  • Gender Center and Gender Mainstreaming

    Gender Center and Gender Mainstreaming

    Gender Center and Gender Mainstreaming Educational level: University | Beneficiaries: Students, faculty, and staff Background Assessments of universities such as Jimma University1 and the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM)2 that found sexual harassment and violence and high attrition of female students played a role in developing gender centers.1 At the University of Western Cape, campus activism on issues including gender imbalances in salary and career development, sexual harassment, and maternity leave and child care contributed to the creation of a gender center.3 In other institutions, national and institutional commitment was key. For example, one of the objectives of the Presidential Working Party to establish Moi University was to develop a gender center, and the university’s 2005-2014 strategic plan committed to incorporating gender issues in policy decision-making processes.4 Makerere University also enjoyed a supportive national legislative environment in Uganda.5 Description Many institutions, including Jimma University, Moi University, UDSM, and Makerere University, note the role of the gender centers in promoting gender mainstreaming. The gender centers, offices, and committees at the institutions included in this review shared some common functions, including gender equality-related policy development, provision of training, skills-building, mentoring, counseling services, networking, information sharing, and research. Some institutions also provide scholarships to female students (Jimma University,6 Makerere University,5 University of Toronto7); facilitate housing for female faculty (Jimma University,6 University of Western Cape3); develop curricula on gender-related issues (the University of Ghana8); and develop proposals for “gender sensitive infrastructure within the University”9 (Sokoine University of Agriculture). The University of Toronto has multiple offices that work on diversity and equity issues.

    Preservice Laboratory Education Strengthening Enhances

    Fonjungo et al. Human Resources for Health 2013, 11:56 http://www.human-resources-health.com/content/11/1/56 RESEARCH Open Access Preservice laboratory education strengthening enhances sustainable laboratory workforce in Ethiopia Peter N Fonjungo1,8*, Yenew Kebede1, Wendy Arneson2, Derese Tefera1, Kedir Yimer1, Samuel Kinde3, Meseret Alem4, Waqtola Cheneke5, Habtamu Mitiku6, Endale Tadesse7, Aster Tsegaye3 and Thomas Kenyon1 Abstract Background: There is a severe healthcare workforce shortage in sub Saharan Africa, which threatens achieving the Millennium Development Goals and attaining an AIDS-free generation. The strength of a healthcare system depends on the skills, competencies, values and availability of its workforce. A well-trained and competent laboratory technologist ensures accurate and reliable results for use in prevention, diagnosis, care and treatment of diseases. Methods: An assessment of existing preservice education of five medical laboratory schools, followed by remedial intervention and monitoring was conducted. The remedial interventions included 1) standardizing curriculum and implementation; 2) training faculty staff on pedagogical methods and quality management systems; 3) providing teaching materials; and 4) procuring equipment for teaching laboratories to provide practical skills to complement didactic education. Results: A total of 2,230 undergraduate students from the five universities benefitted from the standardized curriculum. University of Gondar accounted for 252 of 2,230 (11.3%) of the students, Addis Ababa University for 663 (29.7%), Jimma University for 649 (29.1%), Haramaya University for 429 (19.2%) and Hawassa University for 237 (10.6%) of the students. Together the universities graduated 388 and 312 laboratory technologists in 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 academic year, respectively.

    Ongoing Research Project Overview Ongoing Research Project Overview Department for Maternal, Newborn, Child & Adolescent Health An innovative approach to jump start simplified management of sick young infants with PSBI where referral is not possible for potential scale-up Background WHO developed a guideline ‘managing possible serious bacterial infection (PSBI) in young /Rationale infants when referral is not feasible’ in 2015. This guideline will make treatment more accessible and acceptable to families, as well as easier and less costly for the system to implement, when referral is not feasible. Study We used an innovative approach using implementation research to spearhead facilitated Questions & policy adoption and readiness for scale up for simplified management of sick young infants Design with possible serious bacterial infection (PSBI) where referral is not feasible through the following: - Policy dialogue and orientation meetings held at national and subnational level. - Demonstration sites established in 11 sites in six countries to demonstrate feasibility of delivering simplified antibiotic regimens to young infants with PSBI where referral is not feasible. Programme objective: To have at least 80% coverage of appropriate treatment of all young infants up to 59 days of age with possible serious bacterial infection (PSBI) Research question: What needed to be done to reach the achieved coverage? Programmatic The purpose of this work is to implement the WHO guidelines in a programme setting to Implications inform and accelerate the use of simplified management of sick young infants up to two months of age with PSBI in selected countries in Africa and Asia for eventual scale up at country level.

    Job Satisfaction Among Library Personnel in Public Universities in South-West Nigeria

    https://dx.doi.org/10.4314/iijikm.v10i2.9 Job Satisfaction among Library Personnel in Public Universities in South-West Nigeria Rosaline Opeke1 Chinyere Nkechi Ikonne2 Omobola Olufunke Adewoyin3 Department of Information Resources Management Babcock University, Nigeria123 Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract Job satisfaction is an indispensable factor for the success of every organization. It is a general concern to both employers and employees in organizations including universities libraries in Nigeria. Lack of job satisfaction could lead to poor service delivery in university libraries. Therefore, this study investigated job satisfaction among library personnel in public universities in South-West, Nigeria. The study was based on Herzberg two-factor theory. The dimensions of job satisfaction that the study covered included salary, job security, supervision, relationship with co-workers, promotion and work itself. Survey research design was adopted for the study. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire from the professional and paraprofessional staff in university libraries in South-West, Nigeria. As a result of the manageable size of the library personnel, total enumeration was used. Thus, the population was made up of 346 professionals and paraprofessionals staff from the federal and state universities. A response rate of 76.6 was obtained. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation. Findings revealed that the level of job satisfaction of the respondents was high. Contributing to this was satisfaction with job security, relationship with co-workers, work itself and recognition. The results also revealed although the level of job satisfaction of the respondents was high, they were not satisfied with their salary.
