Understanding Preservice Teachers’ Practices of Embedding Play-Based Learning and Gender-Responsive Pedagogies During Practicum
This study aims to understand preservice teachers’ practices of play-based learning (PBL) and gender-responsive pedagogies (GRP) during the practicum in their teacher education program. We used a qualitative case study design including interviews and observation with 17 preservice teachers who were taught by teacher educators attending professional development programs on PBL and GRP across four Palestinian universities. We conducted thematic ana…
Modelling gender equity in the classroom
Gender-responsive pedagogies (GRP) are increasingly recognised as an essential factor in promoting gender equity in the classroom across all levels of education. This paper explores successes and challenges of using GRP to support more equitable gender relationships in Palestine, where equality of access to education between boys and girls has already been achieved but gendered dynamics in teaching and learning prevail. Our reflections are ground…
Abolition Feminism and Transitional Justice
Abolition feminism and transitional justice are two bodies of scholarship and practice which have rarely been in direct conversation with each other. This article attempts to bridge that gap by applying an abolitionist analysis to Guatemala’s near 30-year transitional justice process. I focus on the limits of the transitional justice process in Guatemala in addressing the depth of intergenerational harm of historic and ongoing colonialism in a he…
Impact of community-based participatory research on capacity building
Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) is increasingly recognised as a promising approach in health research for fostering participation and improving longterm outcomes. However, limited evidence exists on how specific CBPR processes contribute to sustainable impacts. This study employed a multi-method qualitative design to explore how CBPR processes influenced community capacity building (CCB) in addressing household and ambient air pollu…
Exploring community-based participatory research for household and ambient air pollution projects
Key informants' perspectives identified factors supported by the CBPR model to inform the design and implementation of the CBPR approach. The add-ons to some of the model's factors, such as intra-community dynamics, give value to the informants' knowledge to support community-research partnerships and improve outcomes in HAAP intervention projects. Addressing these factors at the design stage and reporting CBPR evaluation could deepen the underst…
Embodied healing and justice in wounded territories
Cuerpo-territorio (the body-territory) is a concept used by Indigenous feminist activists from Iximulew (Guatemala) to frame their struggles for justice, an end to gendered violence and against extraction in their territories. This paper draws on this concept to explore the legacy of colonial and conflict-related woundings in Guatemala, particularly sexualised and racialised violence. I focus on the primarily Ladinx, urban, largely middle-class p…
What are the mechanisms and contexts by which care groups achieve social and behavioural change in low- and middle-income countries? Group motivation findings from a realist synthesis
Objective: Infant and under-five mortality rates in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) can be reduced by encouraging behaviours such as sleeping under insecticide-treated bed nets, exclusive breast-feeding for the first 6 months, regular handwashing, etc. Community-based volunteer or peer-to-peer mechanisms are cost-effective ways of promoting these lifesaving practices. However, the sustainability and reach of community-based behaviour chan…
‘Challenges in experiential learning during transition to clinical practice
INTRODUCTION: This study explored the reflective writing (RW) of senior medical students across a co-ordinated reflection education programme in General Practice, Paediatrics and Psychiatry clerkships during their transition to clinical clerkships. The study compared RW themes from within and across three clerkships in order to understand the influence clerkships had on experiential learning and developing professional identity. METHODS: All medi…
Barriers and facilitators perceived by women while homeless and pregnant in accessing antenatal and or postnatal healthcare
Evidence indicates that homelessness is increasing within Europe and the United States (US), particularly for women. Pregnancy rates among homeless women are exceptionally high compared to their housed counterparts and homeless women engage poorly with antenatal care. The aim of this review is to explore the barriers and facilitators perceived by homeless women, while pregnant, or within six weeks postpartum in accessing antenatal and/or postnata…

The role of the traditional leader in implementing maternal, newborn and child health policy in Malawi
Traditional leaders play a prominent role at the community level in Malawi, yet limited research has been undertaken on their role in relation to policy implementation. This article seeks to analyse the role of traditional leaders in implementing national maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) policy and programmes at the community level. We consider whether the role of the chief embodies a top-down (utilitarian) or bottom-up (empowerment) app…
The use of technology enhanced learning in health research capacity development
BACKGROUND: With the recognition of the need for research capacity strengthening for advancing health and development, this research capacity article explores the use of technology enhanced learning in the delivery of a collaborative postgraduate blended Master's degree in Malawi. Two research questions are addressed: (i) Can technology enhanced learning be used to develop health research capacity?, and: (ii) How can learning content be designed …
The way the country has been carved up by researchers”
Inequities and power imbalances need to be recognised and addressed in research partnerships. A situated ethics approach is central in understanding this relationship in north-south public health research
“The problem is ours, it is not CRAIDS’ ”. Evaluating sustainability of Community Based Organisations for HIV/Aids in a rural district in Zambia
BACKGROUND: While sustainability of health programmes has been the subject of empirical studies, there is little evidence specifically on the sustainability of Community Based Organisations (CBOs) for HIV/AIDS. Debates around optimal approaches in community health have centred on utilitarian versus empowerment approaches. This paper, using the World Bank Multi-Country AIDS Program (MAP) in Zambia as a case study, seeks to evaluate whether or not …
Best Resources on … The Current Effects of Global Health Initiatives on Country Health Systems
This article outlines ten of the best resources that focus on the current effects of global health initiatives (Global Fund to Fight AIDS Tuberculosis and Malaria PEPFAR MAP GAVI Alliance) on country health systems. It lists and describes the usefulness of the ten resources which include: The Systems-Wide Effects of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS Tuberculosis and Malaria: A Conceptual Framework; Global health initiatives and public health policy; …
National and subnational HIV/Aids coordination
BACKGROUND: A coordinated response to HIV/AIDS remains one of the 'grand challenges' facing policymakers today. Global health initiatives (GHIs) have the potential both to facilitate and exacerbate coordination at the national and subnational level. Evidence of the effects of GHIs on coordination is beginning to emerge but has hitherto been limited to single-country studies and broad-brush reviews. To date, no study has provided a focused synthes…
How HIV/Aids scale-up has impacted on non- HIV priority services in Zambia
The analysis shows scale-up in reproductive health service numbers in the same facilities where HIV services were scaling up. While district childhood immunisations increased overall, this did not necessarily occur in facility catchment areas where HIV service scale-up occurred. The paper demonstrates an approach for comparing correlation trends across different services, using routine health facility information. Larger samples and explanatory s…
The effects of global health initiatives on country health systems
This paper reviews country-level evidence about the impact of global health initiatives (GHIs), which have had profound effects on recipient country health systems in middle and low income countries. We have selected three initiatives that account for an estimated two-thirds of external funding earmarked for HIV/AIDS control in resource-poor countries: the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, the World Bank Multi-country AIDS Program (MAP) …
