  • Water Supply and Sanitation & Integrated Water Resources
    Water Supply and Sanitation & Integrated Water Resources Management: why seek better integration? John Butterworth1 and John Soussan2 1Natural Resources Institute, University of Greenwich, UK 2Centre for Water Policy and Development, University of Leeds, UK WHIRL Project Working Paper 2 Preliminary results of research for discussion and comment Prepared for WHIRL project workshop on ‘Water Supply & Sanitation and Watershed Development: positive and negative interactions’, Andhra Pradesh, India, 5-14 May 2001 This project is supported by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) through the Infrastructure and Urban Development Division’s Knowledge and Research programme. Project R7804 ‘Integrating drinking water needs in watershed projects’ 1 INTRODUCTION This working paper was prepared as a contribution to a joint Indian, South African and UK research project on Water, Households and Rural Livelihoods (WHIRL). The objectives of the paper are to identify approaches to improve access of the poor to secure, safe and sustainable water supplies in areas of water scarcity, and to identify some of the key challenges to the more effective management of water resources in these areas. It is targeted at organisations responsible for the delivery of water supply and sanitation (WSS) services and management of land and water resources in developing countries. It aims to promote discussion and dialogue between the research partners and these organisations. The paper is produced at a time of major changes to approaches to the management of water resources in general and the delivery of WSS services in particular, throughout the developing world. The limitations of traditional approaches based on supply provision have been recognised in many places, and the principles of integrated water resources management developed (IWRM).

This systematic review synthesised all available English-language guidelines and research regarding mass-vaccination for COVID-19 until 1 March 2021—the first three months of the global mass-vaccination effort. Data were extracted from national websites, PubMed, Embase, Medline and medRxiv, including peer and non-peer review research findings. A total of 15 national policy documents were included. Policies were summarised according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) framework for mass vaccination. All included policies prioritised front-line health care workers and the elderly. Limited information was available regarding staffing, cold chain, communication strategies and infrastructure requirements for effective vaccine Citation: Hasan, T.; Beardsley, J.; delivery. A total of 26 research studies were identified, reporting roll-out strategies, vaccine uptake Marais, B.J.; Nguyen, T.A.; Fox, G.J.

  • From the Factory to the Frontlines the Operation Warp Speed Strategy for Distributing a COVID-19 Vaccine
    From the Factory to the Frontlines The Operation Warp Speed Strategy for Distributing a COVID-19 Vaccine What This Strategy Aims to Do This report to Congress details a strategy to achieve the principal purpose and objective of Operation Warp Speed (OWS): ensuring that every American who wants to receive a COVID-19 vaccine can receive one, by delivering safe and effective vaccine doses to the American people beginning January 2021. The leadership of OWS has committed to being transparent with Congress, the media, and the American people. OWS has provided regular briefings on topics of interest to Congress and the media and will continue to provide updates and announcements as OWS reaches new milestones. Congress has been a vital partner in the all-of-America response to the COVID-19 pandemic. With support provided through emergency supplemental and flexible discretionary funding, OWS has now made strong progress toward a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine, with multiple candidates in Phase 3 clinical trials. Simultaneously, OWS and partners are developing a plan for delivering a safe and effective product to Americans as quickly and reliably as possible. Experts from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are leading vaccine development, while experts from the Department of Defense (DoD) are partnering with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other parts of HHS to coordinate supply, production, and distribution of vaccines. Successful implementation of the national COVID-19 vaccination program requires precise coordination across federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial governments and among many public and private partners.

It was prepared by the LEARN mechanism out of the USAID Office of Learning, Evaluation and Research (LER) in the Bureau for Policy, Planning and Learning (PPL). LEARN is managed by Dexis Consulting Group. COVER PHOTO: Zambian girl leaves latrine. (Source: Akros) Photo credit: Andrew Prinsen DEEP DIVE SUMMARY INFORMATION Sector WASH Type of Intervention Community-Led Total Sanitation Program (CLTS), supplemented by a Mobile-to-Web (M2W) application and close collaboration with traditional leaders Country/Region Zambia / Southern Africa Size & Scope Akros, funded by the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID) and in partnership with UNICEF and the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ), implemented the M2W monitoring component of a Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) program in Zambia as part of the Zambian Sanitation and Health Program (ZSHP), beginning with a few pilot districts, then expanding to all rural counties. Funded Activities In partnership with UNICEF and the Zambian government, Akros developed a Mobile-to-Web (M2W) application using the open-source District Health Information System 2 (DHIS2) software that allowed real-time monitoring of latrine construction and sanitation improvements at the community level across 68 rural districts in Zambia. Akros subsequently also developed a “Chief App,” an Android-based widget that enabled key visualizations to be shared with traditional leaders. The app allowed chiefs and their headmen/women to have access to the data from the wards in their chiefdom as well as the surrounding chiefdoms to help traditional leaders track sanitation progress in their areas.

  • Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership Strategy for COVID-19 Vaccination for General Public Program Summary of Program for Jurisdictions
    December 2, 2020 Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership Strategy for COVID-19 Vaccination for General Public Program Summary of Program for Jurisdictions The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are partnering with pharmacies to increase access to COVID-19 vaccine once one or more vaccines are authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in the United States. There are two federal pharmacy programs: The Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program and the Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership Strategy for COVID-19 Vaccination. Through the Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership Strategy for COVID-19 Vaccination, retail pharmacy partners can help jurisdictions augment access to vaccine when supply increases and vaccine is recommended beyond the initial populations. With more than 90% of people in the United States living within five miles of a pharmacy, pharmacies have unique reach and ability to provide access to COVID-19 vaccine and support broad vaccination efforts. This program will provide critical vaccination services for the U.S. population, with vaccine administered at store locations at no cost to recipients. The program will be implemented in close coordination with jurisdictions to ensure optimal COVID-19 vaccination coverage and vaccine access nationwide. Program activation will be on a national scale, with select pharmacy partners receiving a direct allocation of COVID- 19 vaccine. Timing and scale of activation (how many partners, how many stores) will depend on various factors, including supply. The federal retail pharmacy program does not include every pharmacy in the United States. Pharmacies not included in the federal program will need to coordinate with their jurisdictions to become COVID- 19 vaccination providers.

  • The French Health Care System
    The french health care system The french health care system VICTOR RODWIN PROFESSOR OF HEALTH POLICY AND MANAGEMENT WAGNER SCHOOL OF PUBLIC SERVICE, NEW YORK UNIVERSITY NEW YORK, USA ABSTRACT: The French health care system is a model of national health insurance (NHI) that provides health care coverage to all legal residents. It is an example of public social security and private health care financing, combined with a public-private mix in the provision of health care services. The French health care system reflects three underlying political values: liberalism, pluralism and solidarity.
