APPLYING SYSTEMS THINKING TOOL...S TO STRENGTHEN HEALTH SYSTEM ACCOUNTABILITY TO MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS IN GUATEMALA

Applying systems thinking tool...s to strengthen health system accountability to marginalized populations in Guatemala
more
|
Our objective is to develop ca...pacities in rigorous systems thinking methodologies to address the complex problem of strengthening the accountability of health systems to marginalized populations. Appreciation of the complex and dynamic nature of health systems has become increasingly common language in publications focused on identifying solutions to improve the population's health more equitably and efficiently. Systems thinking approaches are recognized as a valuable tool for strengthening health systems in low and middle income countries, however, capacity and support for conducting such research is missing. This collaboration will contribute to: 1) Application of systems thinking research to strengthen an accountability intervention in the Guatemalan health system, 2) Building the methodological competence of Guatemalan researchers will present, and 3.) Providing an opportunity for Swedish researchers to further develop expertise in methods for complexity. This project was conceived based in the partners' shared interest in using research as a tool to promote equity and the right to health for disadvantaged populations. Mutual development of competencies in systems thinking tools and their application in complex accountability processes will provide the foundation for an enriching long-term research partnership.

Support to the African Populat...ion and Health Research Center (APHRC) special program the Consortium for Advance Research Training in Africa (CARTA).The African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) is a leading pan-Africanresearch institution headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya with the mission to be a global center ofexcellence, generating and delivering relevant scientific evidence for policy and action onpopulation, health, education, and urbanization in Africa. To develop the next generation of globally-competitive African scholars APHRC leads the Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa (CARTA), which was established in 2008. Since then CARTA has become a viable platform to build an African academy poised to lead world-class, multidisciplinary research to improve public and population health. CARTA operates on a mutually reinforcing two-pronged strategy to develop individual research capacity and leadership while concurrently transforming institutional research cultures and organizational systems within which CARTA fellows operate. This approach creates the much-needed conducive environments to retain active researchers at African universities who, themselves, can support further capacity development for research and lead institutional change.

ICDDR,B exit 2017-2019 - icddr...,b core support
more
|
Exit support to icddr,b 2017-2...018. During the exit phase Sweden will provide SEK 21 400 000 over the period 2017 - 2019 to support icddr,b in the implementation of the Strategic Plan 2015 - 2018. Sweden has been providing research and core support to icddr,b since 1981 with the aim to ensure that research in health addressed key policy issues for health system in Bangladesh, and that the research findings were communicated to policy users and influenced policy decisions. This objective remains at the core of the Swedish funding during the suggested agreement phase.Core support is suggested as the continued financing modality and it is also suggested to phase out the core support during the 2-year agreement period 2017-2019. Research funding from Sida HQ will continue through an specific agreement for the period 2016-2020 on the amount of MSEK 30,5. icddr,b has demonstrated the ability to control its own development and preparedness to invest core funds particularly in neglected areas in order to build future capacity. In the coming three years, ambitious efforts are planned to strengthen the capacity of icddr,b with improved monitoring, evaluation and reporting structures and processes as key targets.Achievements in the strategic objectives will be assessed against icddr,b's framework for results that will track output and outcome indicators to monitor progress. Fiduciary risks have been assessed as high but the internal systems related to financial management have been strengthened during the last years and icddr,b has made rapid progress towards reducing these risks. Through its participation in the Core Donor Group, Sweden together with Canada (Global Affairs) and the United Kingdom (Department for International Development - DfID) will ensure that the risks in the programme are carefully monitored and managed. An external evaluation will be conducted at the end of the agreement to assess the overall success of the programme. The budget for the evaluation has been allocated and is earmarked in the contribution budget.

