“Crises are a perpetual restart”—A comparative analysis of maternal and newborn health political prioritization across four fragile and conflict affected settings
Fragile settings account for the highest burden of maternal and neonatal mortality in the world. Although policies and strategies for intervention exist, there are gaps on political prioritization of maternal and newborn health (MNH) by key actors to maximize resources and impact of programs. This study offers a comparative analysis of MNH political prioritization across four fragile national and sub-national settings, and recommendations for imp…
Ensuring Data Quality in Large International Development Projects
The success of development projects and evaluations hinges on having access to research protocols and methodologies that consider the needs and characteristics of stakeholders, subjects, and context while remaining rigorous and culturally sound. These efforts are often complicated by a dearth of tools that have been tested for validity and reliability in communities of interest and data collection environments that necessitate reliance on interna…
Understanding the factors affecting the humanitarian health and nutrition response for women and children in Somalia since 2000
Emerging recommendations include further exploration of government partnerships with private-sector service providers to make services available throughout Somalia free of charge, with further research on innovative uses of technology to help reaches remote and inaccessible areas. To mitigate chronic skilled health worker shortages, more operational research is needed on the expanded use of community health workers. Persistent gaps in service pro…
Researching the delivery of health and nutrition interventions for women and children in the context of armed conflict
Strong local partners are essential to the success of any project, contributing not only technical and methodological capacity but also the insight needed to truly understand and interpret local dynamics for the wider study team and to navigate those dynamics to ensure study rigour and relevance. Maintaining realistic expectations of data that are typically available in conflict settings is also essential, while pushing for more resources and fur…
Health Status and Health Care Needs of Drought-Related Migrants in the Horn of Africa—A Qualitative Investigation
Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia, situated in the Horn of Africa, are highly vulnerable to climate change, which manifests itself through increasing temperatures, erratic rains and prolonged droughts. Millions of people have to flee from droughts or floods either as cross-border refugees or as internally displaced persons (IDPs). The aim of this study was to identify knowledge status and gaps regarding public health consequences of large-scale displac…
Rebuilding research capacity in fragile states
This paper presents an initiative to revive the previous Somali-Swedish Research Cooperation, which started in 1981 and was cut short by the civil war in Somalia. A programme focusing on research capacity building in the health sector is currently underway through the work of an alliance of three partner groups: six new Somali universities, five Swedish universities, and Somali diaspora professionals. Somali ownership is key to the sustainability…
