I am not only beneficial to the community but to the entire country, I am trained as a researcher now’: Developing health research skills in low-income countries
Partnerships between Higher Education Institutions in the global South and North have potential for building capacity in public health research in low-resource countries. We present experiences of partners involved in a North-South-South partnership between universities in Norway, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and South Africa. The partnership aimed to establish a postgraduate programme in nutritional epidemiology at the University of Ki…

Determinants of childhood stunting in the Democratic Republic of Congo: Further analysis of Demographic and Health Survey 2013–14
Child stunting is widespread in the DRC and increasing prevalence is worrisome. This study has identified modifiable factors determining high prevalence of stunting in the DRC. Policy implementation should in particular target provinces with high prevalence of stunting and address modifiable determinants such as reducing socioeconomic disparity. Nutrition promotion intervention, including early initiation of breastfeeding should be an immediate p…
The social context of severe child malnutrition: A qualitative household case study from a rural area of the Democratic Republic of Congo
Households that participated in inter-household cooperation were able to improve food and nutrition security. Children living in households with high pressure on productive members were at danger of food insecurity and malnutrition. Nutrition interventions need to involve local institutions for inter-household cooperation and address the problem of social inequalities in service provision. They should have special focus on households with few res…
Child Labour in West Africa: Different Work – Different Vulnerabilities
Based on data from four different surveys – street children in Accra, Ghana; street children in Bamako, Mali; children and youth in alluvial‐diamond production in Kono district, Sierra Leone; and war‐affected children in Voinjama district, Liberia – this article analyzes how children and youth seek to use different economic strategies to shape their lives. In each of these cases, child labour is a consequence of poverty, steep school fees and the…
Getting in, getting out: Militia membership and prospects for re-integration in post-war Liberia
Liberian ex-combatants are generally seen as uprooted urban youths with a history of unemployment, underemployment and idleness. The data that form the basis of this article suggest another picture. What caused the Liberian youth to fight were mainly security concerns, suggesting that the effects of 'idleness' and 'unemployment' are overstated with regards to people joining armed groups. They went to school, worked and lived with parents or close…
Validation of a quantitative food-frequency questionnaire for use in Western Mali
Objective: The purpose of this study was to validate a quantitative food-frequency questionnaire (QFFQ) created for assessing the usual intake of foods and nutrients in the prevailing season in Western Mali. Design: Intake of foods and nutrients over the week preceding the interview was measured with a 69-item QFFQ. Intakes were compared with intakes as measured with 2-day combined weighed and recalled diet records. Setting: A rural village in We…
Food variety, socioeconomic status and nutritional status in urban and rural areas in Koutiala (Mali)
Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyse the associations between the food variety score (FVS), dietary diversity score (DDS) and nutritional status of children, and to assess the associations between FVS, DDS and socioeconomic status (SES) on a household level. The study also assessed urban and rural differences in FVS and DDS. Design: Cross-sectional studies in 1994/95, including a simplified food frequency questionnaire on food item…
