Operationalising health in the humanitarian–development–peace nexus (HDPN) in Africa
Humanitarian needs are escalating globally, with around 300 million people requiring assistance—over half in Africa. These crises are increasingly driven by conflict, climate-related disasters and emergencies and economic instability, all severely impacting public health and disrupting health systems. A new approach is essential to address root causes of humanitarian crises and develop durable solutions. In response to this need, the WHO develope…
Systems thinking for health emergencies
Process mapping is a systems thinking approach used to understand, analyse and optimise processes within complex systems. We aim to demonstrate how this methodology can be applied during disease outbreaks to strengthen response and health systems. Process mapping exercises were conducted during three unique emerging disease outbreak contexts with different: mode of transmission, size, and health system infrastructure. System functioning improved …
Design thinking during a health emergency
Our study demonstrates the numerous benefits that arise when using a design thinking methodology during an outbreak to solve acute challenges within the national health information system and the authors recommend it's use during future complex outbreaks
Water markets and freshwater ecosystem services
Impact of Targeted Programs on Health Systems
The results of 2 large field studies on the impact of the polio eradication initiative on health systems and 3 supplementary reports were presented at a December 1999 meeting convened by the World Health Organization. All of these studies concluded that positive synergies exist between polio eradication and health systems but that these synergies have not been vigorously exploited. The eradication of polio has probably improved health systems wor…
Price Responsiveness in the Developing Country Nature Tourism Context
Research on user fees recently has increased in the US in response to legislative changes expanding imposition of such fees. Parallel developments have occurred in developing countries, though much of the research has focused on valuation rather than price responsiveness per se. This article reviews estimates of willingness-to-pay, revenue maximizing fees, and price elasticities in developing countries. It then uses actual price and visitation da…
