Needs assessment for home-based care and the strengthening of social support networks
BACKGROUND: Community care workers (CCWs) in rural South Africa provide medical, personal, household, educational, and social care services to their clients. However, little understanding exists on how provision of services is approached within a household, taking into account available social support networks. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to generate an understanding of the processes that underpin the provision of care by CCWs in rural h…

Urban Planning, Development and Non-communicable Diseases
September 2011 will see heads of state and government from around the world gathering at a United Nations high-level meeting to discuss the problem of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) for the first time. The decision to hold such a meeting demonstrates both that NCDs have finally been recognized as a global health threat and that national leaders are willing to take action to prevent, or at least mitigate, the burden of chronic diseases. In light…
Rights, Knowledge, and Governance for Improved Health Equity in Urban Settings
All three of the interacting aspects of daily urban life (physical environment, social conditions, and the added pressure of climate change) that affect health inequities are nested within the concept of urban governance, which has the task of understanding and managing the interactions among these different factors so that all three can be improved together and coherently. Governance is defined as: "the process of collective decision making and …
Contextualising workers’ health and safety in urban settings
Health reform in El Salvador
Since the 1993 World Bank Report, health reforms based on market criteria and cost effectiveness studies have become popular.1 The models from Chile and Colombia, with their respective variations, were introduced as social experiments.

Democratic governance – fairytale or real perspective? Lessons from Central America
Democratic governance - fairytale or real perspective? Lessons from Central America
This paper examines the concept of democratic local governance and its relevance for health development in Central America, a region which was torn apart by conflict in the 1980s. Peace-building has been taking place since the 1990s in a difficult macro-level context, as stabilization and structural adjustment policies in the postwar period have led to drastic state reforms with high social costs for the marginalized population. Innovative experi…
Urban governance and health development in León, Nicaragua
This paper describes the development of a “healthy municipality” initiative in León, Nicaragua's second largest city, in 1995, and of the innovations in local governance that preceded it - especially the partnerships that local government developed with the university, bilateral agencies and the long-established urban social movement. The healthy municipality initiative helped bind and mobilize support for the already established partnerships set…
