This paper, originally presented as a Sussex Development Lecture, asks how the Ebola crisis might offer a lens to reflect on interlaced challenges around curbing inequalities, accelerating sustainability, and building inclusive, secure societies, and why these matter so much. And it discusses why ad...dressing these interactions must become central to a renewed vision of development for all

Although children and adolescents are not likely to become seriously ill with COVID-19, they are nevertheless massi...vely affected by the pandemic. Instead of playing outside, going to school, participating in sports and meeting friends, many are now trapped in confined spaces with their parents all day long. On top of that, they are worried about family, friends and themselves. Among those children stuck at home are Amina, Oliver, Tara and Akachi.

This  national  guideline  is  expected  to  guide  policy  makers  and  h...ealth professionals  at  all  level.  A  standardized  approaches  to  will  assist  effective  and  efficient utilization  of  the  limited  resource  of  the  country,  minimizes  dilemma  and  confusion  on  case management. To this effect, the FMOH has established National COVID-19 advisory committee. The  committee  members  are  from  different  specialties  with  very  good  experiences  in  disaster management  and  prevention  and  treatment  of  infectious  disease  epidemics.  The  input  from  the committee  is used to make decisions at the national  level about theepidemics  in the weeks and months  to  come.  The  FMOH  would  like  to  acknowledge  the  members  of  the  national  advisory committee  for  their  commitment  and  unreserved  effort  in  finalizing  the  task  in  a  very  short period of time and advising the Ministry on various issues related to the epidemics at this critical time.

Areas in focus include mental health, overweight/obesity and adolescent risk-taking behaviour.
The report ...shows, for example, that:
-    mental health remains a neglected subject – only one quarter of countries are collecting data on the number of children treated by a mental health professional;
   - half of countries do not regulate the marketing of food to children, despite the fact that childhood obesity rates are high across the Region and physical activity rates are low;
  -  almost half of countries have no policy that affects the availability of unhealthy foods at school;
  -  2 in 5 girls and 1 in 3 boys who are having sex do not protect themselves; and
    one third of countries do not offer legal access to contraception without parental consent for those under 18 years of age.

The statistics reveal that children expe...rience violence across all stages of childhood, in diverse settings, and often at the hands of the trusted individuals with whom they interact daily. The report concludes with specific national actions and strategies that UNICEF has embraced to prevent and respond to violence against children.
