  • ECOWAS Peace & Security Report
    ISSUE 10 | OCTOBER 2014 ECOWAS Peace & Security Report Politicians talk past each other as Togo’s 2015 elections approach Introduction While the presidential election in Togo is scheduled for the first quarter of 2015, politicians have still not reached agreement on the implementation of the policy reforms of the 2006 Global Political Agreement. The events of recent months illustrate the seriousness of the political impasse on these issues, which are central to the governance of the country. While the presidential election in Togo is scheduled for the first quarter of 2015, politicians have still not reached agreement on the implementation of the policy reforms of the 2006 Global Political Agreement. The events of recent months illustrate the seriousness of the political impasse on these issues, which are central to the governance of the country. On 30 June 2014, the National Assembly rejected the bill on constitutional and institutional reforms that had been tabled a week earlier by the Government.1 This bill proposed limiting the presidential term to two five-year periods, allowing a two-round presidential election, creating a Senate, reforming the Constitutional Court, defining the prerogatives of the Prime Minister and instituting new eligibility criteria for the presidency. This rejection reflects the failure of the so-called ‘Togo Telecom’ political dialogue, which ended in June 2014. The dialogue failed to reach consensus on the implementation of constitutional and institutional reforms, some of which concerned preparations for the 2015 election. For eight years, the conditions for implementing these reforms have regularly been put back on the agenda without any significant progress being observed.

  • THE GLOBAL DRACUNCULIASIS ERADICATION CAMPAIGN by Eric
    THE GLOBAL DRACUNCULIASIS ERADICATION CAMPAIGN By Eric A. Butvidas A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Geography—Master of Science 2015 ABSTRACT THE GLOBAL DRACUNCULIASIS ERADICATION CAMPAIGN By Eric A. Butvidas Dracunculiasis , also referred to as Guinea worm disease (GWD), is an ancient scourge on the brink of eradication. It is contracted when humans drink water from sources infested by microcrustacean copepods harboring Guinea worm (GW) larvae. The copepods dissolve in the stomach and release the GW larvae which make their way to the gut of the final host. Soon after, male and female GWs mate and approximately one year after entering the human body, a gravid female GW protrudes through the final host’s skin to release her larvae, causing extreme pain and debilitation. The most common treatment involves the slow extraction of the GW over time, but the cycle can be repeated without education/prevention and control interventions. In 1981, a global campaign to eradicate GWD was initiated simultaneously with the United Nations’ International Drinking Water Supply and sanitation Decade (1981-1990). This thesis contributes to the existing body of literature on GWD by providing a review of the disease’s history, research, and global programmatic findings from 1981 to 2013. It reconstructs the Global Dracunculiasis Eradication Campaign (GDEC) using the data made publicly available by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and their affiliates chiefly through three publications: Guinea Worm Wrap-Up , Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report , and Weekly Epidemiological Record . Through this reconstruction of GDEC, hypotheses are generated about why GWD continues to persist in four sub-Sahara African countries: Chad, Ethiopia, Mali, and South Sudan.

The control of a public health disease is rightly considered by medical authorities as a health priority, especially when it j.s severely disabling for a considerable part of the population. The health priority becomes a national imperative when such a disease prevents the socioeconomic development of many areas 1n the country. When it extends beyond the borders of one country and the solution to the problem of public health lies in activities involving several countries, it ls necessary to arrive at a regional control. The inter-country cooperatlon can then appeal for in*.ernational aid proportional to the scope of the activity to be carried out. 2. Qnchocerciasis control corresponds to the above outline. This concerns bringing under control a severely disabling disease, river blindness, that is widespread in some of the African regions. This control will prompt the populations to reclaim lands that had been abandoned in the past and this will make it possible to improve the socj-oeconomic development of several countries. 3. It was with this end in vj.ew that four international agencies of the United Nations systems (UNDP, FAO, the Wor1d Bank, WHO), supported by a group of donors, decided in 7974 to assist seven West African countries (Benin, Burkj-na Faso, C6te d'Ivoire, Ghana, Ma1i, Niger and Togo) affected by onchocerclaisis.
