Climate change, livelihoods, gender and violence in Rukiga, Uganda
Climate change disproportionately affects poorer countries like Uganda, intensifying poverty and livelihood stress, which can escalate gender-based violence (GBV). Although the parent study was not designed to focus on GBV, GBV emerged repeatedly during interviews and focus groups; this paper presents a GBV-focused thematic analysis of those narratives. Particularly, we examine how GBV interconnects with poverty, shifting gender roles, alcoholism…
Examining the militarised hierarchy of Sierra Leone’s Ebola response and implications for decision making during public health emergencies
BACKGROUND: In September, 2014, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) called for militarised assistance in response to the rapidly escalating West Africa Ebola Epidemic. Soon after, the United Kingdom deployed its military to Sierra Leone, which (among other contributions) helped to support the establishment of novel and military-led Ebola Virus Disease (Ebola) response centres throughout the country. To examine these civil-military structures and their…
Covid-19 in Africa
Medical staff caring for COVID-19 patients face mental stress, physical exhaustion, separation from families, stigma, and the pain of losing patients and colleagues. Many of them have acquired SARS-CoV-2 and some have died. In Africa, where the pandemic is escalating, there are major gaps in response capacity, especially in human resources and protective equipment. We examine these challenges and propose interventions to protect healthcare worker…
Donor-driven harmonised payment of allowances policy and NGOs' community engagement in Malawi
NGOs are recognised as key players in international development, yet recent studies have highlighted the complex problem of per diem allowances in the sector. In Malawi, donors responded and developed harmonised guidelines on payment of allowances. This study explored NGOs’ responses to these harmonised guidelines and provides new insights. The findings show that the case study NGO dealt with multiple stakeholders’ expectations and demands. Donor…
Five hundred years of medicine gone to waste”? Negotiating the implementation of an intercultural health policy in the Ecuadorian Andes
Although contentious, intercultural health policies such as the VB policy have the potential to improve maternity services and access for indigenous women. Evidence-base medicine should be used as a lever to facilitate the dialogue between healthcare workers and TBAs and to promote best practice and patient safety. Actors' values influenced policy implementation; policy implementation resulted from an ongoing negotiation between healthcare worker…
Community health volunteers could help improve access to and use of essential health services by communities in LMICs
A number of primary studies and systematic reviews focused on the contribution of community health workers (CHWs) in the delivery of essential health services. In many countries, a cadre of informal health workers also provide services on a volunteer basis [community health volunteers (CHV)], but there has been no synthesis of studies investigating their role and potential contribution across a range of health conditions; most existing studies ar…
Towards an understanding of resilience
The recent outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in West Africa has drawn attention to the role and responsiveness of health systems in the face of shock. It brought into sharp focus the idea that health systems need not only to be stronger but also more 'resilient'. In this article, we argue that responding to shocks is an important aspect of resilience, examining the health system behaviour in the face of four types of contemporary shocks: the …
The emergence of the vertical birth in Ecuador
Maternal mortality continues to claim the lives of thousands of women in Latin America despite the availability of effective treatments to avert maternal death. In the past, efforts to acknowledge cultural diversity in birth practices had not been clearly integrated into policy. However, in Otavalo (Ecuador) a local hospital pioneered the implementation of the 'Vertical Birth'-a practical manifestation of an intercultural health policy aimed at i…
Does integration of HIV and sexual and reproductive health services improve technical efficiency in Kenya and Swaziland? An application of a two-stage semi parametric approach incorporating quality me…
Theoretically, integration of vertically organized services is seen as an important approach to improving the efficiency of health service delivery. However, there is a dearth of evidence on the effect of integration on the technical efficiency of health service delivery. Furthermore, where technical efficiency has been assessed, there have been few attempts to incorporate quality measures within efficiency measurement models particularly in sub-…

Population, sexual and reproductive health, rights and sustainable development
This article suggests that sexual and reproductive health and rights activists seeking to influence the post-2015 international development paradigm must work with sustainable development advocates concerned with a range of issues, including climate change, environmental issues, and food and water security, and that a way of building bridges with these communities is to demonstrate how sexual and reproductive health and rights are relevant for th…

Attitudes des professionnels de santé à l'égard de la contraception d'urgence au Ghana et au Burkina Faso
Les études sur les attitudes et les pratiques des professionnels de santé en Afrique subsaharienne à l'égard de la contraception d'urgence sont rares. De telles données peuvent aider à guider l'élaboration des programmes contraceptifs dans ces pays. Trente et un entretiens semi-directifs ont été réalisés auprès d'un échantillon ad hoc de professionnels de la santé reproductive au Ghana et au Burkina Faso, lors de l'enquête Emergency Contraception…
Balancing Protection and Pragmatism
In the classic understanding of human rights obligations, the state is considered the primary duty-bearer. Governments, however, are increasingly handing over their function of delivering health services to NGOs. This article argues that because of these new and increasing responsibilities, NGOs should also be seen as duty-bearers required to uphold rights through their services, activities, and principles of operation. Translating human rights n…
Integrating MCH/FP and STD/HIV services
The issue of integrating MCH/FP and STD/HIV services has gained an increasingly high priority on public health agendas in recent years. In the prevailing climate of health sector reform, policy-makers are likely to be increasingly pressed to address the broader concept of "reproductive health' in the terms consolidated at the Cairo International Conference on Population and Development, and the UN Conference on Women in Beijing. Integrated MCH/FP…
