This brief provides key considerations for engaging communities on COVID-19 and tips for how to engage where there are movement restrictions and physical distancing measures in place, particularly in low-resource settings.
Using an ensemble of climate models and socioeconomic scenarios, WRI scored and ranked future water stress—a measure of competition and depletion of surface water—in 167 countries by 2020, 2030, and 2040. We found that 33 countries face extremely high water stress in 2040 (see the full list). We... also found that Chile, Estonia, Namibia, and Botswana could face an especially significant increase in water stress by 2040. This means that businesses, farms, and communities in these countries in particular may be more vulnerable to scarcity than they are today.

Assurer des prestations optimales dans la chaîne de soins destinés aux patients tuberculeux
Deuxième édition - Juin 2018
L’hémorragie du post-partum (HPP) est communément définie comme une perte
sanguine d’au moins 500 ml survenant dans les 24 heures qui suivent l’accouchement.
Elle est la première cause de mortalité maternelle dans les pays à revenu faible
et la cause principale de près d’un décès... maternel sur quatre dans le monde. La plupart
des décès imputables à l’HPP surviennent pendant les premières 24 heures après
l’accouchement. La majorité d’entre eux pourraient être évités par l’administration
prophylactique d’utérotoniques au cours de la délivrance et une prise en charge
appropriée en temps opportun.
L’amélioration des soins aux femmes pendant l’accouchement en vue de prévenir
et traiter l’HPP est une étape essentielle vers la réalisation des objectifs du Millénaire
pour le développement. Ces recommandations ont donc pour objectif principal
de jeter les bases de l’élaboration de politiques et de programmes stratégiques
nécessaires pour garantir la mise en oeuvre pérenne d’interventions efficaces
en vue de réduire la charge mondiale de l’HPP.

Plan stratégique 2022-2030 de l’ICTC
This report makes clear that there is a path to end AIDS. Taking that path will help ensure preparedness to address other pandemic challenges, and advance progress across the Sustainable Development Goals. The data and real-world examples in the report make it very clear what that path is. It is not... a mystery. It is a choice. Some leaders are already following the path—and succeeding. It is inspiring to note that Botswana, Eswatini, Rwanda, the United Republic of Tanzania and Zimbabwe have already achieved the 95–95–95 targets, and at least 16 other countries (including eight in sub-Saharan Africa) are close to doing so.
