Climate change is one of the biggest crises of our time. Climate threats range from higher temperatures, heavy rainfalls and floods, erratic precipitation, droughts, desertification, and land degradation. This has negative implications on the quality and quantity of natural resources, such as land a...nd water, agricultural productivity, rural livelihood options, food prices, and nutrition security, particularly when there is a lack of adaptation capacities and preparedness measures (Pacillo, 2024). Farmers are at the forefront of the climate crisis where their livelihoods are being jeopardized, and they are faced with many challenges to secure water, energy, and agriculture inputs, and maintain agriculture productivity. This heightens the risk of competition over natural resources and aggravates grievances and structural inequalities related to land rights and ownership as well as land access, management, and governance. In Africa, land-related issues are among the triggers of many violent disputes (Medina et al, 2024). For instance, communal violence in Nigeria and Sudan is tied to competition over scarce fertile land and poor resource governance (Bruce and Bourdeaux, 2013).

Updated Treatment Guidelines
La resistencia a los antimicrobianos (RAM, utilizado también como equivalente de "resistente a los antimicrobianos en este documento) constituye un importante motivo de preocupación mundial en el ámbito de la salud pública y un problema para la inocuidad de los alimentos. Cuando l...os patógenos se hacen resistentes a los agentes antimicrobianos, pueden ser más peligrosos para la salud humana a causa de un posible fracaso de los tratamientos, de la pérdida de opciones para los tratamientos y de la mayor probabilidad y gravedad de las enfermedades. Los problemas relacionados con la RAM están intrínsecamente relacionados con el uso de antimicrobianos en cualquier ámbito, lo que comprende los usos humanos y no humanos. El uso de agentes antimicrobianos en animales/cultivos destinados a la producción de alimentos constituye un factor potencialmente importante de riesgo de selección y propagación a los seres humanos de microorganismos resistentes y determinantes de RAM a partir de dichos cultivos/animales a través del consumo de alimentos.

For IST to be effective there is need for utilization of multiple techniques that will lead to transfer of competences (Bluestone et al. 2013). Learning settings should be selected to support relevant and realistic practice so as to increase the efficiency of IST. Alternatives to hotels such as trai...ning institutions and hospitals are viable options for reducing costs of IST as well as being appropriate venues (MOH 2012). There is documented evidence of involvement of academic institutions in providing health leadership capacity building through IST in other countries; for example, in Uganda, IST in leadership for doctors and nurses was done through a blended approach that included didactic and online sessions (Nakanjako et al. 2015). Adapting these concepts, FUNZOKenya piloted eight regional hubs, each serving a cluster of counties, which would train health workers for five years (2012-2016) on priority service delivery topics
