  • Empowering Women in West African Markets Case Studies from Kano, Katsina (Nigeria) and Maradi (Niger)
    Fighting Hunger Worldwide Empowering Women in West African Markets Case Studies from Kano, Katsina (Nigeria) and Maradi (Niger) VAM Gender and Markets Study #7 2017 1 The Zero Hunger Challenge emphasizes the importance of strengthening economic empowerment in support of the Sustainable Development Goal 2 to double small-scale producer incomes and productivity. The increasing focus on resilient markets can bring important contributions to sustainable food systems and build resilience. Participation in market systems is not only a means for people to secure their livelihood, but it also enables them to exercise agency, maintain dignity, build social capital and increase self-worth. Food security analysis must take into account questions of gender-based violence and discrimination in order to deliver well-tailored assistance to those most in need. WFP’s Nutrition Policy (2017-2021) reconfirms that gender equality and women’s empowerment are essential to achieve good nutrition and sustainable and resilient livelihoods, which are based on human rights and justice. This is why gender-sensitive analysis in nutrition programmes is a crucial contribution to achieving the SDGs. The VAM Gender & Markets Initiative of the WFP Regional Bureau for West and Central Africa seeks to strengthen WFP and partners’ commitment, accountability and capacities for gender-sensitive food security and nutrition analysis in order to design market-based interventions that empower women and vulnerable populations. The series of regional VAM Gender and Markets Studies is an effort to build the evidence base and establish a link to SDG 5 which seeks to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.

  • Cost-Effectiveness of Alternative Uses of Polyvalent
    Original Article Medical Decision Making 2019, Vol. 39(5) 553–567 Ó The Author(s) 2019 Cost-Effectiveness of Alternative Uses Article reuse guidelines: sagepub.com/journals-permissions DOI: 10.1177/0272989X19859899 of Polyvalent Meningococcal Vaccines journals.sagepub.com/home/mdm in Niger: An Agent-Based Transmission Modeling Study S. M. Niaz Arifin, Christoph Zimmer, Caroline Trotter, Anaı¨s Colombini, Fati Sidikou, F. Marc LaForce, Ted Cohen, and Reza Yaesoubi Background. Despite the introduction of an effective serogroup A conjugate vaccine (MenAfriVacä), sporadic epi- demics of other Neisseria meningitidis serogroups remain a concern in Africa. Polyvalent meningococcal conjugate (PMC) vaccines may offer alternatives to current strategies that rely on routine infant vaccination with MenAfriVac plus, in the event of an epidemic, district-specific reactive campaigns using polyvalent meningococcal polysaccharide (PMP) vaccines. Methods. We developed an agent-based transmission model of N. meningitidis in Niger to compare the health effects and costs of current vaccination practice and 3 alternatives. Each alternative replaces MenAfriVac in the infant vaccination series with PMC and either replaces PMP with PMC for reactive campaigns or implements a one-time catch up campaign with PMC for children and young adults. Results. Over a 28-year period, replacement of MenAfriVac with PMC in the infant immunization series and of PMP in reactive campaigns would avert 63% of expected cases (95% prediction interval 49%–75%) if elimination of serogroup A is not followed by serogroup replacement. At a PMC price of $4/dose, this would cost $1412 ($81–$3510) per disability-adjusted life-year (DALY) averted. If serogroup replacement occurs, the cost-effectiveness of this strategy improves to $662 (cost-saving, $2473) per DALY averted.