DEVELOPMENT OF ORAL EFLORNITHI...NE FOR LATE-STAGE AFRICAN SLEEPING SICKNESS

Development of oral eflornithi...ne for late-stage African sleeping sickness
more
|
Eflornithine is one of only th...ree main-stay drugs registered for the treatment of late-stage human African trypanosomiasis, a uniformly fatal disease if left untreated. Eflornithine is currently recommended as a first line treatment, but due to its complicated intravenous administration, numerous patients are left untreated. A simplified mode of administration would enable more patients having access to treatment. Eflornithine is available as a racemate, a 50:50 mixture of its complementary stereoisomers. L-eflornithine is about 10-20-fold more potent but its absorption after oral dose is less favoured compared with D-eflornithine. The project will explore by non-clinical in vitro, in vivo and pharmacometric methods, a simplified, oral treatment alternative for eflornithine chemotherapy in late-stage T.b. gambiense sleeping sickness by seeking ways to improve the oral absorption of L-eflornithine.

OUTDOOR AND HOUSEHOLD AIR POLL...UTION-EXPOSURE AND EFFECTS ON PREGNANT WOMEN IN AFRICA

|
Outdoor and household air poll...ution-exposure and effects on pregnant women in Africa
more
|
In 2012, one in eight deaths w...orldwide resulted from air pollution. For Africa lack of data is a barrier to estimate effects. Satellite images indicate detrimental levels, but monitoring and high resolution outdoor air pollution modelling is lacking. Household air pollution is also a major source of exposure, more knowledge on how different cook stoves, fuels and habits affect exposure is crucial. No high quality study of the effect of outdoor and indoor air pollution on pregnant women in Africa has so far been conducted. We will investigate consequences of air pollution in a prospective cohort of women recruited during pregnancy at public health facilities in Ethiopia. Outdoor air pollution will be assessed by high quality modelling which combines measurements with Geographical Information System tools and aerial and topographical imaging. Individual exposure will be linked to the model by residential address. Indoor exposure will be assessed by questionnaires and validated by measurements. Emission factors from different fuels and cooking methods, and particle characteristics will be assessed in our Aerosol Lab in Lund. Data on pregnancy outcomes, exposures and confounders will be compiled and epidemiological studies on the effect of outdoor and household air pollution on pregnancy complications will be done. This study, which will increase knowledge of not only health impact but also of source characteristics, will provide important knowledge for appropriate policy making.

INDUCING NOVEL RESISTANCE IN W...HEAT TOWARDS STEM RUST (UG99) - FOR IMPROVED FOOD SECURITY IN EAST AFRICA, MIDDLE EAST AND CENTRAL ASIA

|
Inducing novel resistance in w...heat towards stem rust (Ug99) - for improved food security in East Africa, Middle East and Central Asia
more
|
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) i...s one of the world's most important food crops providing 20 percent of all calories and protein to the human population. Emerging new races of the wheat stem rust pathogen (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) threaten wheat production primarily in East Africa, Middle East and Central Asia, but also the globally. Stem rust disease outbreaks in sensitive wheat may result in 100% reduction in yield, thus severely threaten food security. We have recently discovered and described a wheat-rye substitution line, 'SLU238', possessing a novel gene towards these emerging new races of the stem rust pathogen. We have transferred this novel gene (Sr59) to a Chinese Spring (CS) ph1b mutant wheat background through application of the breakage-fusion mechanism. Simultaneously, we also developed Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (KASP) markers that can differentiate the presence of this specific gene, thereby being useful in practical plant breeding. Still, our discovery of the Sr59 gene does not contribute to food security as the gene has not yet been transferred to locally adapted wheat material. Our aim with this proposal is to 1) transfer the Sr59 resistance gene into adapted wheat genotypes, 2) secure agronomic and quality performance of these genotypes, and 3) transfer this new wheat into local systems of genotype improvements and variety spreading to farmers within the different regions that this proposal target (East Africa, Middle East and Central Asia).

In connection with the STI For...um in New York, 15-16 May 2017, a Side Event' was organized. It was a seminar presenting the experiencies of Sida's support to research cooperation with Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda. The seminar presented also how the results from the research project within this cooperation, in particular between the Karolinska Institute and Makerere, has influenced the understanding of fever diseases in children, how new ways of treating and mediate treatment have developed and how this has affected international policies in the area. The title of the seminar was 'How 7 PhDs Changed Uganda och World Health Policies'. Två forskare från Uganda som deltagit i projekten i olika led medverkar vid seminariet, för att dels redogöra för hur Sidas stöd bidragit till att stärka forskningskapacitet allmänt i Uganda och inom hälsoområdet, dels redovisa några av de viktigaste konkreta forskningsresultaten. Insatsen avser kostnader i samband med dessa deltagares medverkan i New York.

