This scoping study done in Myanmar offers the chance for FoodSTART+ to explore prospects for future partnerships in another important country of the region. The study was done from October 2016 to February 2017 and included visits to selected major potato and cassava production areas to meet with re...spective stakeholders and market actors.
Although root and tuber crop (RTC) production in Myanmar has gradually increased since the late 1990s, they still lag behind the other major crops like rice. No RTCs are included in the country’s list of primary important crops even though potatoes are regularly consumed in daily meals while other common RTCs like cassava, elephant foot yam and sweetpotato are consumed occasionally. RTCs primarily contribute to food security and livelihoods through the income generated from their sale, whether fresh or processed, rather than directly through consumption.

Ces projets de programme prototype (curriculum) de niveau régional destinés à l’enseignement et à la formation des
infi rmiers et des sages-femmes sont en partie une étape vers la création d’un moyen de mise en œuvre des résolutions
prises par l’Assemblée mondiale de la Santé (AMS)... (la plus récente étant WHA 64.7, 2011) à intérêt régional et des
orientations stratégiques mondiales et régionales visant à renforcer la contribution des infi rmiers et des sages-femmes
dans le développement des systèmes de santé. Ces cursus sont également compatibles avec la « Feuille de route pour la
mise à l’échelle des ressources humaines pour la santé (RHS) en vue d’améliorer la dispense des services de santé dans
la région Afrique 2012-2025 » adoptée lors de la 62e session du Comité régional des ministres africains de la santé en
2012. L’un des six domaines stratégiques fi gurant sur la feuille de route est la mise à l’échelle de l’enseignement et de la
formation des travailleurs de la santé.

Oxfam Water Supply Scheme for Emergencies. This manual is part of a series of guides devised by the Oxfam Public Health Engineering Team to help provide a reliable water supply for populations affected by conflict or natural disaster. Wherever possible, water supplies in emergency conditions should ...be obtained from underground sources by exploitation of springs, tubewells, or dug wells. No filtration will then be needed. However, if sources are not available or cannot be developed, the use of surface water from streams, rivers, lakes or ponds becomes necessary. Usually these surface sources are polluted. The level of faecal contamination can be measured by use of the Oxfam/Delagua Water Test Kit (see Section C). Where a serious level of faecal pollution exists, it is essential firstly to try to reduce the cause of contamination, and secondly to treat the water to make it suitable for human consumption. The Filtration equipment provides a simple, long-term physical and biological treatment system that requires no chemicals (except small amounts of chlorine required during filter cleaning) and needs only simple regular maintenance
