India is rapidly becoming urbanised. By 2030, around 40% of the country's population will live in urban areas. The extent to which India's health system can provide for this large and growing city-based population will determine the country's success in achieving universal health coverage and improved national health indices. In The Lancet Global Health, Sundeep Salvi and colleagues1 offer a glimpse into India's urban health situation by reporting on the medical symptoms and diagnoses and the characteristics of patients who sought treatment from qualified primary health-care practitioners across 880 cities and towns on one day in 2011.

Permanent Migration and Remittances in Ethiopiaessp2
Ethiopian Development Research Institute (EDRI) and International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), Seventh International Conference on Ethiopian Economy, June 24, 2010
In recent times, an enormous amount of people have been migrating to various places. Migration has its impacts on various sectors such as economic, political and social; it also has an impact on the health of individuals and on the community. The various public health issues due to migration have been discussed in this presentation. I hope it provides new information to the readers.

Race & Ethnicity in Rural America is the third in a series of Rural Research Notes presenting data and findings from the recently released 2010 Census and American Community Survey (ACS). HAC's Research Note examines racial and ethnic characteristics of rural America, including trends and demographic shifts that have occurred since the 2000 census. This publication includes:
-Figures on race and ethnicity in rural America;
-An analysis of racial and ethnic minorities in rural and small town areas;
-Population growth figures by race and ethicity.
Leveraging Assets to Improve Health and Equity in Rural Communitiesnado-web
This presentation was delivered at NADO's Annual Training Conference, held in Anchorage, Alaska on September 9-12, 2017.
A growing body of research shows that people living in rural communities experience inequities in health and well-being compared to their urban counterparts. The NORC Walsh Center for Rural Health Analysis, with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is conducting formative research to explore opportunities to improve health
and equity in rural communities using an asset-based community development approach. This session will provide an overview of rural health disparities data, followed by preliminary findings and key recommendations to strengthen rural communities
based on an enhanced understanding of culture and history, priorities, assets, partners, and promising strategies unique to and common across rural communities and regions.

Migration, Mobility and HIV/Aids in India & UP: An AppraisalAnoop Kumar Bhartiya
Migration, Mobility and HIV/Aids are major global phenomena of the new millennium. In this presentation I have explained the interrelationship between these three and what are the major challenges.
Migration, health and development: leaving no-one behind?Jo Vearey
Contribution to workshop on 'Disrupting Global Health Narratives: Alternative Perspectives on the World Bank's Influence on Global Health' where I suggest that we need to include engagement with migration & migrant health & the World Bank's interests in migration for development. What does this mean for Universal Healthcare Coverage and the right to good health, v's seeing the migrant body as a commodity?
Moving forward: (re)engaging with migration, mobility and HIV in southern AfricaJo Vearey
In this talk, I suggest that an inadequate consideration of population moblity/migration has contributed to the challenges faced in addressing HIV within the southern African region.

Editor's Notes
TWO IMAGES
Shocks: Sudden events which undermine livelihoods. These include retrenchment, the death of an economically active household member, as well as the impact of hazards such as drought, floods or other extreme weather events, which are often made worse by mismanagement of the environment. Stresses: Ongoing pressures which face households and individuals. These include long-term hunger and limited access to essential services such as health or water supplies. Another stress is the degrading of the natural resource base, something, which may force people to travel further for fuel and other natural resources.
The theoretical framework for this intervention drew on work done on urban livelihoods, Paulo Friere’s adult learning, social anthropology and the reflect methodology. Sustainable Livelihoods is a people-centred, participatory and responsive approach to development. SL based programmes starts from where individuals, households and communities currently are, in relation to their livelihoods, and builds from there. This ensures that people - and their current, existing strengths (assets) - are built upon. Stresses are chronic – they include hunger, the fear of violence, unemployment Shocks , are acute - such as shack fires, evictions, rape, theft. Assets – whether they are financial (grants or microfinance loans), physical (a house that does not leak), social (community groups), act as buffers - they enable an individual, household or community to cope with , and recover from , stresses and shocks A SL approach involves assisting individuals to obtain additional assets (strengths) and build these in order to access and obtain additional resources. By continuously building and developing this asset base, an individual is better able to cope with shocks and stresses encountered on a daily basis. ---------------------------- Need to be imaginitave, creative Multi-disciplinary Adult educations Participatroy rural appraisals Reflect Social anth Livelihoods Understand and draw to create a strong theoretical framework Adjusted from various literature etc S ustainable livelihoods (SL) is a people-centred, participatory and responsive approach to development.

Okay, now some thought on your arguments in the slides. I am a little uneasy about the slide depicting sources of income. What is important here is that you make the argument that although based on deriving an income in some way, urban livelihoods are diverse (in terms of income sources, income activities in both the informal and formal sectors, diverse family members involved in different activities, the “unpaid” role of child-care and food preparation, etc). My worry is that this slide oversimplifies what these livelihoods look like. Am I being to finickity?

And finally, although the DDS revealed a generally low diversity of diet, recent studies by WFP and the VAM show that in fact urban diets are generally more diverse that the rural “sending” areas. I’ll source these studies for you. Good to reflect on this and to mention that another study would bring in this dimension.
Another “missing slide” for the workshop (I know I am increasing the presentation) is on the policy engagement/ influence process that you have facilitated. This is key for our stakeholders. In this regard please make mention of the advisory group, your connections and engagement with the City, your plans for future dissemination (through WV and the possibility of extra funds from them for this). I can’t express strongly enough that this argument is key; Renewal is committed to policy dialogue and trying to show how research might influence responses to HIV/FS. I can help with this if necessary, possibly even bringing I into the earlier section