WHO Research support 2016-2019... - AHPSR
more
|
The proposed intervention is p...rogramme support for the period 2016 - 2019 to three research programmes hosted by the World Health Organisation (WHO): i) Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research, AHPSR or the Alliance ; ii) The UNDP-UNFPA-UNICEF-WHO-World Bank Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction, HRP; and iii) The UNICEF-UNDP-World Bank-WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases, TDR. The proposed support is an extension of the ongoing Agreement 2016-2017. The reason for not preparing a new agreement is that the framework agreement between Sweden/Sida and WHO lasts until 2019. The total contribution 2016-2019 is 407,2 million SEK, including 199 million SEK for the biennium 2018 - 2019. The Sida support is mainly disbursed as programme support and is therefore of particular importance to the programmes as this enables them to develop their programmes to address emerging research needs and types of support. The share of undesignated support of the total budget from all funders to the programmes were for AHPSR 78% (2015), for HRP 60% (2014) and for TDR 81% (2014). Sida's contribution during the proposed agreement period is estimated to 23% of AHPSR's overall budget, approx. 11% of the HRP's ditto, respectively 27% of TDR's ditto. Sida has extensive experience, since the mid-1970s of support to WHO for research carried out either by special research programmes or as separate research projects. Experience shows that the WHO has the ability to engage leading researchers for poverty related health issues and that the stand-alone research programmes are able to adapt to changes in the research environment and take leading role in the global research agenda. Experience has also shown that the research results produced in the programs are spread globally as a result of the WHO normative mandate. The overall assessment is that the three programmes over time have proven results in line with targets. For the biennium 2016-2017 some of the results reported are summarized below: Selected results HRP 2016-2017:1) HRP developed new updated recommendations on the use of contraceptives and fertility care asssesment guide that was piloted in Sudan and Zambia. 2) HRP concluded a study showing that the contraceptive implant (ENG implant), currently approved for up to three years of use, can be effective for up to five years. The extended use period of the ENG implant can improve protection from inadvertent pregnancy for users and reduce costs and save resources for health systems.3) HRP supported the development of a new tool for a standardized system for the classification of dead born infants and neonatal deaths. Pilot collection was completed for Nigeria and Uganda.4) HRP developed a new guide: Pregnancy management in conjunction with Zika virus infection that recommends measures to prevent and manage Zika virus infection.5) Inititated randomized control trial to determine bes

Sida's contribution during the proposed agreement period is estimated to 23% of AHPSR's overall budget, approx. 11% of the HRP's ditto, respectively 27% of TDR's ditto. Sida has extensive experience, since the mid-1970s of support to WHO for research carried out either by special research programmes or as separate research projects. Experience shows that the WHO has the ability to engage leading researchers for poverty related health issues and that the stand-alone research programmes are able to adapt to changes in the research environment and take leading role in the global research agenda. Experience has also shown that the research results produced in the programs are spread globally as a result of the WHO normative mandate. The overall assessment is that the three programmes over time have proven results in line with targets. For the biennium 2016-2017 some of the results reported are summarized below: Selected results HRP 2016-2017:1) HRP developed new updated recommendations on the use of contraceptives and fertility care asssesment guide that was piloted in Sudan and Zambia. 2) HRP concluded a study showing that the contraceptive implant (ENG implant), currently approved for up to three years of use, can be effective for up to five years. The extended use period of the ENG implant can improve protection from inadvertent pregnancy for users and reduce costs and save resources for health systems.3) HRP supported the development of a new tool for a standardized system for the classification of dead born infants and neonatal deaths. Pilot collection was completed for Nigeria and Uganda.4) HRP developed a new guide: Pregnancy management in conjunction with Zika virus infection that recommends measures to prevent and manage Zika virus infection.5) Inititated randomized control trial to determine best pain

