Ziem 24 The Paddock, Hitchin, United Kingdom PREFACE This volume opens with a comprehensive review of Cryptosporidiosis in Southeast Asia by Yvonne Lim of the University of Malaya and colleagues. Although well understood in high-income nations, the epidemiology and socioeconomic impact of these enteric diseases in Southeast Asia is not so well appreciated. The authors succeed in highlighting the scale of the problem with a penetrating review of the regional literature, from which they also highlight some of the key operational and research challenges that will need to be overcome to effectively control Cryptosporidiosis in the region. The second chapter by He´le`ne Mone´ based at the University of Per- pignan and colleagues is a detailed overview of the epidemiology and control of schistosomiasis in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Given that ECOWAS represents 15 countries and around 30% of the total population of the African continent, there is a considerable wealth of literature relating to schistosomiasis and transmis- sion across diverse ecological landscapes. Control activities are progres- sing at different rates in the member countries and this detailed analysis of the situation will provide an excellent foundation on which to build further integrated control efforts. The authors stress the need for greater interaction between engineers, health experts and educationalists as countries move towards sustainable control of schistosomiasis. We are very pleased to include the final chapter by Ton Polderman of the Leiden University Medical Centre and colleagues on human infec- tions of Oesophagostomum. This contribution provides a fascinating account of an unusual intestinal parasite and the consequences of infec- tion in man, paying particular attention to studies in Ghana and Togo. Over the last 20 years or so, various clinical, epidemiological and molecu- lar studies have helped to unravel the biology of this intriguing helminth parasite and the pathology caused by infection. Successful control is possible and for the time being it seems that transmission in northern Ghana may have ceased. D. ROLLINSON AND S. I.

The significant morbidity and mortality in animals and humans caused by this disease as well as its considerable impact on the water industry have made its prevention and control a global challenge, particularly given that there are presently no widespread, affordable or effective treatment or vaccination * Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia { Department of Veterinary Science, The University of Melbourne, Werribee, Victoria, Australia { Scottish Parasite Diagnostic Laboratory, Stobhill Hospital, Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom Advances in Parasitology,

The FY 2015 request of $24 million will provide resources to establish new grants in 15 African countries and to support an active portfolio of 350 grants to producer groups engaged in community-based enterprises. USADF is a Federally-funded, public corporation promoting economic development among marginalized populations in Sub-Saharan Africa. USADF impacts 1,500,000 people each year in underserved communities across Africa. Its innovative direct grants program (less than $250,000 per grant) supports sustainable African-originated business solutions that improve food security, generate jobs, and increase family incomes. In addition to making an economic impact in rural populations, USADF’s programs are at the forefront of creating a network of in-country technical service providers with local expertise critical to advancing Africa’s long-term development needs. USADF furthers U.S. priorities by directing small amounts of development resources to disenfranchised groups in hard to reach, sensitive regions across Africa. USADF ensures that critical U.S. development initiatives such as Ending Extreme Poverty, Feed the Future, Power Africa, and the Young African Leaders Initiative reach out to those communities often left out of Africa’s growth story.

THE COMMUNITY NATURE RESERVE DEVELOPMENT NETWORK (REDERC) Benin Equator Initiative Case Studies Local sustainable development solutions for people, nature, and resilient communities UNDP EQUATOR INITIATIVE CASE STUDY SERIES Local and indigenous communities across the world are advancing innovative sustainable development solutions that work for people and for nature. Few publications or case studies tell the full story of how such initiatives evolve, the breadth of their impacts, or how they change over time. Fewer still have undertaken to tell these stories with community practitioners themselves guiding the narrative. To mark its 10-year anniversary, the Equator Initiative aims to fill this gap. The following case study is one in a growing series that details the work of Equator Prize winners – vetted and peer-reviewed best practices in community-based environmental conservation and sustainable livelihoods. These cases are intended to inspire the policy dialogue needed to take local success to scale, to improve the global knowledge base on local environment and development solutions, and to serve as models for replication. Case studies are best viewed and understood with reference to ‘The Power of Local Action: Lessons from 10 Years of the Equator Prize’, a compendium of lessons learned and policy guidance that draws from the case material.

