Community engagement for vaccine delivery in low- and middle-income countries and humanitarian settings
Vaccination is a critical public health intervention in humanitarian and low- and middle-income country (LMIC) settings, where populations face heightened risks of vaccine-preventable diseases. Community Engagement (CE) offers a pathway to address challenges related to local ownership, trust, and acceptance, yet its effectiveness in these contexts remain underexplored. We conducted an umbrella scoping review of published reviews to synthesise evi…
Development, public health, sewage, and frontline workers
This case study of Harar City, eastern Ethiopia, demonstrates that, while Ethiopia’s ambitious post-Millennium Declaration (Goal 7) sanitation agenda has produced both considered policies and a level of implementation, serious challenges remain, particularly regarding policy enforcement. Few data are available on the hazardous exposure levels faced by frontline sanitation workers in Ethiopia but, as we demonstrate, direct contact with untreated f…
Open defecation practice among households with latrines in rural communities of Ararso District, Somali Region, Eastern Ethiopia
Background: Open defecation contributes to the spread of different feco-oral diseases. Therefore, access to a latrine is strongly recommended, as it considerably reduces the risks. Even though provision of latrine facilities alone does not guarantee the desired health benefits, they should be integrated with behavior change. In Ethiopia, efforts have been made to increase the coverage of latrine facilities. However, evidence on how consistently h…
Managing climate change challenges to water security
Climate change poses a threat to water security where both current and future generations are concerned, with its accompanying impacts set to be greater in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). As a result, questions pertaining to climate change adaption in LMICs are receiving increased attention from academics and policymakers alike. It is broadly accepted that top‐down approaches to developing resilience to climate change challenges have be…
Global Covid-19 vaccine acceptance rate
This review revealed the variation in the level of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rate across the world. The study found that the overall prevalence of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance was 64.9%. This finding indicated that even if the COVID-19 vaccine is developed, the issue of accepting or taking the developed vaccine and managing the pandemic may be difficult
Trends and Associated Factors of Under-five Mortality Based on 2008–2016 Data in Kersa Health and Demographic Surveillance Site, Eastern Ethiopia
Background : Of the 6.2 million estimated deaths of children under 15 years of age globally, the death toll of children under 5 years of age accounted for 5.3 million. In Ethiopia, even though significant progress has been made, facility-based research shows that the mortality rate of children under 5 is still high. In the country, particularly in the eastern part, evidence on trends in under-five mortality and associated factors from population-…
Equity in Global North–South research partnerships
This article considers the degree to which achieving equity in Global North–South research partnerships is possible under current UK funding models. While there has been significant discussion with respect to the decolonisation of research, it will be argued that there is some distance between the language of equity articulated currently by UK funding bodies, and the realities of working as a project partner in the Global South. The article draws…