The resilience and sustainabil...ity of soil microbial functions to climate change induced-drought in Ethiopia
more
|
Climate change will cause extr...eme fluctuations in precipitation and temperatures generating intense droughtand rainfall events. This will affect the functioning of most ecosystems, but the most severely affected includethe world's poorest and food security challenged nations, including Ethiopia. Microorganisms controldecomposition of organic matter (OM), and dominate the terrestrial contribution to the global carbon (C)cycle. Water availability is a decisive regulator of microbial processes, but they also depend on C-availability,creating a strong feedback with plants.We will investigate how microbial processes are influenced by changes in water availability across a gradientfrom cool moist to hot arid Ecosystems in Ethiopia. We will evaluate the effect of different land-uses and fieldexperimental drought on the resilience of microbial functions. Insights will be included in ecosystem models,and used to guide land-use policy in Ethiopia. The aims are:1. Defining the microbial moisture dependence, and the resilience of the microbial functions to rewetting a soil.2. Determining both long-term (gradient across Ethiopia) and short-term (within site field-experiments) legacyeffects of drought and dry-wet cycles on 1.3. Disentangling the relative influence of the soil microbial community and land-use on 1.4. Distinguishing how land-use, restoration of degraded soils, and plant material additions can affect the microbialresilience to drought and variable moisture.

Chronic kidney of unknown etio...logy in Central America and Asia - is it the same disease?
more
|
The general aim of this resear...ch links project is to enforce knowledge-based prevention, diagnostic and treatment of chronic kidney disease of yet unknown origin (CKDu) in Central America, Sri Lanka and India. This will be achieved by creating a network of researchers, nephrologists and pathologists in the different regions enabling the implementation of a comparative study of detailed described cohorts with emphasis on the renal morphology, biochemical findings and clinical data. Two detailed cohorts are already available from Central America and a third study in Sri Lanka will be initiated this year. A fourth study will be planned and executed during the study period. The findings will be presented and discussed at a joint workshop where a diagnostic scheme for evaluating renal biopsies from affected patients will be developed. A summarizing workshop will be held to evaluate the diagnostic scheme and plan for further collaborations. Results will be compiled in joint scientific publications. The outcome will have significant impact of the research field of chronic kidney disease of unknown cause, an emerging health problem worldwide. Furthermore, this study will strengthen the local capacity among nephrologists and pathologists to evaluate patients with chronic kidney disease of unknown cause and also create a platform for further studies on the endemics.

INVESTIGATING THE DRIVING FORC...ES AND SPREAD OF ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE: THE CASE OF MARINE AQUACULTURE IN ASIA AND SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA

|
Investigating the driving forc...es and spread of antibiotic resistance: the case of marine aquaculture in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa
more
|
The use of antibiotics in aqua...culture is a hazard associated with the development and spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) in marine environments. Bacteria are carriers of ARGs and associated with planktonic organisms, and studies of plankton and oceanic circulation may provide new insight into the spread of resistance. However, to establish fair and effective governance of antibiotic use, especially in developing countries where aquaculture production is an important source of livelihood and revenue, it is also necessary to know the driving forces behind the usage. Our aim is to produce a synthesis, based on biophysical and socioeconomic factors, for policy recommendations for Asia and East Africa. The synthesis will be based on empirical results and we will address where and on which level remedies to prevent antibiotic resistance spread are most effective. More specifically, we will investigate the local economic role of, and need for antibiotics and produce a cost-benefit analysis. We will map the flow of antibiotics from production to use in order to identify points in the value chain where restrictions would be fair and effective. Further, we will use metagenomics to identify genetic fingerprints of the ARG pool from four aquaculture sites. The spread of specific ARG patterns are hypothesised to be linked to the dispersal of phytoplankton and will be projected by oceanographic connectivity models and verified with repeated sampling at different geographic scales.

