Displacement of Students and Educators. The war in Ukraine has resulted in more than 6
million Ukrainians fleeing to neighboring countries. This in...cludes nearly 665,000 students (16% of total number of enrolled students) and over 25,000 educators (6% of total educators in the country).

                                                                In 2012, all Member States of the World Health Organization (WHO) endorsed a historical target to reduce premature mortality from noncommunicable diseases
(NCD). This commitment was echoed in 2015 by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which included a target to reduce premature morta...lity (the
measure of unfulfilled life expectancy and deaths between the ages of 30 and 70 years) from NCD by 30% by the year 2030. The Sustainable Development Goals are especially relevant to cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death globally, with increasing prevalence in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC).

Examples    are    multidrug-‐resistant    enteric    bacterial    pathogens    such    as    typhoid,  ...  diarrhoeagenic    Escherichia    coli    and    invasive    non-‐typhi    salmonella,    penicillin-‐resistant    Streptococcus    pneu-‐moniae,    vancomycin-‐resistant    enterococci,    methicillin-‐resistant    Staphylococcus    aureus    and    multidrug-‐re-‐sistant    Mycobacterium    tuberculosis.    Resistance    to    medicines    commonly    used    to    treat    malaria    is    of    particu-‐lar    concern,    as    is    the    emerging    resistance    to    anti-‐HIV    drugs.    Often,    more    expensive    medicines    are    required    to    treat    these    infections,    and    this    becomes    a    major    challenge    in    resource-‐poor    settings.

This study was conducted from March 20 to April 11, 2010. It was supported jointly by the Women in Development Indefinite Quantity Contract (WID IQC) Task Order 1 ShortTerm Technical Assistance and ...Training (STTA&T) and the USAID/Senegal mission. In addition to conducting a literature review, the team made site visits in the cities and towns of Dakar, Thiès, Kaolack, and Tambacounda and villages near each of them. These offered examples of key gender issues in Senegal, including gender disparities in access to education, unequal allocation of land and other productive resources, and gender-based violence (such as domestic violence, female genital cutting [FGC], and rape), as well as examples of USAID/Senegal‟s programming to address these problems.
