DfID, extractives and development, focus on africadaniel edwin
DFID is interested in extractives in Africa because 15 focus countries are resource-rich with potential for inclusive growth. DFID supports global transparency standards like EITI, the Natural Resource Charter for benchmarking, and the International Growth Centre for technical expertise. At the country level, DFID supports building capacity in energy and mining ministries, addressing sector governance, developing legal frameworks, EITI implementation, and workforce skills. Future work may focus on the entire resource chain and being evidence-based. In the DRC, DFID supports PROMINES for governance and a civil society program, while achieving initial results with EITI and publishing contracts and concessions data.
The document summarizes Africa's response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 3 main points:
1) Africa saw a relatively lower number of COVID-19 cases and deaths compared to other regions, due in part to early intervention and containment measures taken by African governments.
2) While lockdowns and restrictions helped curb the spread of the virus, they also negatively impacted economies and exacerbated issues like food insecurity, gender inequality, and access to healthcare for other diseases.
3) Moving forward, the document recommends strategies like increasing local manufacturing and supply chains, strengthening public health systems, expanding social protections, and pursuing digital transformation to build resilience against future crises.
In light of the global health crisis, Imperial College Healthcare Club to host the second webinar discussion around Africa’s healthcare system resilience to COVID-19. We are honored to be joined by Dr. Kaouthar Lbiati, who are both currently working on the continent’s response to the pandemic.The event will be a discussion, where the speakers will be presenting their work as well as their views and perspectives around the Healthcare crisis in Africa.
The webinar will focus on :
1. How the healthcare actors based in Africa have been crucial in responding to the pandemic.
3. How the long-term consequences of this crisis can bring major changes in Africa.
Kaouthar Lbiati (MD, MSc) will be emphasising on the wider scope of the healthcare policy & industry and explore the strategies on both that Africa as a continent could
establish to build resilience.

The document summarizes information about COVID-19. It describes COVID-19 as a disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Signs and symptoms include fever, cough and shortness of breath, with older people and those with preexisting conditions at higher risk. Prevention methods include frequent hand washing, social distancing, and wearing masks. There is currently no vaccine, though treatments are under investigation. The disease has caused a global pandemic and cases are rising in Africa, Asia, Europe and North America.
Dr. Hamid Jafari discusses progress and challenges towards ending polio by 2023. There have been key milestones like nationwide campaigns in Afghanistan reaching 3.5 million children and transitioning non-endemic countries from GPEI to WHO funding. However, risks remain like ongoing cVDPV2 outbreaks in North Yemen, Somalia, and increased risk of spread across the region from Afghanistan and Pakistan where 20 wild poliovirus cases were reported in 2022. Resolute action is needed to stop outbreaks, strengthen surveillance, prepare for emergencies, and ensure all children are immunized.

18 jun20 ILC Global Alliance webinar presentationILC- UK
With the ILC Global Alliance marking its 30th anniversary this year, members came together to share their perspectives on the impact of COVID-19 on long-term care.
While the coronavirus has indiscriminately hit most countries of the world, its impact has been disproportionately felt by the most vulnerable in society, including those receiving long-term care. In Europe alone, it is estimated that up to half of the total number of coronavirus deaths have occurred in long-term care facilities. In order to ensure that our older population is sufficiently protected while still receiving the care they need, will countries have to urgently rethink and adjust how long-term care is provided?
This document provides an overview of monkeypox, including its history, epidemiology, transmission, and current global situation. It notes that monkeypox cases have been increasing globally since May 2022, with over 19,000 cases reported across 76 countries as of July 2022. The majority of recent cases have been among men who have sex with men. Human-to-human transmission occurs primarily through close contact with infectious skin lesions or respiratory droplets. The WHO declared monkeypox a public health emergency of international concern in July 2022.
Are malaria elimination efforts on the right tracks ADJE U D PhD, MPH, FPC PharmI O
The document discusses malaria elimination efforts in Nigeria, analyzing gains achieved and challenges ahead. It outlines that while incidence and death rates have decreased by 60% since 2000 due to aggressive control measures and investment, progress has stagnated due to reduced funding and commitment. Critical issues discussed are sustaining gains, developing new tools, surveillance, rational drug use and gradually reducing foreign funding dependence. Ensuring universal healthcare and prudent management of funds are emphasized to make elimination feasible.

The global emergence of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
in December, 2019 became a major turning point in the global health system. As at 4th May, 2020, the Republic of South Africa, Egypt and Nigeria had 6 783, 6 465 and 2 558 confirmed cases of COVID-19, respectively. Surprisingly, the number of cases in South Africa has risen to 563 598 cases with 10 621 deaths, and the number of cases in Egypt has increased to 95 666 cases with 5 035 deaths while Nigeria has 46 867 cases with 950 deaths[2]. Many African countries that were not having any reported cases of COVID-19 before now have confirmed cases while some experienced a huge spike in the number of confirmed cases due to SARS Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
The document summarizes the elimination of Onchocerciasis (river blindness) in Africa through interventions by the African Program for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC). It details that APOC has led to a significant reduction in prevalence and burden of disease across 19 African countries through annual mass drug administration of ivermectin. Key accomplishments include preventing over 300,000 cases of blindness, reducing clinical signs of infection like skin disease by 45-55%, and progress towards elimination in several countries. The success of APOC demonstrates that onchocerciasis can be eliminated from Africa by 2020 with sustained treatment efforts.
Vaccines and diagnostics—The case for regional One Health centres of excellence ILRI
Vaccines and diagnostics are important tools for One Health approaches to address livestock diseases. Case studies on the East Coast fever vaccine and Newcastle disease vaccine show that while vaccines can be effective, widespread adoption by smallholder farmers faces challenges. Diagnostic tests developed by ILRI for tick-borne diseases have had high impact, though it is difficult to directly attribute impacts. The presentation concludes that while vaccines intuitively could have large scale impacts, enabling adoption among smallholders and pastoralists is difficult, and that disease insights require infrastructure investments for diagnostics.
This short presentation made in Paris Saint-Joseph Hospital is aimed to help Understanding the impact of COVID-19 pandemia in Cancer patients in term of prevention, diagnostic, and treatment.
This document provides an outline and summary of an essay on COVID-19. It discusses the origins of the coronavirus in Wuhan, China in December 2019. It outlines the common symptoms of COVID-19 such as fever, cough, and respiratory issues. It also discusses Pakistan's response to the pandemic, including nationwide lockdowns and business/travel restrictions. The document concludes by discussing the development and rollout of COVID-19 vaccines globally and challenges to their success, including concerns over efficacy against new variants and uncertain public acceptance.

This document discusses challenges in dangerous goods logistics during the Covid-19 pandemic. It outlines several dangerous goods incidents at sea in 2019 caused by misdeclared or undeclared cargo. Possible reasons for incidents include regulatory gaps, improper cargo securing and packaging, and lack of fire protection systems on some vessels. Tools are available to manage dangerous goods, but supply chain complexities have increased under Covid-19 due to budget constraints, lack of technology adoption, and limited resources. Remote training and upgraded technology are suggested for moving forward during the pandemic.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