INDUCING NOVEL RESISTANCE IN W...HEAT TOWARDS STEM RUST (UG99) - FOR IMPROVED FOOD SECURITY IN EAST AFRICA, MIDDLE EAST AND CENTRAL ASIA

Inducing novel resistance in w...heat towards stem rust (Ug99) - for improved food security in East Africa, Middle East and Central Asia
more
|
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) i...s one of the world's most important food crops providing 20 percent of all calories and protein to the human population. Emerging new races of the wheat stem rust pathogen (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) threaten wheat production primarily in East Africa, Middle East and Central Asia, but also the globally. Stem rust disease outbreaks in sensitive wheat may result in 100% reduction in yield, thus severely threaten food security. We have recently discovered and described a wheat-rye substitution line, 'SLU238', possessing a novel gene towards these emerging new races of the stem rust pathogen. We have transferred this novel gene (Sr59) to a Chinese Spring (CS) ph1b mutant wheat background through application of the breakage-fusion mechanism. Simultaneously, we also developed Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (KASP) markers that can differentiate the presence of this specific gene, thereby being useful in practical plant breeding. Still, our discovery of the Sr59 gene does not contribute to food security as the gene has not yet been transferred to locally adapted wheat material. Our aim with this proposal is to 1) transfer the Sr59 resistance gene into adapted wheat genotypes, 2) secure agronomic and quality performance of these genotypes, and 3) transfer this new wheat into local systems of genotype improvements and variety spreading to farmers within the different regions that this proposal target (East Africa, Middle East and Central Asia).

Voicing participation: Linguis...tic citizenship beyond educational policy
more
|
The purpose of this project is... to build a network of scholars in the geopolitical North and South around alternative practices and policies to the import of Northern models and expertise for mother-tongue based, multilingual education. It will be framed on research on how local stakeholders in Mozambique insert their understandings of language into (local) sociopolitical and economic framings, and how negotiated understandings of (specific) language(s), and what it means to teach and learn in them, emerge out of extended, multiplex and situated collaborations between actors at different levels of engagement and implementation. Classroom observations, local narratives and interviews with stakeholders will be used to interrogate these negotiative proccesses between local community members and linguists, material designers,teacher trainers and local and provincial education specialists in the Mozambican province of Gaza. A team of Mozambican postgraduate students, together with the principal researchers, will collect and analyze data to be treated in seminars, workshops and writing retreats. The notion of linguistic citizenship will be used to analyze the intersection between the social, political and economic context of the program and the language educational planning processes. The project will offer alternatives for developing primary educaiton in mother tongue programs that build on the active nurturing of citizenship agencies around language among vulnerable populations.

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT: THE DANG...EROUS MIX OF PATRONAGE AND JUSTICE IN POST-CONFLICT COUNTRIES

|
Arrested development: The dang...erous mix of patronage and justice in post-conflict countries
more
|
Managing perpetrators of war c...rimes has been identified as a key challenge for peacebuilding in the wake of civil war. This project focuses on what happens to post-war societies at the moment leaders are arrested, which we suggest threaten former wartime leaders' patronage networks and may provoke a return to violence. We argue that violence is particularly likely to occur when incarcerated leaders have monopolized peacetime flows of patronage to their constituencies. In such situations, arrests are likely to leave clients in need, obliging them to leave the network. To salvage waning networks junior elites have incentives to organize armed attacks to compel the authorities to give them positions in the government or release the detained leader. The study will employ a mixed-method approach; a quantitative study of post-armed conflict arrests in the world (1946 to 2015) will be accompanied by a structured, focused comparison between the incarceration of Slobodan Milosevic (ex-Yugoslavia) and Charles Taylor (Liberia). By combining quantitative evidence with case analysis, this project will provide unique insights into the effect of the socioeconomic, political and military influence that wartime leaders often maintain even in post-conflict societies. The findings will advance scholarship and contribute to policy recommendation about how states can establish accountable and transparent rules and institutions that promote peace, security, and development.

