Reforms of (primary) care are not always based on evi- dence, and progress may be driven by political arguments or the interests of specific professional groups, rather than by the results of sound evaluations. However, policy-makers and managers nowadays increasingly demand evidence of the progress of reforms and the responsiveness of services. The implementation of the WHO Primary Care Evaluation Tool (PCET) aims to provide a structured approach towards this by drawing on the health systems functions such as governance, financing and resource generation, as well as the characteristics of a good primary care service delivery system: accessibility, comprehensiveness, coordination and continuity. This report gives an overview on the findings for Belarus, including aspects of the provision of tuberculosis and reproductive health services. The project was implemented in Belarus in 2008 and 2009 in the framework of the Biennial Col- laborative Agreement between the WHO Regional Office for Europe and the Ministry of Health of the Republic Belarus 2008-2009, an agreement that lays out the main areas of work for collaboration between the parties. Further partners were the Netherland Institute for Health Services Research (NIVEL) – a WHO Collaborating Centre for Primary Care – and other stakeholders in the Belarus health system, such as national policy experts, managers, medical educators, primary care physi- cians and their patients.

Evaluation of the organization and provision of primary care in Belarus 5 FOreWORD Primary health care embodies the values and principles that WHO pursues in its world- wide effort to help countries strengthen their health systems efficiently and equitably. WHO renewed its commitment to global improvements in health, especially for the most disadvantaged populations, in the recent World health report 2008, which urges countries to act on evidence that access to primary care services forms the core of an efficient and appropriate health care system. The title of the report underscores the urgency of its message: Primary health care – Now more than ever. Over the past 30 years, health in the 53 WHO Member States in the European Region has improved considerably overall, despite significant changes in the patterns and trends in disease occurrence, demographic profiles and exposure to major risks and hazards in a rapidly evolving socioeconomic environment. In addition, the Region has seen trends towards more integrated models of care and greater pluralism in the financing and organization of health systems. Governments are continuing to rethink

In spite of the fact, that the radioactive contamination owing to the Chernobyl accident affected the whole world, just Belarus was subjected to the most intensive radioactive contamination. In addition the radioactive contamination territory of Belarus more than 37 kBq/sq.m. by caesium-137 has made 23 % from the whole of the Republic. At the same time as a result of the Chernobyl accident, 5,0 % of a territory of the Ukraine and 0,6 % of Russia have been contaminated with radionuclides (fig.l). BELARUS UKRAINE RUSSIA Fig. 1 Areas in Belarus, the Ukraine and Russia with the density of caesium-137 pollution over 37 kBq/a^ (tile ratio to the total area of the countries territory). 64 By virtue of a primary direction of movement of air masses, contamination with radionuclides in the northern-western, northern and northern-eastern directions in the initial period after the accident, the significant increase of the exposition doze rate was registered practically on the whole territory of Belarus.

  • Why Women Take to the Streets of Minsk
    Why Women Take to the Streets of Minsk An Interview Study of Female Protesters’ Motivations Mathilda Gustafsson Bachelor’s thesis, 15 credits December 2020 Political Science C Department of Government Supervisor: Katrin Uba Word count: 13840 Pages: 38 Abstract While there are numerous examples of research investigating who would protest and why, the research fields of social movements and political participation have not done enough to understand the motivations of women in protest. Nor are there enough studies of the mobilisation of women in anti-regime protest in a post-communist context. This thesis investigates what motivates women in non-democratic settings to participate in protest, despite the elevated costs and risks given the context. It examines Belarus, a protest movement where women have taken on a prevalent role in the protest movement of 2020. The research design is a within-case study using the method of in-depth interviews. I conduct interviews with ten Belarusian female protesters who are found primarily via a snowball sampling technique. The transcribed interviews are analysed using a framework of collective and selective incentives. The study finds that discontent with the government and belief in the movement’s success are significant motivations, while there is not belief that their own participation will enhance the likelihood of success. Results also show that respondents were motivated by the violence used against protesters, a newfound sense of community between Belarusians, solidarity with protesters, the peaceful repertoires in the movement and group belongingness with other women. Taken together, these results deepen our understanding of protests as motivations in themselves and of motivation as a resource, but foremost of why women protest.

  • Gender and Employment in the South Caucasus and Western
    Gender and employment in the South Caucasus and Western CIS Tamar Khitarishvili FLORIN MARIN Executive summary Gender disparities negatively impact labour markets, and limit the prospects for robust, sustainable, and inclusive growth in the countries of South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia) and Western CIS (Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine). Labour force participation, employment and unemployment: female labour force participation rates remain below men’s rates. The labour force participation and employment rates for men and women have either remained stable or declined over the last two decades. However, the rates for females remain lower than their male counterparts. On the other hand, unemployment rates have been generally lower for women than for men, except in Armenia and Azerbaijan. Employment composition: female employment is less secure. Women are underrepresented as both wage earners and as employers in all six countries. In the countries with high rates of self-employment (e.g. Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan), women are overrepresented in the category of contributing family workers. Wage gaps: women earn as much as 78 percent (Ukraine) and as little as 50 percent (Azerbaijan) of their male counterparts. Research has shown that some of the wage gaps are due to industrial and occupational segregation, or the result of women working fewer hours than men. However, a large portion of the gap could be attributed to gender discrimination. While gender wage inequality has improved in most countries in the region, it has increased in Belarus and more recently in Azerbaijan. Entrepreneurship: female entrepreneurs face greater barriers in accessing credit and tend to have weaker networks in the region.
