The general population HIV prevalence stands at 5.1%(THMIS 2011/12) down from 18% in 1990.
HIV and STIs prevalence are also high among KP's, HIV is 31.4% while other STI has an average of 26% prevalence.
The number of KP's is not known, although there are fledgling groups of KP's which have started advocating for the Right to Health of KP's including protection against HIV infection, care and treatment to PLHIV KP's.

She reflected on what she described as the 'system' of complex, multiple responses, that has evolved in Australia to contain HIV, and what we can learn from our successes in order to address the goals of the UN Political declaration on HIV and meet Australia's targets for HIV prevention and treatment.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

COMMUNITY ODF STATUS AND EBOLA VIRUS DISEASE
(EVD) IN
LOFA COUNTY, LIBERIA
2. BACKGROUND
• The need to measure health impacts of WASH interventions
long recognized
• At the time, scientific evidence-base of impact of CLTS on
health was weak in spite of abundant empirical observations
• Community-based EVD prevention had not been studied prior
to the outbreak
• Project was not designed for research, but provided some
opportunities to compare differences between CLTS and non-
CLTS communities
3. IWASH
• Funded by USAID and implemented by NGO
(Global Communities) with Government of Liberia
(GoL)
• CLTS in last two years of 4-year project
• New CLTS activities ended with the Ebola outbreak
in early 2014
4. CLTS IN IWASH
• Liberia has a formal CLTS protocol (developed with
iWASH assistance).
• EVD outbreak before larger communities could be
“triggered”
• 98 of 115 communities “triggered” for CLTS became
ODF and validated by GoL
5. EBOLA (EVD) IN LOFA COUNTY
• Entered Liberia through
an adjoining district in
March 2014
• 928 reported EVD cases,
648 EVD-attributed
deaths
• NL had, reported no EVD
deaths in ODF
communities, but deaths
in non-ODF communities
6. PURPOSE
In early 2015, WHO called for documenting Lesson Learned from
community experiences with EVD in Lofa County
This study sought to:
• 1) validate claims of no EVD cases in CLTS ODF communities
• 2) determine if CLTS-specific interventions were the likely
explanation of differences
• 3) control for possible confounders
• 4) Identify areas for additional study
7. METHODOLOGY
Retrospective study where CLTS was implemented by iWASH
prior to epidemic
• Literature and Data Review
• Household Survey
• Key Informant Interviews (KII)
•
• Focus Group Discussion (FGD) both genders (14 EVD and
Non-EVD communities)
8. HOUSEHOLD SURVEY
• 551 Household Interviews in local languages,
including all tribes, religions and clans
• Cross-sectional
• Community size and proximity to Ebola and ODF communities considered
• Households per community: proportionate
• Sampling
• Communities: simple random sampling
• Individual HH: systematic random sampling

13. ODF COMMUNITIES SAID THEY WERE PRACTICING
PROTECTIVE BEHAVIORS PRIOR TO THE OUTBREAK.
14. QUALITATIVE FINDINGS
• No differences in responses ranking trusted Ebola
info sources: radio, NGOs, health workers, etc.
between communities
• EVD communities said denial or ignorance of Ebola
as a “real” disease made them resist early
information about prevention and response.
15. ANALYSIS
• No cases of EVD in ODF communities
• CLTS communities (“triggered” but not validated as
ODF) were 17 times less likely to have cases of EVD
• Diarrhea, intestinal worms and ringworm prevalence
lower in ODF communities
• Strong inverse correlation between CLTS/ODF and EVD
(R = - 0.6)
• Strongly infers that the CLTS effect not due to chance.
16. LESSONS LEARNED
• The community must take the initiative and sustain the effort with their
own resources
• NL network developed through CLTS guaranteed trusted linkages to
individual communities
• Communities develop their own ways to sustain behaviors (e.g. “fines”)
• Partnership with GoL and traditional leadership led to acceptability
• The GoL CLTS methodology (developed with GC technical assistance) is
sound for the Liberian context.
• Monitoring throughout the process was very important for successful ODF
17. • How can lessons learned be incorporated into both WASH
and community health programs?
• Where are the appropriate integration points in national
programs (health, public works, etc.?)
• What were the key factors?
• Improved communication channels?
• Resilience?
• Can “Trust” between communities and responders be measured?
• Will “enthusiasm” be maintained?
• Are CLTS communities "positive deviants”?
18. IMPLICATIONS FOR FUTURE PROGRAMS
• Good foundations based on communities’ own met
needs are an effective basis for public health
emergency response
• Strong CLTS protocols and validation (“no
shortcuts!”) extremely important
• Effective government-NGO implementation
partnerships important
19. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WASH AND
HEALTH PROGRAMS
• Disease prevalence (CDD, etc.) baseline studies
and final studies are needed to confirm CLTS and
other WASH interventions impact on health
• Public health and WASH disciplines need a
common language and indicators for stronger
programming and measurement
• More dialogue between disciplines is needed
20. WAY FORWARD
• CLTS/ODF is only the “first step” of the Sanitation
Ladder. (Does nothing for access to clean water)
• Better coverage of access to clean water still
needed to increase WASH impact on health
• Women’s involvement as CLTS implementers
needs more emphasis; Literacy as a criteria is a
barrier in NL selection. Lessons from MNCH
programs can be applied to overcome gender
barriers
