  • Later Impacts of Early Childhood Interventions: a Systematic Review
    IEG WORKING PAPER 2015/3 Later Impacts of Early Childhood Interventions: A Systematic Review Later Impacts of Early Childhood Interventions: A Systematic Review IEG Working Paper 2015/3 Jeffery C. Tanner, Tara Candland, and Whitney S. Odden © 2015 Independent Evaluation Group, The World Bank Group 1818 H St., NW Washington, DC 20433 IEG: Improving World Bank Group Development Results Through Excellence in Evaluation The Independent Evaluation Group is an independent unit within the World Bank Group; it reports directly to the Bank’s Board of Executive Directors. IEG assesses what works, and what does not; how a borrower plans to run and maintain a project; and the lasting contribution of the Bank to a country’s overall development. The goals of evaluation are to learn from experience, to provide an objective basis for assessing the results of the Bank’s work, and to provide accountability in the achievement of its objectives. It also improves Bank work by identifying and disseminating the lessons learned from experience and by framing recommendations drawn from evaluation findings. IEG Working Papers are an informal series to disseminate the findings of work in progress to encourage the exchange of ideas about development effectiveness through evaluation. The findings, interpretations, and conclusions expressed here are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Board of Executive Directors of the World Bank or the governments they represent, or IEG management.

  • Assessment of Efficient and Sustainable Tools for Cholera Detection and Intervention in Low Resource Settings
    ASSESSMENT OF EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE TOOLS FOR CHOLERA DETECTION AND INTERVENTION IN LOW RESOURCE SETTINGS By Amanda Kay Debes, MS A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland January 2015 © 2015 Amanda Kay Debes All Rights Reserved Abstract Objective Cholera is it is estimated to infect millions of people every year resulting in over 100,000 deaths annually. There are two WHO pre-qualified oral cholera vaccines that are recommended for use in conjunction with other prevention and control strategies in endemic and outbreak areas. There is currently a limited availability of vaccine supply, therefore, its use must be administered strategically. This study sought to improve the understanding of cholera disease burden and outbreak risk worldwide through the development of simplified and sustainable tools for use in low resource settings. Methods Data from 949 clinical diarrhea cases and 1,102 environmental specimens from 7 Health Facilities were analyzed using simplified laboratory diagnostic methods to assess the cholera burden in the Far North of Cameroon. V. cholerae 01 positive specimens were analyzed to determine the genetic relationship between geographically distinct areas in Cameroon. To further evaluate tools for determining disease burden, a rapid risk assessment tool (RAT) for cholera was developed and evaluated using surveillance data from the Republic of Kenya. Results In the sentinel surveillance study, the simplified laboratory diagnostics identified outbreaks early and with no false positive results. Sequencing revealed that outbreak specimens from the Bourrha Health district in June of 2014 were related to outbreak specimens from Darak and Blangoua Health districts in October of 2014.
