Adherence to Covid-19 preventive measures in Sub-Saharan Africa during the 1st year of the pandemic
Introduction While most governments instituted several interventions to stall the spread of COVID-19, little is known regarding the continued observance of the non-pharmaceutical COVID-19 preventive measures particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). We investigated adherence to these preventive measures during the initial 6 months of the COVID-19 outbreak in some SSA countries. Methods Between March and August 2020, the International Citizen Proj…
The first and second waves of the Covid-19 pandemic in Africa
Covid-19 Preventive Behaviours in Cameroon
Since March 2020, the Cameroonian government implemented nationwide measures to stall COVID-19 transmission. However, little is known about how well these unprecedented measures are being observed as the pandemic evolves. We conducted a six-month online survey to assess the preventive behaviour of Cameroonian adults during the COVID-19 outbreak. A five-point adherence score was constructed based on self-reported observance of the following preven…
Religious Consciousness in Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness and James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
The paper examines religious consciousness in the modernist novels of Joseph Conrad’s 1902 Heart of Darkness and James Joyce’s 1916 A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man with the objective of illustrating that though these writers apparently rejected the Catholic faith, they were still spiritually conscious and were thus able to detect and question religious values that were repressive. This consciousness is enriched by autobiographical element…
Forests and ecocultural disequilibrium in two postcolonial novels from Cameroon and Singapore
Forests have always had a very special resonance with humans, one which is evidenced in the ways they are depicted in literatures and art throughout human civilization. This study attempts to look at the ways in which two contemporary authors, one Cameroonian and the other Singaporean, depict the forest in their novels. In both Linus Asong’s Crown of Thorns and Meira Chand’s A Different Sky, the nature/culture binary is shown as primal. Both narr…
Interrogating the union
Anglophone Cameroon poetry deals with a peculiar postcolonial political situation in Africa, in which two peoples of opposing colonial experiences were brought together to form a nation. Focusing primarily on the poetry of Bate Besong and John Ngong Kum Ngong, the essay interrogates the rationale for the union by examining the Anglophone Cameroon poets' portrayal of the “Anglophone problem”. The problem is defined in terms of the marginalization,…
Strengthening public health surveillance and response using the health systems strengthening agenda in developing countries
There is increased interest in strengthening health systems for developing countries. However, at present, there is common uncertainty about how to accomplish this task. Specifically, several nations are faced with an immense challenge of revamping an entire system. To accomplish this, it is essential to first identify the components of the system that require modification. The World Health Organization (WHO) has proposed health system building b…
