DHS Further Analysis Reports No. 111
This study is a theory-driven analysis of the socio-demographic determinants of maternal care seeking in Kenya. Specifically, it examines predisposing, enabling, and need factors potentially associated with use of antenatal care (ANC), health facility delive...ry, and timely postnatal care (PNC).
This study uses data from the 2014 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS) conducted among women age 15-49 with a live birth in the five years preceding the survey. It includes data from all 47 counties of Kenya, grouped contiguously into 12 regions. We apply Andersen’s Behavioral Model of Health Services Use to examine socio-demographic predictors of health service use. We estimate logistic regression models for adequate use of ANC (defined as attending at least four ANC visits, starting in the first three months of pregnancy), delivery in a health facility, and PNC within 48 hours of delivery.

Le présent document donne des indications supplémentaires pour un usage responsable et prudent des
antimicrobiens chez les animaux élevés pour l’alimentation humaine. II convient de le lire en conjonction
avec le Code d’usages international recommandé pour le contrôle de l'utilisation de...s médicaments
vétérinaires (CAC/RCP 38-1993). Les objectifs visés sont la réduction au minimum de l'incidence
potentiellement défavorable sur la santé publique de l'usage d'agents antimicrobiens chez les animaux
élevés pour l’alimentation humaine et, en particulier, du développement d'une résistance aux antimicrobiens. II importe également d'assurer l'usage sûr et utile des médicaments vétérinaires antimicrobiens en médecine vétérinaire en en maintenant l'efficacité

A Toolkit for Implementation. Module 2: Facilitator’s guide to the orientation workshop on the IFC framework;
A practical tool for field based humanitarian workers. It provides up-to-date, clear and succint guidance on topics accross the humanitarian sector including references to current, relevant resources and practical tools.
The use of explosive weapons, such as bombs, rockets, and mortar and
artillery shells, in cities, towns and villages and in other populated areas
has devastating humanitarian consequences. Explosive weapons act mainly
through the projection of blast and fragmentation wi...thin an area. Their use,
in populated areas, causes severe suffering to civilians, both in terms of
death and serious injury resulting directly from the explosion, and in terms
of damage to property and public infrastructure, which can indirectly affect
civilian well-being and survival, sometimes for many years after a conflict
has ended. Explosive weapons also leave behind explosive remnants that
pose a threat to populations until those remnants are removed. [...] The study finds that the regulation of explosive weapons under international
law and policy is fragmentary and incoherent.
