Nutrition For the first quarter 2015, 167,460 children under five have been screened in the eight regions of Guinea of which 8,373 were diagnosed severely malnourished and received care and treatment within a therapeutic feeding program nutrition center CRENAS (outpatient care) or CRENI (inpatient care). A SMART survey is planned to update nutrition indicators and assess the impact of Ebola on nutrition status. The recruitment of a national consultant is ongoing to assist the planning of the survey. UNICEF and its partners have supported families affected by Ebola with counseling and therapeutic food distribution to nearly 1,967 beneficiaries and 1,306 children who have lost one or both parents have received nutrition support. The nutrition sector is currently designing communication tools to strengthen community skills in communication for nutrition behavior change to prevent malnutrition. A Knowledge Aptitude and Practice (KAP) survey supported by Helen Keller International (HKI) and UNICEF is underway in the Kankan region to serve as a baseline for the implementation of a three-year integrated nutrition and health project. Nutrition and food security cluster continue to meet every two weeks gathering all implementing partners and UN agencies that are incumbent on nutrition and food security.

  • Bauxite Mining in the Boké Region (Western Guinea): Method Used and Impacts on Physical Environment
    European Journal of Sustainable Development Research 2019, 3(3), em0087 ISSN: 2542-4742 Bauxite Mining in the Boké Region (Western Guinea): Method Used and Impacts on Physical Environment Souare Sidiki 1* 1 Gamal Abdel Nasser, University of Conakry, GUINEA *Corresponding Author: [email protected] Citation: Sidiki, S. (2019). Bauxite Mining in the Boké Region (Western Guinea): Method Used and Impacts on Physical Environment. European Journal of Sustainable Development Research, 3(3), em0087. https://doi.org/10.29333/ejosdr/5735 Published: March 21, 2019 ABSTRACT This study assesses the environmental impact of bauxite mining and the attempts at managing those impacts around the three different bauxite mining communities “zones” (Sangarédi, Boké, Fria) in the western Guinea. Mining sector is important to the country’s economy; it represents 75 to 85% of resources exports by year, especially bauxite and figures prominently in the government's development priorities, evidenced by the broad movement of reforms undertaken by the authorities since 2010. In this context, these reforms aim both to minimize the risks while maximizing the benefits of the mining activity. This implies among other things, a better distribution of income from the mine, strict compliance with environmental standards, to record activity in a sustainable development perspective. To better understand these reforms and scope, this research evaluates the existing framework and innovations of the new reforms in the context of sustainable development. The researcher conducted a data collection, a series of interviews with resource persons (The local communities, the Ministry of Mines, mining companies and NGOs working in the mining sector), to analyze the Environmental and Socio-economic impact of mine.

  • Mapping Maternal and Newborn Healthcare Access in West African Countries
    Mapping maternal and newborn healthcare access in West African Countries Dorothy Ononokpono University of Uyo Bernard Baffour ( [email protected] ) Australian National University https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9820-2617 Alice Richardson Australian National University Research article Keywords: Maternal and newborn health, districts, West Africa, mapping, geospatial analysis, buffer analysis. Posted Date: August 13th, 2019 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.2.11583/v2 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/28 Abstract Background: The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) three emphasizes the need to improve maternal and newborn health, and reduce global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100 000 live births by 2030. Achieving the SDG goal 3.1 target will require evidence based data on concealed inequities in the distribution of maternal and child health outcomes and their linkage to healthcare access. The objectives of this study were to estimate the number of women of reproductive age, pregnancies and live births at subnational level using high resolution maps and to quantify the number of pregnancies within user- dened distances or travel times of a health facility in three poor resource West African countries: Mali, Guinea and Liberia. Methods: The maternal and newborn health outcomes were estimated and mapped for the purpose of visualization using geospatial analytic tools. Buffer analysis was then performed to assess the proximity of pregnancies to health facilities with the aim of identifying pregnancies with inadequate access (beyond 50km) to a health facility. Results: Results showed wide variations in the distribution of maternal and newborn health outcomes across the countries of interest and districts of each of the countries.
