Burden of Shigella and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infections among children under 5 years in Ethiopia, Kenya and Malawi
Diarrhoea remains a major problem among children in low- and middle-income countries, driven by multiple pathogens including rotavirus, Shigella and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). Rotavirus vaccines have notably reduced diarrhoea deaths. However, the health consequences associated with Shigella and ETEC, along with rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR), have prompted the WHO to prioritise vaccine development against these two pathogens.…
Caregiver dynamics and factors affecting health-seeking behaviors for childhood diarrhea in Mukuru informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya
Background Diarrheal disease is the third leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children under 5 years globally. Approximately 1.7 billion diarrheal cases are reported annually resulting in more than 400,000 deaths in children under five. Sub-Saharan Africa still harbors populations with the highest global mortality rates for diarrhea accounting for approximately 60% of all diarrheal deaths in this age group. In Kenya, diarrhea significantl…
Evidence needs and community involvement in policy decisions for vaccine-preventable diarrhoeal infections among children under the age of five years
Diarrhoeal diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children under five years in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with Shigella and Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), both targets of ongoing vaccine development, playing major roles. To inform the introduction of vaccines against these pathogens in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Malawi, we assessed evidence needs for technical policy decisions and community engagement in n…
Pathways of exposure to Vibrio Cholerae in an urban informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya
Cholera is a diarrhoeal disease caused by Vibrio cholerae ( V . cholerae ) bacterium, with strains belonging to serogroups 01 and 0139 causing a huge proportion of the disease. V . cholerae can contaminate drinking water sources and food through poor sanitation and hygiene. This study aimed to identify environmental routes of exposure to V . cholerae within Mukuru informal settlement in Nairobi. We collected nine types of environmental samples (d…
Working conditions and public health risks in slaughterhouses in western Kenya
The current working conditions in slaughterhouses in western Kenya are not in line with the recommendations of the Meat Control Act of Kenya. Current facilities and practices may increase occupational exposure to disease or injury and contaminated meat may enter the consumer market. The findings of this study could enable the development of appropriate interventions to minimise public health risks. Initially, improvements need to be made to facil…
Antibiotic resistance—the need for global solutions
Public administration and service delivery reforms
This paper is an analysis of South Africa's public service improvement strategies since 1994. It first describes the historical factors that underpinned South Africa's service delivery initiatives before 1994. It is argued that the pre-1994 public service sector was racialised and highly politicised, as opposed to being people-centred and service delivery oriented. The transition to democracy in 1994 necessitated a complete revision of South Afri…
Political compromise on land reform
The fact that both South Africa and Namibia achieved democratic rule through a process of negotiation, rather than revolution, has had implications for the land reform programmes being implemented by both countries. The author suggests that land hunger has not been addressed and that while compromise on the issue has enabled political stability to date, this may not last
Globalization and Africa's Regional and Local Responses
As a response to globalization, the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) is indicative of a new awareness among African leaders that they must respond in ways that create empowering opportunities for African societies to benefit from, rather than be victims of, globalization. Following a review of Africa's responses to previous epochs of globalization, we examine the relevance of leadership given the dismal record of past development …
Can negotiated land reforms deliver? The case of Kenya, South Africa and Zimbabwe
A look at the effect compromises reached at the negotiating table have had on the land reform programmes of three African countries