Modernizing Nepal's Groundwate...r Resources
more
|
Groundwater in Nepal maintains... flows in streams essential for human needs, food production, ecological health, and hydropower production. Baseline data needed to characterize current groundwater conditions are largely unavailable making it impossible to assess the potential for sustainable groundwater development in Nepal. This exposes rural livelihoods to risk under climatic changes. The overall objective of this project is to secure sustainable use and management of groundwater in Nepal through a modernization of monitoring. With a focus on the Tarai and Pahar regions of Nepal, the project will run a series of three workshop activities with distinct follow up plans over three years (1) to catalog existing groundwater data for integration within an online groundwater information system, (2) to train on innovative mobile monitoring technologies utilizing citizen science methods (employment of rural women and youth) for the collection of new hydrogeological information, and (3) to develop synergies among Nepali Ministries and Departments demonstrating the power of data sharing and to enable development of joint applicant(s) for scaling up pilot studies. This project seeks to connect the people of Nepal to their groundwater resources. By leveraging novel technologies and geospatial databases, we hope to unlock the power of data as a central component in Nepal's plan for future climate-resilient and sustainable development.

|
Chronic kidney of unknown etio...logy in Central America and Asia - is it the same disease?
more
|
The general aim of this resear...ch links project is to enforce knowledge-based prevention, diagnostic and treatment of chronic kidney disease of yet unknown origin (CKDu) in Central America, Sri Lanka and India. This will be achieved by creating a network of researchers, nephrologists and pathologists in the different regions enabling the implementation of a comparative study of detailed described cohorts with emphasis on the renal morphology, biochemical findings and clinical data. Two detailed cohorts are already available from Central America and a third study in Sri Lanka will be initiated this year. A fourth study will be planned and executed during the study period. The findings will be presented and discussed at a joint workshop where a diagnostic scheme for evaluating renal biopsies from affected patients will be developed. A summarizing workshop will be held to evaluate the diagnostic scheme and plan for further collaborations. Results will be compiled in joint scientific publications. The outcome will have significant impact of the research field of chronic kidney disease of unknown cause, an emerging health problem worldwide. Furthermore, this study will strengthen the local capacity among nephrologists and pathologists to evaluate patients with chronic kidney disease of unknown cause and also create a platform for further studies on the endemics.

Development of oral eflornithi...ne for late-stage African sleeping sickness
more
|
Eflornithine is one of only th...ree main-stay drugs registered for the treatment of late-stage human African trypanosomiasis, a uniformly fatal disease if left untreated. Eflornithine is currently recommended as a first line treatment, but due to its complicated intravenous administration, numerous patients are left untreated. A simplified mode of administration would enable more patients having access to treatment. Eflornithine is available as a racemate, a 50:50 mixture of its complementary stereoisomers. L-eflornithine is about 10-20-fold more potent but its absorption after oral dose is less favoured compared with D-eflornithine. The project will explore by non-clinical in vitro, in vivo and pharmacometric methods, a simplified, oral treatment alternative for eflornithine chemotherapy in late-stage T.b. gambiense sleeping sickness by seeking ways to improve the oral absorption of L-eflornithine.

Adaptation and innovation in s...anitation planning: Exploring technical and societal readiness of alternative nutrient-recovery systems
more
|
Managing the globally sanitati...on crisis is one of the major challenges facing our generation, with significantimpacts on the SDGs. The World Health Organization estimates that 2.4 billion people worldwide lack accessto basic sanitation facilities posing severe risks to public health and the environment. At the same time,biogeochemical flows of nitrogen and phosphorous have been pointed out as a critical planetary boundary thatneeds to be properly managed to assure a sustainable future. There is pressing need for innovations in thesanitation sector which improve nutrient-recovery and provide services for all. There is a growing number ofnutrient-recovery technologies available, but a majority are still in the formative phase of development and notwidely applied. This may be because implementing these solutions means rethinking not just the technicaltreatment process, but the collection system, user interactions and management organisations. Improving thecapacity of our waste systems to recover valuable resource means transforming some of its core structures.The aim of this project is to explore opportunities for scaling-up alternative systems for nutrient-recovery fromwastewater in the Ugandan context through 1) investigating the technical and market readiness of thesesystems, 2) studying the readiness of society to accept alternative systems, and 3) evaluating serious gamingas an innovative planning technique for opening transformation pathways within the sector.

