Co-creating community-driven solutions and policy priorities to address antimicrobial resistance through Responsive Dialogues
Inappropriate antibiotics use due to low public knowledge and awareness contributes to the growing Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) burden, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The aim of Responsive Dialogues (RDs) is to engage communities and key stakeholders to share information, galvanize action and create local solutions to reduce the burden of AMR. RDs promote collaborative problem-solving and have been identified as a poten…
‘Responsive Dialogues’, an engagement framework for antimicrobial resistance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health crisis requiring multisectoral responses that extend beyond biomedical interventions. Participatory approaches can ensure that policies and practices reflect community realities, yet evidence from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remains limited. To examine how the Responsive Dialogues (RD) framework was implemented in Malawi and Thailand, and to identify lessons on adapting participatory …
Antibiotic Arrivals in Africa
The mass production of antibiotics in the 1940s enabled their travel beyond Europe and America, but to date the significance of the ways in which these medicines co-constituted colonial regimes at the time has not been systematically described. Through a case study of yaws and syphilis, this research article traces arrivals of antibiotics in three countries of Eastern Africa-Malawi, Zimbabwe, and Uganda. We draw attention to the emergent roles of…
Exploring the complexity of microfinance and HIV in fishing communities on the shores of Lake Malawi
This study utilised qualitative research methodology to explore female fish traders’ experiences of accessing microfinance in fishing communities in southern Malawi. Microfinance is a tool that has been used to alleviate poverty. People living in fishing communities in the Global South are at an increased risk of HIV and, equally, microfinance has been identified as a tool to prevent HIV. The authors' research found consistent testimonies of over…
Factors Shaping Initial Decision-Making to Self-test Amongst Cohabiting Couples in Urban Blantyre, Malawi
In sub-Saharan Africa, most new HIV infections occur in stable relationships, making couples testing an important intervention for HIV prevention. We explored factors shaping the decision-making of cohabiting couples who opted to self-test in Blantyre, Malawi. Thirty-four self-tested participants (17 couples) were interviewed. Motivators for HIV self-testing (HIVST) emerged at three main levels. Individual motivations included perceived benefits …
