Integrating Climate Change Adaptation, Disaster Risk Reduction, and Social Protection for Enhanced Resilience
Integrating climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and social protection is crucial for enhancing resilience in vulnerable communities. This study aims to assess the level of integration among these three approaches in the Somali Region, Ethiopia. A qualitative methodology, involving a meta-analysis of 122 projects and program documents was conducted to evaluate the integration levels of the approaches. Key informant interviews and f…
Theory-based evaluation of the impact of Master’s programmes in development studies
Does climate-smart agriculture improve household income and food security? Evidence from Southern Ethiopia
Climate change threatens African countries’ economic development and affects agriculture and food security. Ethiopia is especially vulnerable to the negative effects of climate change because its economy is dependent on climate-sensitive livelihoods that have limited potential for adaptation. Emerging evidence indicates that climate-smart agriculture (CSA) can help smallholder farmers adapt to climate change and increase agricultural productivity…
Climate variability and livelihood diversification in northern Ethiopia
This article examines smallholders’ perceptions of climate variability in two districts in northern Ethiopia, and the diversification options pursued within and outside agriculture. Meteorological records corroborate smallholders’ belief that temperatures are increasing but do not support assertions that rainfall is decreasing. Farm‐level adaptation mainly involves soil and water conservation measures learnt from state‐led schemes as well as plan…
Medical Home Finds Real Estate in a Children’s Hospital
The Center for children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children in Philadelphia is one such model and has grown steadily over the last 10 years. The medical home model embraced by the Center for CYSHCN focuses on care coordination, patient- and family-centered care, and integrated communication tools (such as care plans and medical summaries). The vast majority of CYSHCN treated at the Center d…
Continuing professional education in Eritrea taught by local obstetrics and gynaecology residents
Education and training can improve the quality of health care. We evaluated a course taught by Obstetrics/Gynaecology residents on the work environment and maternal/neonatal outcomes at Orotta Maternity Hospital. Participants were given a Standardised Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) to measure work environment before and after training. Maternal/neonatal outcomes were extracted from hospital logbooks. Neonatal quality indicators were: advers…
Industrial air pollution in rural Kenya
This study avails information to policy makers and researchers concerning public awareness and attitudes towards environmental pollution pertinent to development and implementation of environmental policies for public health