THE EVERYDAY PRACTICE OF PAYIN...G TAXES IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA
more
|
The Everyday Practice of Payin...g Taxes in Sub-Saharan Africa
more
|
Why do citizens pay taxes? Thi...s question is surprisingly underexplored. Understanding when citizens pay taxes and why they find it relevant and purposeful is central for answering this question. Tax compliance is a major concern in developing countries and particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, in order to reduce dependency of foreign aid and increase state revenues for providing adequate health, educational and infrastructural services for their populations. In a nutshell, taxes are needed to build capable states that can provide for their citizens. Remarkably, taxation has not figured centrally on the agenda among scholars working on statebuilding in Africa or the African voter. Determinants of willingness to pay taxes in developing countries need to be scrutinized using an insiders' perspective of what it means to be a tax payer on an everyday basis across different socioeconomic groups. This project expands on current explanations through focusing on the social practice of taxes; when, how and where taxation occurs and how this practice forms part of the everyday for ordinary citizens. This is studied through an ethnographic study of the practices surrounding tax payment in three cases in Sub-Saharan Africa (Lesotho, Tanzania and Zambia), where the willingness to pay taxes and the relative tax burden vary. A comparative micro-study of citizens' experience with taxes, using interviews and observations, will reveal the room for building a tax paying culture.

Exposure to metals and pestici...des and their toxic effects – a network addressing environment and health in Bolivia (ToxBol)
more
|
Occurrence of toxic chemicals ...in drinking water and food is a prioritised public health problem that is stressed in the new global goals for a sustainable development. The purpose with the network ToxBol is to build a long-term research collaboration between Bolivian, Swedish, and French universities and institutes to address environmental problems in Bolivia and their impact on human health, a research area hitherto poorly studied. We build the network on partners that recently have started to collaborate in projects focusing on 1) metal exposure from drinking water and food and toxicity; 2) pesticide exposure from plantation work and toxicity; and 3) susceptibility factors and toxicity. The collaboration has so far been successful in initiating field studies in Bolivia and establishment of methods; the preliminary analyses show that parts of the Bolivian population are exposed to chemicals at worrying levels. We now aim to deepen the collaboration by 1) follow-up the pilot studies, especially to increase the study participants in order to obtain more reliable results on variations in exposure 2) analysis of biological samples for biomarkers of exposure and toxic effects, 3) performance of risk assessment for the exposures identified, 4) workshops for dissemination of the results, and 5) pilot studies for future grant proposals. The ToxBol Network will increase knowledge about environmental problems in Bolivia which is necessary for improving health and reduce poverty.

WHO Research support 2016-2019... - Additional support HRP from SOCIAL (New strategy 2018-2022)
more
|
The proposed intervention is p...rogramme support for the period 2016 - 2019 to three research programmes hosted by the World Health Organisation (WHO): i) Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research, AHPSR or the Alliance ; ii) The UNDP-UNFPA-UNICEF-WHO-World Bank Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction, HRP; and iii) The UNICEF-UNDP-World Bank-WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases, TDR. The proposed support is an extension of the ongoing Agreement 2016-2017. The reason for not preparing a new agreement is that the framework agreement between Sweden/Sida and WHO lasts until 2019. The total contribution 2016-2019 is 407,2 million SEK, including 199 million SEK for the biennium 2018 - 2019. The Sida support is mainly disbursed as programme support and is therefore of particular importance to the programmes as this enables them to develop their programmes to address emerging research needs and types of support. The share of undesignated support of the total budget from all funders to the programmes were for AHPSR 78% (2015), for HRP 60% (2014) and for TDR 81% (2014). Sida's contribution during the proposed agreement period is estimated to 23% of AHPSR's overall budget, approx. 11% of the HRP's ditto, respectively 27% of TDR's ditto. Sida has extensive experience, since the mid-1970s of support to WHO for research carried out either by special research programmes or as separate research projects. Experience shows that the WHO has the ability to engage leading researchers for poverty related health issues and that the stand-alone research programmes are able to adapt to changes in the research environment and take leading role in the global research agenda. Experience has also shown that the research results produced in the programs are spread globally as a result of the WHO normative mandate. The overall assessment is that the three programmes over time have proven results in line with targets. For the biennium 2016-2017 some of the results reported are summarized below: Selected results HRP 2016-2017:1) HRP developed new updated recommendations on the use of contraceptives and fertility care asssesment guide that was piloted in Sudan and Zambia. 2) HRP concluded a study showing that the contraceptive implant (ENG implant), currently approved for up to three years of use, can be effective for up to five years. The extended use period of the ENG implant can improve protection from inadvertent pregnancy for users and reduce costs and save resources for health systems.3) HRP supported the development of a new tool for a standardized system for the classification of dead born infants and neonatal deaths. Pilot collection was completed for Nigeria and Uganda.4) HRP developed a new guide: Pregnancy management in conjunction with Zika virus infection that recommends measures to prevent and manage Zika virus infection.5) Inititated randomized control trial to determine bes