  • Sanitation Marketing at Scale: Experiences from Rural Benin
    Sanitation Marketing April 2011 At Scale Field Note Sanitation and Hygiene Series Experiences from Rural Benin Sanitation Marketing At Scale This field note presents the Benin story and its development of a successful national sanitation marketing program adapted to the rural African context. It provides valuable learning, lessons and innovations for other African countries seeking to develop rural sanitation marketing programs that stimulate household demand at scale and harness the potential and capacity of the local informal private sector market to supply products that respond to consumer needs. 1 Summary Map of Benin Sanitation marketing is a sustainable approach to household sanitation uptake at scale. While efforts in Africa to use marketing are underway in several countries, success stories have yet to be shared. In Benin, the Directorate for Hygiene and Basic Sanitation within the Ministry of Health has championed the development and operation of a highly innovative rural sanitation marketing programme. Within the first one-and-a-half years promotion cycle under national roll-out launched in 2005, the programme has resulted in a 10 percentage point increase in improved sanitation coverage from a baseline of 6.2% across 80,000 monitored households. Besides the one in ten households in enrolled communities that has completed construction, a further 2 to 3 out of every ten households is either planning or in the process of building an improved family latrine by accessing market-supplied materials and services. While already impressive these figures likely underestimate the full impact of this marketing intervention for reasons which are explained. This field note presents the Benin story and its development of a successful national sanitation marketing program adapted to the rural African context.

DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION AND INSTITUTIONAL BRICOLAGE IN THE COTTON SECTOR IN BENIN SUMMARY This thesis is about the history of development encounters in the cotton sector in Benin. It presents a perspective that is centred on the long durée of the host context instead of the short-lived and specific experiences of each cotton project. I substantiate this change of perspective by addressing the following question: how has the cotton sector in Benin come to incorporate the institutional arrangements of development cooperation projects into enduring institutions? This thesis contends that development projects, although temporary and specific, are inserted into a historical continuum that has regularised development cooperation practices over time, and that is perpetuated by both implementers and hosts.

  • RRA on Lassa Fever in Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Germany And
    RAPID RISK ASSESSMENT Lassa fever in Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Germany and USA 23 March 2016 Main conclusions and options for response 28 May 2014 The two imported cases of Lassa fever recently reported from Togo indicate a geographical spread of the disease to areas where it had not been recognised previously. Delays in the identification of viral haemorrhagic fevers pose a risk to healthcare facilities. Therefore, Lassa fever should be considered for any patient presenting with suggestive symptoms originating from West African countries (from Guinea to Nigeria) particularly during the dry season (November to May), a period of increased transmission, and even if a differential diagnosis such as malaria, dengue or yellow fever is laboratory-confirmed. Case ascertainment should involve asking about consumption of foods and drinks contaminated by rodent urine or droppings and exposure to Mastomys rodents or to patients presenting with haemorrhagic fever. Prevention of nosocomial transmission Patients suspected of viral haemorrhagic fever should be in placed in ad-hoc isolation and cared for using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Once diagnosis is confirmed, the patient should be transported to a specialised treatment centre, the competent public health authority should be notified immediately and contact tracing should be systematically initiated. In nosocomial settings with adequate barrier nursing and prevention and control measures, the secondary attack rate for Lassa fever is extremely low. Laboratory Testing of samples for Lassa virus should be performed under BSL-4 laboratories. Sufficient capacity exists in the EU for testing purposes, however given the wide genetic diversity of circulating Lassa viruses, laboratory protocols for RT-PCR detection should be revised periodically.

  • Sanitation Promotion in Developing Countries
    ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the decision of private households to install a pit latrine in rural Benin, West Africa. A conceptual framework for understanding sanitation choices in developing countries is derived from behavioral and consumer choice theories. Cultural foundations of consumption and defecation-related beliefs and behavior are integral parts of this explanatory framework. Findings from a qualitative investigation of household behavior in rural Benin are synthesized to construct a schematic model of the decision to adopt a latrine. The model asserts that the key conditions for latrines to be chosen in rural Benin are the presence of at least one active drive or dissatisfaction from among the 11 found to motivate adoption (concerning prestige, well-being, and two particular situations), and the absence of constraints on adoption among 13 related to awareness, physical implementation, and psycho-social issues. Lifestyle and village environment influence the presence of drives. Latrine adoption and other data for 520 villages in the study area are analyzed in models of village-level adoption to test hypotheses from the qualitative work about the factors that arouse desires for latrines. Village-level conditions and characteristics that stimulate demand for improved sanitation are identified. Finally, data on the adoption behavior of 320 households are collected in a survey, analyzed, and used to develop regression and logit models of preference for latrines, stated intention to adopt, and observed choice to install a latrine. These models indicate that the most important motives for adoption are distance to open defecation and prestige, in particular a desire to express new experiences and a new lifestyle acquired outside the ii village.
