Putting Children First: Identifying solutions and taking action to tackle poverty and inequality in Africa.
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 23-25 October 2017
This three-day international conference aimed to engage policy makers, practitioners and researchers in identifying solutions for fighting child poverty and inequality in Africa, and in inspiring action towards change. The conference offered a platform for bridging divides across sectors, disciplines and policy, practice and research.
In settings of political strife or conflict, faith-based organizations provide multi-sectoral programs to help people survive. Samaritan’s Purse will describe their Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) funded Infant and Young Child Feeding Project as part of a larger water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) program in South Sudan.

At the Christian Alliance for Orphans annual gathering on May 1, 2015, Hope Through Healing Hands hosted a workshop entitled The Mother & Child Project: How to Prevent the Orphan Crisis. While most workshops were providing instructive guidance on the care of orphans and vulnerable children both at home and around the world, ours focused on the prevention side; that is, how can we stop the orphan crisis before it begins? How can we turn the tide over the next two decades?

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.

Putting Children First: Session 2.1.A Stephen Devereux & Julian May - Child malnutrition in South Africa [24-Oct-17]
1. How many malnourished children
are there in South Africa?
Why?
What can be done?
Stephen Devereux
Julian May
Coretta Jonah
2. A food security paradox
• More than enough food at national level
• Declining child hunger
• Social protection for children
• Free primary health care for children and
mothers
BUT
• Unchanged or possibly worsening of child
stunting
3. • How many malnourished children are
there in South Africa?’
• Why are 1 in 4 children in South Africa
stunted?
• What can be done?
5. Context
• The dramatic decline in pediatric AIDS has meant that the
the context of maternal and child health has changed
• 1 million babies born in South Africa each year, 30 000 of
which die before reaching one year of age
• 15.5 per cent of births have low-birth weight, of which 3.5
per cent can be attributed to maternal under-nutrition
• Diarrhoea is the leading cause of death for these children
• Underweight contributed to 12 per cent of attributable
deaths in <5 children
• Sub-optimal feeding practices estimated to be responsible
for 10 per cent of DALYs of <5 children
13. Explaining the paradox
• “Not availability”
Availability of food ≠ Access to food
• “Not hunger”
Food security ≠ Nutrition security
14. Explaining the paradox
• “Not availability”
Availability of food ≠ Access to food
• “Not hunger”
Food security ≠ Nutrition security
• “Not exclusion”
Social protection coverage ≠ adequacy
15. Availability of food ≠ Access to food
Enough food at national level
does not mean enough food
at household/individual level.

16. Availability of food ≠ Access to food
Enough food at national level
does not mean enough food
at household/individual level.
Stats SA 2017
Children are most at risk
of poverty in South Africa
– including food poverty.
17. Pathways to malnutrition:
e.g. adequate access to food
– but the wrong kind of food
(undiversified, obesogenic)
Food security ≠ Nutrition security
18. Pathways to malnutrition:
e.g. adequate access to food
– but the wrong kind of food
(undiversified, obesogenic)
– or no exclusive breast-feeding
Food security ≠ Nutrition security
19. Social protection coverage ≠
Social protection adequacy
Social protection floor:
Guaranteed income security for all
20. Social protection coverage ≠
Social protection adequacy
Social protection floor:
Guaranteed income security for all
‘Dilution’ of social grants:
Multiple uses & multiple users
24. Learning from Brazil
Rising incomes of poor families:
Economic growth
+ rising minimum wage
+ Family Agriculture
Programme
+ cash transfers
(e.g. Bolsa Familia)
Rising income
= improved
access to food
25. Learning from Brazil
Improving maternal and child health care:
free health services +
Family Health Strategy
Improved
mother and
child health
26. Learning from Brazil
Wider coverage of water supply and sanitation services:
more households
served by public
water supply and
public sewage system
Access to clean
water and
sanitation