Inducing novel resistance in w...heat towards stem rust (Ug99) - for improved food security in East Africa, Middle East and Central Asia
more

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) i...s one of the world's most important food crops providing 20 percent of all calories and protein to the human population. Emerging new races of the wheat stem rust pathogen (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) threaten wheat production primarily in East Africa, Middle East and Central Asia, but also the globally. Stem rust disease outbreaks in sensitive wheat may result in 100% reduction in yield, thus severely threaten food security. We have recently discovered and described a wheat-rye substitution line, 'SLU238', possessing a novel gene towards these emerging new races of the stem rust pathogen. We have transferred this novel gene (Sr59) to a Chinese Spring (CS) ph1b mutant wheat background through application of the breakage-fusion mechanism. Simultaneously, we also developed Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (KASP) markers that can differentiate the presence of this specific gene, thereby being useful in practical plant breeding. Still, our discovery of the Sr59 gene does not contribute to food security as the gene has not yet been transferred to locally adapted wheat material. Our aim with this proposal is to 1) transfer the Sr59 resistance gene into adapted wheat genotypes, 2) secure agronomic and quality performance of these genotypes, and 3) transfer this new wheat into local systems of genotype improvements and variety spreading to farmers within the different regions that this proposal target (East Africa, Middle East and Central Asia).

Person- and Family-Centerednes...s in Ethiopian Cancer Care: Improving Communication, Ethics, Decision-making and Health
more
|
Cancer is a major burden in Et...hiopia, and Tikur Anbessa hospital is its sole unit for cancer care. With a handful of oncologists, lack of resources and a huge patient influx, the work is challenging, especially achieving effective and ethical patient consultation. Patients, usually accompanied by family, wait for long times and often depart without treatment. Handling consultations well is essential in order to help them as well as possible within such limitations.This project develops and consolidates a collaboration to better understand and mitigate the communicative challenges in Ethiopian cancer care, with focus on the handling and sharing of decision-making, and ethical tensions between patients, staff and family. In bilateral joint workshops, we will analyse multiple existing data, using theoretical models from linguistics, health communication and healthcare ethics. We will also develop clinical and methodological solutions to prepare expanded data collection, joint publications, application for joint projects and educational interventions.Though the needs of in Ethiopia are prioritised, the project contributes to understanding of increasing challenges in Western health systems, where focus on family and patient participation is increasing, not least to a growing population of immigrants from Africa and the Middle East. Collaboration between researchers from linguistics, communication, philosophy and medicine contributes to development of person centered care.

The continuing proliferation o...f brain imaging equipment due to decreasing costs is not sufficiently accompanied by development in computational tools allowing brain scientists and clinicians to exploit new opportunities and address challenges emerging with growing data volumes. The project is aimed at adapting and promoting recent methodological advancements in large data analysis, made by the Swedish partner, in research and clinical practice at institutions in Ukraine and Georgia. The proposed approach based on principles of statistical learning and inspired by the insights into information processing mechanisms in the brain's cortical networks is currently being refined and validated as part of a different project. Our ambition in this project is to build upon the experiences of the Swedish partner and collaboratively work towards a generic data handling framework for novel exploratory analysis of multimodal brain recordings, which can be deployed at the partner labs. This initiative will unlock the potential of fast developing Ukrainian and Georgian research within a broad area of cognitive and clinical neuroscience. The focus will be on establishing a collaborative research network through multiple visits and workshops that will interface brain science in Ukraine and Georgia with neuroinformatics. We envisage that in the longer perspective the outcomes of this three-year project will contribute to the advancement of medical services with obvious societal benefits.
