Influence of participation in decision making regarding sexual and reproductive health on HIV testing among married and cohabiting women in Ghana
Introduction HIV/AIDS remains a significant concern in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where women face heightened vulnerability due to biological, structural, cultural, and socioeconomic factors. HIV testing is central to prevention and control, yet uptake remains suboptimal. This study examined the association between participation in sexual and reproductive health (SRH) decision-making and HIV testing in Ghana.Methods We analyzed cross-sectional dat…
Female Circumcision and Sexual Negotiation Ability of Ethiopian Women
The following study attempts to assess the link between the circumcision status of Ethiopian women and their ability to negotiate sex. From the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey, we analyzed a subsample of 3,445 women aged 15 to 49. Women's sexual negotiation ability was measured by their ability to ask for condom and their ability to refuse sex. We performed a univariate, bivariate, and multiple logistic regression analysis. In the fi…
Awareness of and willingness to use oral HIV self-test kits among Kenyan young adults living in informal urban settlements
Self-administered HIV testing may be a promising strategy to improve testing in hard-to-reach young adults, provided they are aware of and willing to use oral HIV self-testing (HIVST). This study examined awareness of and willingness to use oral HIVST among 350 high-risk young adults, aged 18-22, living in Kenya's informal urban settlements. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to examine differences in HIVST awareness and wi…
Association between premarital HIV testing and ability to negotiate sexual relations among married women in Ethiopia
HIV/AIDS prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa remains an issue of concern and young women are disproportionately affected by the disease. Premarital HIV testing is one of the key strategies used in HIV prevention since heterosexual sex remains the primary mode of HIV transmission in sub-Saharan Africa. This study uses the 2016 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey to examine the association between premarital HIV testing and the ability to negotiate…
Estimating the Economic Values of Restricted Monoculture Eucalyptus Plantations
Today, evaluating ecological wellbeing and ecosystem services is becoming a great concern towards conserving the natural resource base. Healthy functioning ecosystems have fundamental roles for aiding humankind to lead a healthy life and ensure an improved social welfare. Estimating the non-market benefits of ecosystem services can help experts and the public frame policy directions designed for landscape development. The ecosystem of the Eucalyp…
Socioeconomic empowerment and HIV testing among Ethiopian women
HIV testing is a cornerstone for early HIV diagnoses which can improve quality of life, survival, and reduce forward transmission. This study examined socioeconomic determinants of HIV testing among women in Ethiopia using the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey. The sample was collected using stratified cluster sampling design and was selected in two stages. A total of 15,683 women aged 15–49 completed the survey. For this study, only 8…
Ownership and Effectiveness of China’s Aid Projects in Africa
The notion of ‘ownership’ has occupied a central place in measuring the effectiveness of North–South cooperation. How is it represented in South–South cooperation (SSC) and how does it affect the effectiveness of SSC? There is no clear answer in the existing literature. In this article, we describe the representation of ‘ownership’ in SSC and explain how it has affected the process and impact of SSC projects using case studies of three uniformly …
Contract farming, cooperatives and challenges of side selling
This paper presents the experience of malt barley value-chain development through cooperative-based contract farming. The descriptive and qualitative analysis used primary data collected from the actors involved and secondary data. The results indicate that side selling is a major challenge, estimated at about 30%. Promoting the role of cooperatives and avoiding side selling by addressing both farmer- and system-level issues requires considering …
Partner violence and HIV testing uptake among Ethiopian women
Guided by the Anderson Behavioral Model, the researchers in this study examined the association between emotional violence and HIV testing uptake among women, using the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey. Only 3,637 women between the ages of 15 and 49 years were included. In the bivariate analysis, emotional violence, reported by 42.6% of respondents, was associated with prior HIV testing. In the multiple logistic regression model, emot…
The Rapid Expansion of Herbicide Use in Smallholder Agriculture in Ethiopia
Chinese Agricultural Training Courses for African Officials
Each year around 10,000 African officials are trained in China, across a range of themes. Among these, agriculture and development policy are prominent. In this paper we ask what lies behind this program, and how it fits with wider commercial, diplomatic, and geopolitical ambitions of China in Africa. Through work carried out in China, Ethiopia, Ghana, and Zimbabwe, involving attending courses, interviewing participants and lecturers, examining c…
Chinese Migrants in Africa
This paper makes an empirical and ethnographic contribution to the literature on Chinese migrants in Africa by using five case studies to explore their role in the agri-food sector in Ethiopia and Ghana. We find that the realities of Chinese migrants in this sector matches neither popular media stereotypes of empire building and land grabbing, nor Chinese government narratives of South–South cooperation, technology transfer, and agricultural deve…
Commercial behaviours of smallholder farmers in wheat seed use and its implication for demand assessment in Ethiopia
The article presents the commercial behaviour and its determinants of smallholder farmers in wheat seed use, and its implication for seed demand assessment, based on primary data from 524 wheat farmers in the major wheat growing areas covering 22 woredas in 11 zones in the Amhara, Oromiya, SNNP, and Tigray regions of Ethiopia. Although 69% of farmers use improved varieties, the overwhelming majority use seed from informal sources: own saved seed …
Formal institutions and social capital in value chains
Negotiating New Relationships
This article provides an overview of Brazilian and Chinese agricultural development cooperation activities in Ethiopia. Development cooperation is carefully managed and coordinated in Ethiopia, a highly aid-dependent country, in line with the national ‘Growth and Transformation Plan’. The government promotes harmonisation and an alignment process of Western donor support through the Ethiopian High Level Forum. Brazil and China are currently not e…
The Political Economy of Ethiopian Cereal Seed Systems
This article explores the political and economic processes governing Ethiopian cereal seed systems. The nature of the Ethiopian agricultural sector, the historical evolution of the seed system and the seed specificities for each cereal crop have resulted in a wide range of actors with diverse linkages and policy processes. A series of economic and political drivers are identified, including top-down state-driven initiatives; agricultural liberali…
