regressions were used for model estimations. Financial inclusion increased dietary diversity and food consumption by 12 and 14 per cent, respectively. Using concentration indices, our results show pro‐rich advantages in financial inclusion and household nutrition. Promoting inclusiv…
Dietary Diversity and Food Coping Strategies in Zimbabwe
This study assessed how dietary diversity and food coping strategies differ by resilience and food insecurity status. Proportionate sampling technique was used to interview 3440 households in 18 districts of Zimbabwe. Results show that resilient and food secure households had good diet diversification and were less likely to adopt food coping strategies when compared to less resilient and food insecure ones. Adaptive and absorptive resilience cap…
Knowledge, attitudes and barriers of cervical cancer screening among women in Chegutu rural district of Zimbabwe
Cervical cancer is the most common cancer among females in Zimbabwe, yet the screening rate remains low. Building on the knowledge, attitude and practice model, this study investigated the signs and symptoms of cervical cancer, risk factors, benefits of early diagnosis and treatment, availability of health services and prevention methods. A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among 156 women aged 15–50 years in Chegutu district. Ab…
Access to Information Technologies and Consumption of Fruits and Vegetables in South Africa
Extensive evidence indicates that fruit and vegetable (F+V) consumption leads to reduced chances of diet related non-communicable diseases (NCDs). However, the F+V consumption levels remain low. This paper investigates the extent to which access to information technologies improves F+V consumption in South Africa. A nationally representative sample of 20,908 households was analysed using the Poisson and logit regression models. The study results …

Social Network Effects on Mobile Money Adoption in Uganda
This study analyses social network effects on the adoption of mobile money among rural households in Uganda. We estimate conditional logistic regressions controlling for correlated effects and other information sources. Results show that mobile money adoption is positively influenced by the size of the social network with which information is exchanged. We further find that this effect is particularly pronounced for non-poor households. Thus, whi…
Decomposing gender inequalities in self-assessed health status in Liberia
Addressing gender health inequalities inter alia requires access to health information (i.e. electronic and print media), gender responsive interventions that improve wealth in key sectors (i.e. education, employment, social protection, housing, and other appropriate infrastructure). In addition, the government, private sector and civil society should ensure that the health sector provides access to quality mosquito nets and improved health servi…
Cost effectiveness of seed fairs relative to direct relief distribution in Zimbabwe
Seed fairs were being promoted in Zimbabwe as an alternative seed distribution approach to sustain local input markets. Using data from ICRISAT monitoring surveys of 2005–06 and records maintained by non-governmental organisations, this article reveals that seed fairs were more cost effective in distributing local seed compared to direct distribution of imported seed. The article found that, in order to supply one household with a seed pack, it w…
