196.	The Essential Health Interventions Project: Improving Health Care in Tanzania
	Friday, November 25, 2005  by Admin
	Nine out of every 10 children living near the Mindu dam in the Tanzanian district of Morogoro come to school urinating or defecating blood. They have schistosomiasis, a disease transmitted through the larvae of snails living in still water. If left untreated, schistosomiasis can damage the liver, spleen, and bladder, and lead to cancer. Construction of the dam created the problem. Morogoro residents use the resulting lake for a variety of domestic uses, thus spreading the disease.
197.	Preventing Malaria: Mixing Public Health Interest with Private Profit
	Friday, November 25, 2005  by Admin
	Studies have shown a 20 to 63percent reduction in malaria disease rates following the introduction of insecticide-treated nets. But African governments do not have the resources to provide ITNs to large numbers of their citizens, let alone to entire populations. Nor can they ensure that the nets are retreated every six months with pyrethroid insecticide, a biodegradable material that is safe for humans. But more people could use nets if governments
198.	Material Gain: Bednets Treated with Insecticides Improve the Lives of Tanzanians

	The research and development (R&D) that stimulated this private sector activity has come from the public sector and the donor community, including the International Development Research Centre (IDRC). This R&D has shown that nets impregnated with pyrethroid insecticide are effective at preventing malaria. Programs by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have promoted the use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) in several districts of Tanzania

	The use of such data is at the core of the TEHIP approach, both for planning health interventions and measuring their impacts. Typically, health plans for Tanzanias 129 districts reflect several influences, including the status quo, political and development agendas, and even just plain intuition. In contrast, Morogoro and Rufiji districts set priorities and allocate their health care resources based on local sources of evidence

	Investing more to improve the health of everyone on the planet is a task that policymakers and biomedicine must tackle, both on humanitarian and self interest grounds, said speakers at the FIC Symposium on Global Health at the NIH on May 20–21.

202.	Migration in the development studies literature: has it come out of marginality
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	About ten years ago, many people including myself argued that migration, particularly for labour, was receiving insufficient attention in the development studies literature, and in policy making.1 Much has changed since, with increasing research particularly on international migration (some of it driven by security concerns), a growing number of research and teaching centres and conference that focus often entirely on migration, and at least in the development agencies that

	The HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa is increasingly becoming one of the major impediments to sustainable development. Zimbabwe is one of the southern African countries that is severely affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic which has already reversed hard won national health.

	NEW YORK, 26 May (Department of Economic and Social Affairs) -- Although countries are introducing comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention strategies to raise awareness and change risky behaviour, national and international responses remain inadequate to address the severity of the epidemic.

The PRSP formulated in 2000, expressed the seriousness of poverty in Tanzania and its overwhelming rural dimension. The PRSP stresses the importance of maintaining the economic stability achieved in the 1990s and outlines strategies for reducing both income and non-income poverty (including educational achievements and mortality), with a three year time line.
